See you there, Becky

Are you new to Yoga? Or has it been a while since you were last on the mat? We will start slowly and gently, discovering how we feel in the body as we move into a series of yoga poses to the extent that we can at the time. We will develop an understanding of the benefits of each and how to enter and exit each pose smoothly and safely. We will also look at variations that may be more beneficial for individual needs. We will synchronise the movements with the breath and learn some helpful pranayamas you can use on and off the mat as well as some simple mantras and their benefits. Yoga is wonderful in helping to manage and reduce stress, increase flexibility, strength and muscle tone, and effectively balance our entire system.

Menopause should be a celebrated time in a woman’s life, but with greater demands placed on women, it can often be a worrying and rather challenging transition. Hormonal fluctuations can lead to unpleasant symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, general aches, brain fog and unpredictable mood swings ranging from feeling down to unbridled rage 😡.png to name but a few!
Slightly more hidden side effects of the body losing oestrogen include loss of muscle tone and strength and bone density.
In our Pilates for Menopause class we aim to tackle some of these symptoms through:

Pilates is effective for stress relief too as it’s all about the mind-body connection helping you to become more aware of how you’re feeling both physically, mentally and emotionally.
Our goal is to create a community of women to embrace this time of life and support each other whilst keeping a positive attitude and a sense of humour.
This class is suitable for women approaching menopause age (preparation is everything) through to post-menopause.
The class includes access to our community Facebook group where you can find useful information and share your experiences with others.

By slowing the mind and the beats of the heart, we will take a journey of powerful connection into the body, mind and soul. Working through the five elements to bring balance to both the physical and subtle body.

This is your opportunity to tune into the body and observe the mind.

The elements according to Yin -

Wood element : Gall Bladder and Liver Meridian lines

Fire element : Small Intestine and Heart Meridian Lines

Earth element : Stomach and Spleen Meridian Lines

Metal element : Lungs and Large Intestine Meridian Lines

Water element : Kidney and Urinary Bladder Meridian lines

Yin Yoga Principles
The three principles of Yin (the three Tattvas)
1. Come into the pose to an appropriate depth (find your edge and diminish the Ego)
2. Resolve to remain still (unless your body opens and allows you to go deeper)
3. Hold the pose for prolonged periods of time (1-20 minutes)

By following the three Tattvas of Yin, we are able work past the superficial layers of the body - tapping into our energy channels (meridian lines/Nadis) in a similar way to acupressure, as well as working into the deeper connective tissues of the body, such as the Tendons, Ligaments and Joint capsules.

Benefits of Yin yoga
-Lifelong improvements in flexibility and Range of motion
-Strengthening and stabilising joints
-Restoring balance and removing energy blockages
-Stretching and compressing internal organs
-Triggering the Parasympathetic Nervous System - The state of rest and digest
-Allowing the mind to become present and focused

Yin yoga is beneficial for all ages and levels of fitness, and is key to balancing our Yang lifestyles and practices.
