22nd April – The Magic of Mantra

Kundalini Yoga is an explicitly spiritual practice of yoga using groups of exercises (known as Kriyas) to develop consciousness and understanding of oneself, because of this it is suitable for all abilities. You are encouraged to do each exercise at the level that is right for you, which may be as simple as visualising yourself taking part. The effects of physical exercise and meditation are enhanced by the use of chanting, making this a powerful and rapid acting form of yoga. Notes on the Kriyas and meditations practiced in the workshop are provided for practice at home and the
workshop format allows time for questions and discussion.

Katy is a KRI Level 1 teacher of Kundalini Yoga certified and insured by the Kundalini Yoga Teachers Association, which in turn is accredited by IKYTA and KRI.
For more information see: kundaliniyoga.org.uk

Cost: £20 for 3 hours, £12 for first 1 ½ hours

On this Mindfulness Yoga day you will experience a variety of mindful meditations including: mindfulness of body and breath, mindfulness of feelings, mountain meditation, and the body scan practice. The meditation practices will be interspersed with mindful and meditative yoga sessions.

The day will give you a chance to relax and nurture yourself. The Mindful Yoga practices and meditations will encourage self-discovery, openesss, curiosity, and cultivating compassion and kindness toward ourselves and others.

The day would be a good way to start a Mindfulness practice or a way to deepen and develop your existing meditation practice. Advice will be given on developing your own Mindfulness Yoga practice.

This course would be suitable for students of all levels, although not complete beginners.

Please bring: your yoga mat, blocks if used (chairs will be available), a warm blanket, and slim cushion (If used) for relaxation; pen and paper; a packed lunch. Hot drinks and biscuits will be provided by tutor.

If you are concerned about my credentials…..I studied for four years in order to gain my Yoga Teaching qualification (not everyone on the course qualified) and I have a degree in Zoology, and a certificate in Personal Training. I’ve done Yoga for 20 years. I’ve taught for nearly ten years. I’ve done Yoga to prepare for childbirth and I have also modified Yoga to help me recover from FOUR major surgeries. So please don’t worry, I’m not going to kill you. At least not during a Yoga Class

New Relaxation Class in Shrewsbury

Local Yoga teacher, Catharine Hinton, is launching a new relaxation class in Shrewsbury Town Centre on Wednesday 22^nd February.  The hour long class, which starts at 8.45pm, is aimed at busy people who feel they need to relax more or overcome physical problems associated with tension.

“One of the most frequent pieces of feedback I get from my students is that they have a great night’s sleep after my Yoga class” says Catharine, who gained her teaching diploma after four years of study with the British Wheel of Yoga. “I wanted to offer a class that had all the calming benefits of Yoga but which was suitable for people who don’t want to do strenuous postures and sequences”.

With the Health and Safety Executive reporting that “Nearly half a million people (442 000) in Britain report work related stress at a level they believe is making them ill” Catharine has deliberately chosen to offer the class at this later evening time to enable people who work to attend the class.

Held at the town’s historic Lion Hotel, on Wyle Cop, the class features a mix of techniques all practised by Catharine and the six week course costs just £30.00. Visitors to the town can drop-in to the class for £6.00 a session.  For more information or to book a place on the course, please contact Catharine on 07970 795583.
