Yoga and Pranayama Half Day Workshop – Saturday October 4th from 10am to 1pm
Yoga and pranayama workshop
The next half day yoga and pranayama workshop will be on Saturday 4th October from 10am to 1pm in Greystones.
I offer regular, half-day and one day workshops.
They begin with simple asana to prepare the breath and the spine. Then it goes on to explore the origins of pranayama in the yoga sutras with breath exercises to help realise these concepts.
The experience of space, length and quality of the phases of breathing, exhale, inhale and stillness form a foundation on which to develop a safe and developmental pranayama practice.
This workshop is suitable for those who already know how to do simple asanas with breath coordination.
There will be a relaxation exercise of around fifteen minutes towards the end of the workshop so please bring a warm blanket.

Yoga for the individual
The process of moving along towards a state of yoga happens in stages. This is why yoga was traditionally taught to individuals according to their unique set of circumstances. Everyone’s physical capabilities, energy levels, age, life circumstances and what they would like to achieve from their yoga practice is different. The process begins from where you find yourself. Yoga can also be used therapeutically alongside conventional treatment, whatever your level of health, to help you manage a broad range of chronic and challenging health conditions, at any level.
To see if individual yoga tuition designed for your unique circumstances will help you can email me at [email protected] for a complementary half hour consultation.
Practices begin at fifteen minutes per day, to be done a minimum of five days per week to be effective.

Yoga Nidra
iRest yoga nidra is a simple, profound, evidence-based ancient yoga practice. Often, when we feel stressed we can be encouraged to let go, but of what? The pancha Maya model helps us to become aware of the many dimensions of our being, the body, breath, feelings and emotions, cognitions, and feelings of joy, so we can become more familiar with them and experience the realisation of the essence of self which is the ground of being from which these dimensions occur. process of moving along towards a state of yoga happens in stages.
