YOGA &
SOMATIC MOVEMENT CLASSES & WORKSHOPS I believe that no matter what we do, what age we are or what our lifestyle is, by changing the way we breathe and move, we can feel better, not only in our physical body, but also in our minds, emotions and spirit. Venue: Needham Coronation Village Hall, High Road, Needham, nr Harleston, Norfolk IP20 9LB, unless otherwise stated. Some classes are also offered Live Online. |

Classes combine Yoga postures and flows, breathwork and Somatic Movement.
Soma (not the video game!) means “the body as perceived from within.” Somatic Movement is brilliant at helping with improved body awareness, release of long held tensions and improving neuromuscular co-ordination. PLEASE BRING: Yoga mat (I have spare), a blanket, any props you like to use, water, and wear loose, comfortable clothing, with warm socks for relaxation. Pay by cash or BACS.

An exploration of posture.
Date TBC SPACE LIMITED, PLEASE BOOK Is there such a thing as 'correct posture'? Do we really need to 'stand straight'? This workshop explores these and other questions and perceptions of 'perfect posture'. We look at how our bodies become what we repeat - how patterns such as tense shoulders or shallow breath can easily become 'normal', and what is normal is not necessarily natural. Many of us are living at a level of tension we no longer notice, not because we want to live that way, but because adaptation made it familiar. And once something feels familiar for long enough, we stop questioning whether it is actually serving us. We delve into various easy techniques which you can incorporate into your every day life to give your body and breath more freedom - from walking, standing, sitting and even lying down. When we improve our every day posture, we move more freely, breathe more deeply. You get a hand-out to take home with topics covered, but feel free to bring a pen and paper to jot down any notes you may find useful. |
