New Monthly Kirtan Session
We are starting a monthly Kirtan session with Arianna from Sunday 4th February 2018 at 19:30 - 20:30pm at Bristol Yoga Centre. Arianna trained as a classical pianist before becoming a yoga teacher and sound work therapist.
Kirtan is a simple yet powerful practice that opens the heart & frees the mind through simple, call & response, chanting. It's power is beyond words. During these gatherings, Arianna will share simple chants & spiritual songs, drawn mainly from the Yogic & Buddhist traditions, with other old favourites and maybe a few of her own songs thrown in. First timers need not worry - these sessions will be friendly, informal and simple... there's not even any obligation to sing if you don't feel you want to!
So come & sing, dance, make some noise....or just come, listen, be...in a non-judgemental sacred sound space. No experience necessary, just openness of heart....
Book in advance with Arianna or just simply turn up.
Mindful Yin Yoga class
Mindful Yin yoga class with Emilia is starting tomorrow at the Bristol Yoga Centre. She has two weekly classes and here are the details:
- Wednesdays at 4:45 - 5:45pm
- Thursdays at 4:30 - 5:45pm
Mindful Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga with postures held for longer periods of time between 3 to 5 minutes. The passive nature of long held postures gives time for a deeper journey to unfold into the meditative aspects of yoga. Yin Yoga is the practice of floor based postures that apply moderate stress to the connective tissues of ligaments, fascia, joints, bones and the energetic channels of the meridians, nerves and blood system.
It's a perfect compliment to the dynamic (yang) styles of yoga like Hatha Flow, Vinyasa and Ashtanga. This class will help you discover how to use different yoga techniques to live more fully and mindfully, both on and off the mat!
Contact Emilia to book for block of classes (cheaper option) or simply drop in. Here are our price details. It's also available on MoveGB!
