Saturday
18th September 2-5pm
Vinyasa Flow and Chakra workshop with Ana Marcela
(6th Chakra) £30
Expand the life force and calm your mind. Pranayama
In this workshop we are going to focus on the The Third Eye Chakra-
the centre of psychic power, spirit energies, higher intuition and
light.
This Chakra is about insight and visualisation. When it is open,
you have a good intuition. The way you can activate this chakra
is through the practices of Pranayama.
Patanjali defines pranayama as "the regulation of the incoming
and outgoing flow of breath with retention."
The
practice of Pranayama purifies the entire nervous system resulting
in a balance of Body and Mind, physical energy and mental energy.
This workshop will provide both instruction and practice of pranayama
techniques as well as exploring breathing techniques during Asana
practise.
When the Breath wanders, the mind is unsteady,
but when the Breath is still, so is the mind still." - Hatha
Yoga Pradipika.

spent many years training and competing in a variety of sporting
disciplines, representing her home state of Western Australia
before training as a yoga teacher. Her extensive competitive sporting
background has given her an enhanced comprehension of the stresses
and strains that the body endures during training and competition.
Jessica
has a teaching diploma with the British Wheel of Yoga and has
over ten years experience studying and practicing yoga the world
over.
She initially turned to yoga as a form of rehabilitation after
a hamstring injury. Discovering it not only improved her agility,
mobility, strength and stamina, but greatly improved her concentration
and focus.
Jessica
has recently expanded her knowledge of sport specific yoga techniques,
graduating as a Yoga Sport Coach in a post graduate teacher training
course in Yoga Sports Science.
She is currently investigating where yoga can add value, and how
yoga can enhance an athletes training performance.
Jessica
teaches a blend of different yoga styles, choosing to work with
flowing sequences and synchronization of movement and breath.
