Summer is the height of yang energy, we’ve been buzzing around enjoying the company of friends, families and lots of time outdoors. But the seasons and their corresponding energies work in cycle. Just as we’ve been at the peak of summer, we must begin the slow journey towards a more yin energy as we head into the cooler seasons of the year.
Our yoga practise will take place overlooking the stunning Windfarm on Eaglesham Moor. We will be snug inside the café, with an expansive view of the sky and the moors, allowing us the perfect view of the sunset (weather permitting!)
What can I expect from this workshop?
Our time together will begin with a cup of tea and a short meditation before we get started on our yoga asana. We will embrace the heightened energies of summer to begin with a more yang or flowing style of class. As the sun begins to set we will transition to a more yin style of movement, coming to the floor for longer held poses. The workshop is designed to bring you into balance, to aid a restful sleep and to leave you feeling ready to enjoy the last few weeks of summer.
We will end our time together with a guided Yoga Nidra practise. Yoga Nidra means yogic sleep and offers a deeply meditative experience for the whole body and mind. . If you are looking for a chance to slow down, reconnect with yourself and move seamlessly between the seasons– then this is the workshop for you.
What do I need to bring?
Please bring your own yoga mat and any props you may wish to use, including a blanket for relaxation. Blocks and yoga straps will be used during this class and will be available to borrow if you don’t have your own.
Is this suitable for beginners?
This workshop is suitable for those with some yoga experience. If you have attended a few yoga classes, you will be in a perfect position to take part and get the most out of this experience. Not sure if this is for you – then please get in touch!
