SPRING NEWS
Dear Yogis and Yoginis
We hope you are all enjoying the Spring! We are particularly enjoying the longer evenings and that little bit of extra spring in everyone’s step that the extra light seems to be endowing us all with. Spring is often a time of new beginnings as we emerge from the dark winter months, sometimes it can almost feel like we are emerging from a kind of hibernation. So, at Unity Yoga we too are embracing some new beginnings!! This page will be regularly updated this year not only with news about the Unity Yoga class schedules but also with articles written by our teachers regarding their style of teaching, further training or travels that they have undertaken and so on. You can also look forward to articles about Yoga Therapy, Pregnancy Yoga, Scaravelli Yoga as well as articles on topics like Gravity and Levity, The Breath and so on. If you have any suggestions regarding what you would like to see more of on our website, please feel free to email us!
In the meantime, there are a few changes to our class schedule coming up:
New FUNDAMENTALS 1 classes will begin on Wednesday May 21st from 6.15-7.45pm and on Monday June 9th from 8-9.30pm.
A new GENTLE YOGA & MOVEMENT class will begin on Thursday May 15th. It will run for 8 weeks from 6.15 - 7.45pm. This class will include gentle movement sequences, restorative yoga postures, breathing techniques for energy and relaxation as well as meditation and guided relaxation. It is suitable for anyone who feels like they need to recharge their batteries and is suitable for those looking for a more therapeutic yoga class such as those with ME or MS. This class also has a more meditative emphasis and would appeal to those of you who would like to make more time for reflection and self-awareness. This class is open to all ages and abilities!!
Francesca Giusti will begin a brand new 6 week class in HANNA SOMATIC MOVEMENT EDUCATION on Thursday May 22nd from 6.15-7.45pm. Hanna Somatics is a method of neuro-muscular re-education that can teach you to recognize, release, and reverse chronic pain patterns resulting from injury, stress, repetitive motion strain, or habituated postures. It is of particular benefit in the relief from painful joints, headaches, poor posture, fatigue and the release of chronic tensions which can build up as the result of accident trauma such as whiplash. In each class you will learn simple movement sequences; week by week building a larger vocabulary of movement and steadily increasing your confidence and ease.
