Chair based yoga
11.30 – 12.30
This NEW class offers gentle exercise for anyone with limited movement or for anyone who simply prefers to use a chair rather than the floor.
The class is aimed at anyone who would benefit from gentle exercise based on a chair. This could include older people, people recovering from operations, those suffering from stress, office or chair-based workers who would like to learn some new exercise techniques, people with weight problems or with limited movement – in short, anyone who would find chair-based exercise preferable to floor-based work. Exercises are chair-based, with some standing exercises by the chair where appropriate. The class always includes some breathing techniques and mindfulness meditation, both of which help with relaxation and aid better sleep.
6 classes for £36

Antonia Boyle
Antonia is an experienced yoga teacher who discovered Neuro-linguistic programming 30 years ago and realised that much of its teaching could help to enhance our own practice of yoga and meditation. The day will be an introduction to some of the principles of NLP and will be suitable for both yoga teachers and students of yoga. Antonia promises that not only will the day be fun but will give you lots of practical ideas to take away and to help improve your own yoga and/or your teaching.
Peter Blackaby
Peter is an extremely popular and well know yoga teacher and author of the book « Intelligent yoga » whose original training in osteopathy gives him tremendous insight into the anatomy of asana work. It will be a chance to examine and understand at a deep level the real effects of yoga on the body. During the last twenty years or so there has been a marked change in ideas of how pain needs to be managed, in particular chronic pain. This workshop will explore the implications of recent research for the yoga teacher and practitioner.

Ginny works to bring acute attention to the sensations which are occurring naturally in our bodies all the time and to guide awareness to the actions and reactions which result from them. Awareness of the Chakras and their influence on our Yoga practice can change the practice immeasurably, deepening and enriching it.
