Wednesday
Mature Moves
Wednesday | with Hazel Cameron
Mature Moves is a very gentle dance and exercise class for mature dancers.
Yoga
Wednesday | with Martin Julich
The Yoga we do will have elements of Hatha and Yin Yoga, of exploring the rhythm of Breath and awareness, of working with what we can feel and how to let go into a posture.
It's a practice of Being, Feeling/Sensing and Permission to Act (i.e. after some Yin postures you’ll feel like making sound or ‘appreciative groaning’ one might say!). In other words, we are addressing the themes of the first three chakra in the process which are to Be, to Feel and to Act (i.e. choose).
In my life yoga is about working with awareness more than a physical workout.
No previous yoga experience necessary.
