PRACTICE INFORMATION
Honouring your body
If you experience any discomfort when practicing, stop. If you have any health conditions, injuries or physical sensitivities check with your GP before practising.
Most of all move with awareness and love so you can be present to your experiences as they unfold. EnJOY!
How to practice and how often
You may not have much flexibility with your practice times due to life commitments. If your nervous system is lifted you may find this practice helps to use up some of those hormones that keep it lifted, meaning you may end up feeling more relaxed afterwards. If your system is lowered/ slow you may find this practice peps you up? Gives you energy. There are no hard and fast rules. I would suggest trying out different times of day to practice and practise with different energy levels and log the result.
I would recommend practising at least once a week but two or three times with a day’s rest in between is also a great way to embed the movement and access the results.
Things you’ll need for your classes
MOVE & TONE
In these sessions you are invited to use light weights, resistance bands or imagined resistance to help add ‘load’ or effort to the muscles. Tinned food are a good alternative to weights.
MOVE & RELEASE
These sessions use the ground or other props to help release fascial tension in the body. I recommend you have a blanket, cushion and massage balls (or two tennis balls in a sock) to hand.
IMAGINE REST & IMAGINED SLEEP
These sessions invite you to use yoga props or household things to support the body to rest in comfort. I recommend you have to hand two bed pillows, two cushions off the couch, two to four blankets for support and warmth and an eye bag or scarf if you like your eyes closed. If you yoga bolsters and bricks these could be used instead of the above.
Take time to tend to your comfort as an act of self-care, move at any time, eyes open or closed as you prefer, stay with my words or let them go.
The same practice can feel different each time. Be reassured that you can’t get it wrong and there is no ‘right’ way of doing it.
If you have any questions about your practice, please do get in touch.
