Intimate āsana
With no more than 7 students to allow intimacy, connection & laughter, you’ll delve deeper into the body, receiving hands on guidance and personalised suggestions from Emma.
Emma teaches intuitive yoga, encouraging us to let go of what we think we know and to find a new way of moving that brings us back to our beginning: the spine.
Inspired by Vanda Scaravelli, this progressive practice is about quality of movement, not quantity, where less is more. When we do less, we learn to feel more and our body delights in the softness and the opportunity to let go and release as we tune into its relationship with earth and gravity.
Over time, it is hoped that this practice helps to bring greater ease into the body, release habitual movement patterns, free your energy, encourage healing, raise consciousness and allow a more rested state of mind.
Pranayama & meditation
Besides moving and activating the energy within our bodies, pranayama provides an opportunity for focusing awareness
It is said to be the bridge between the physical practices of yoga and the workings of the mind.
There are heaps of benefits to this practice, including, decreased stress levels, improved quality of sleep, increased mindfulness, healthy digestion and elimination, lower blood pressure, improved lung function and nervous function support.
However, pranayama becomes a tool towards meditation and increasing levels of stillness, which will also be explored.
