Yoga in the Dark Reboot

Yoga in the Dark again!

We’re excited to re-introduce Yoga in the Dark or RNIB (Royal National Institute for the Blind) this Christmas season. It’ll be on Monday 8th December from 7:15 – 8:15pm.

RNIB is a charity that supports people with sight loss, their on-going initiative, ‘In The Dark’, helps to raise awareness of those living with limited vision and raise funds to make every day better.

We can’t believe it’s been 8 years since our last session.  It was a sell-out event last time, and we raised lots for their charity. Let’s hope we can do it again!

Suggested donations will be on a sliding scale. It will be available live online as well.

We’ll create a lovely dimly lit studio space. It’s completely optional for you to use eye masks – Please feel free to take them off any time. We want the session to be interesting, fun and enjoyable!

Please book in advance as there are limited spaces in the studio. We have plenty of spots available online!

For those that can’t join the event and simply want to donate or give more. Please visit our JustGiving page.

This event is taught by Naomi Hayama, the owner of Bristol Yoga Centre. She has been teaching yoga for over 20 years, and specialises in Vision Yoga, Mindfulness Meditation and Somatic Movement.

Vision Yoga with Naomi

I’m really excited to announce that I’ve just launched my new website…

You may well ask…what is Vision Yoga? 

Over the last 5 years, I have been working with some amazing natural vision teachers to improve my eyesight. It has been an incredible journey! 

I felt that the practice of natural vision aligned beautifully with my style of teaching yoga, so I was inspired to develop Vision Yoga. It is a method of teaching which focuses on helping the mind, the eyes and body work together naturally. This will not only help improve vision, it will promote positive transformation. 

Head over to Vision Yoga to find out more.

I will still be running all of my group classes at Bristol Yoga centre and offering specialist one to one classes. 

I’ll be starting a weekly Friday lunchtime Vision Yoga class and Intro to Vision Yoga: Clarity for the Eyes and Mind at the beginning of this year.

Please sign up to my newsletter to get all the latest information. Or follow along on instagram and facebook.

I look forward to seeing you in class,

Naomi Hayama.

Vision can be improved;

the secret is relaxation of the mind and eyes.
