Mindfulness is both a skill and an attitude toward living that originated thousands of years ago as part of Buddhist philosophy. According to the Buddha, mental suffering (or inner stress) occurs because we cling to positive experiences, not wanting them to end, and we strive to avoid pain, sadness, and other negative experiences. If you're a interested in building a strong foundation of HOW to practice mindfulness, using an approach that is based on science and reason, then this is the course for you! We meet together as an online group once every 2 weeks, where we discover different ways of practising mindfulness. Worksheets are given and journalling, coming together as a group makes us so much stronger. We also perform a different style of meditation or mindfulness exercise each session.
restorative yoga
What is Restorative Yoga?
The practice of Restorative yoga refers to supported postures that are held for varied lengths of time to allow the body to relax and the nervous system to move towards homeostasis, the body’s natural resting phase.
How does Restorative Yoga work?
When our body achieves this stableness we activate our Parasympathetic Nervous System which is known as the “rest and digest” nervous system. The contrast is the Sympathetic Nervous System which is our “fight or flight” nervous system.
