THE YOGA

Ayurveda (the science of life) is the 5,000 year old healing tradition of India is founded on the principle that health is more than the absence of disease but rather a dynamic integrated state of balance in body, mind and spirit. It uses special foods, seasonal lifestyle tips, massage, yoga and herbal remedies as part of its regime to help you stay optimally healthy. Ayurveda encourages us to seek experiences that are harmonising to our senses so we can learn to minimise toxic input and maximise nourishing experiences into our bodies and mind. 

Anne-Marie will guide you through a unique personalized Ayurvedic/yoga style practice in the morning where you will learn to feel your deepest connection to nature with a more dynamic, hatha flow class incorporating pranayama, chakra balancing and meditation.

The afternoon practice will be more restorative and yin-based with meditation and yoga Nidra, yoga Nidra is a deep meditative practice which can be used for transformation, healing and creating balance in all areas of your life. Anne-Marie's warm and welcoming teaching style, interlaced with gentle humor and fun allows you to explore all aspects of your being in a safe and nurturing environment. An optional Ayurvedic seminar will also be offered. The classes are structured to suit all levels from the total beginner to the more advanced practioner in all sessions there will be an emphasis on alignment, posture and on each individual's specific needs with suitable variations given for any particular issues such as back/neck other joint stiffness.  All are welcomed and nurtured enabling each participant to fulfill their potential.
