Yoga Workshops and Courses

About the Yoga Course:
The course combines specific yoga therapy techniques to;

• Enhance the functioning of the nervous system to improve well-being
• Increases self-awareness through the practice of mindfulness
• Improves emotional regulation & resilience 
• Reduce habitual patterns of though and behaviour

Both mindfulness and therapeutic yoga are well known to help improve stress, anxiety and depression. 
All sessions are taught in a compassionate and safe setting.

Course Structure:
We meet once a week for two hours over an 8-week period. During each session you will learn how the mind, body and brain work together from a scientific perspective and explore how to use practices that will promote wellbeing.  Sessions include a 1 hour 10 minutes yoga practice, breath work, additional mind-body activities and a group discussion.
During the first two weeks of the course we focus on regulating breath, as a mode to alter the functioning of your nervous system, so that you can manage stress with greater ease.  From weeks 3 – 5 we concentrate on the relationship between body and mood and in weeks 6 – 8 we focus specifically on the mind.
 To support your practice you are given a comprehensive manual and a CD or download with eight tracks, which coincide with each week of the course.
