A 7 week course for beginners,

Starts Tuesday 5th November

Tuesdays, 6-7pm, Low Leighton Methodist Church, New Mills, SK22 4HG

All props are provided and on street parking is available - you only need to bring yourself!

In this course we practice gentle and longer held postures and other practices to improve wellbeing and support relaxation. The poses stimulate energy flow in meridians, energy channels, and restore, rewire and replenish our nervous system. This is slow, meditative, and beginner friendly, giving you space to turn inward and tune into both your mind and the physical sensations of your body. Yoga helps you stretch and lengthen those rarely-used tissues while also teaching you how to breathe properly and sit with your thoughts.

This style of practice is based on ancient Chinese philosophies and Taoist principles which believe there are pathways of Qi (energy) that run through our bodies. By stretching and deepening into poses, we’re opening up any blockages and releasing that energy to flow freely.

Many of us live fast-paced, active lives, whether we’re going for a run, powering through several Zoom meetings, or sweating it out on our bike. Slow yoga is the perfect balance to those intense exercises, providing a slower, more meditative counterpart to help you round out your workouts. During these busy, often chaotic, times, yoga helps us to manage life as it is showing up for us right now.
