Tuesday Morning Self Practice
Tuesday Mornings 8-8.45am You're welcome to leave your webcam on, but your microphone off. This is not a led class, this is time for you to be your own teacher! Meet up with fellow Yogary Folk as we all practice our own thing. Play your favorite yoga music, light some candles, whatever you like to make your space inviting and calm - and give yourself some time and space to connect with what YOU need in the moment. Some days you might need something stronger, other times, something more gentle. We also get inspiration from others practicing with us. Áine offers the same on Friday Mornings 7.15am. Details here |
|
Saturday Morning Yoga
Saturday Mornings 8-8.45am Get your body moving, your mind focussed and start your day off feeling refreshed. Starting with centering and physical warm-ups, we flow through a combination of Tibetan Rites with the classic sun salute and some other added extras. We finish with energising breathwork and a guided relaxation / meditation. If you'd like to chill out a bit longer after the class, choose from short to longer guided relaxations here. |

Gentle 'Somatic' Yoga
45mins Audio
45mins Audio
Starting in relaxation, this audio class gets you moving slowly,
reducing muscular tensions and creates space in your body and mind.
I leave you in Child's Pose at the end, so you can carry on with movement, follow one of the relaxations,
or move ahead with your day: calmer and with less tension.
Enjoy.

The Tibetan Rites
Introduction
Introduction
|
The 5 Tibetans (fondly known as T5T) is a fantastic continuous sequence of 5 exercises... It is said to help slow the ageing process, settle the mind and open the chakras, leading to a sense of well being. It's recommended that a healthy diet and brisk walk will help enhance the benefits. (in other words - look after yourself in every way!)
Personally, I love them. I practice most mornings, on their own or in a combination with other exercises and yoga practices. This short introduction shows you the alternatives to the exercises, so you work within your own limits on any given day. For more in-depth information on the Rites, go here. |
The Tibetan Rites
Practice - 9 of each
Practice - 9 of each
|
Once you have seen and tried the introduction, join me in this sequence where I practice 9 of each Rite.
!f you are working with 3 or 6, then wait with a soft breath for the next Rite. Best to practice every day for maximum benefit - but build up slowly: Start with some warm up shaking and then.... First week, start with 3 of each. Week 2: 6 of each Each week add 3 until you get to 21. And that's where you stay - at the magic number of 21! Keep a smile on your face, relaxed and enjoy. Once you are familiar with the Rites, practice them on your own, outside is wonderful! |
