| Special Weekend Workshop |
| Postural realignment through the Sivananda class |
| Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th January |
| See programme (above) for daily schedule |
Yoga Asanas work on both muscle length and muscle strength, increased body awareness and energy flow (Prana). These aspects of the practice encourage the natural tendency of the body to find its alignment with gravity. Take a plumb line photo showing changes in your postural alignment before and after an extended weekend asana practice. See the results for yourself!!
To take part in this programme:
Step 1: If you would like to participate in the programme, you will need to book for
the full weekend and participate in the both the 10.30am and 3.30pm
Asana Workshops on Saturday and Sunday.
Step 2: Take your first plumb line photo:
Saturday, January 19 from 9.45am to 10.30am.
Step 3: Enjoy the classes, workshops, talks and music over the weekend.
Step 4: Take your second plumb line photo: Sunday, January 20 from 5pm to 5.45pm.
Step 5: We will email you the images so you can see the results for yourself!
An appointment can be made on either Mon 21st or Tue 22nd to discuss
the results.
