Five days of early morning springtime yoga.

Our annual Dawn Yoga sessions are an ideal time to truly experience the flow of Prana – our vital life force.  By practicing daily we can nurture our minds and bodies and feel the benefit that a regular yoga practise can bring.

As always we begin each day with the practice or mouna – or silence.  You will be gently guided through some simple warm up stretches – testing your powers of observation as we work without verbal instruction for the first part of the session.

Our focus for these springtime sessions will be be ‘RE’

Refresh – Our mind and spirit

Renew – Our San Kalpas – our intentions

Relight – Our fire – focusing on Manipura Chakra

Rejuvenate – Creating space in the body

Revitalise – Through Breath – Pranayama

Replenish – Reducing stress and restoring equilibrium

Revive – Shifting stagnant energies

Revamp – Let’s try something new!

Repair – Enhancing circulation, reducing inflammation

Restore – Relaxing, finding stillness

Our sessions culminate with the celebration of the Spring Equinox on Friday 20th March

The sun will rise at 06.08 on this auspicious day and breakfast will be available as we celebrate the start of Spring.

If you are looking to get into a healthy morning routine, dust off the winter blues and be ready for Spring then these 45 minute ‘salute the sun’ sessions are for you!

The downside?  Well the ‘night owls’ might not appreciate the early start – but those of us who fall into the ‘lark’ category will love it!

When?

Mon 4th – Fri 8th March

What Time?

6.45 – 7.30 am

It will be first light around 6 am and sunrise will be around 6.50.  Rise with the sun as our ancestors did!

Cost?

FOC – however attendees will be invited to make a voluntary donation for charity

Who can attend?

Anyone – including beginners.  However this is a commitment to 5 straight days of yoga – so you have to attend all 5 days!  Come on – step out of your comfort zone!

Why?

My way of giving something back to The Universe and hopefully raising some money for charity.  (The group can decide which charity)

How do I book?

Simply email me and I’ll pop you on the list!  Limited to 6 places.

Nurturing Sounds at Body Nurture is delighted to announce our Celebration of Spring Gong Sound Bath with Sue Bailey

A celebration combining the majesty of the Full Worm Moon on Friday 18th March and the arrival of spring – the Spring Equinox on Sunday 20th March. The days and nights are becoming more balanced and warmth returns.  Birds are singing and everywhere is starting to burst forth with life

A time for celebration indeed!

Join me for a festival of awakening and balance which will include meditation, sound healing, chanting and energy work with Gong and Drum

Our session culminates in a Nurturing and Restoring Gong Bath.  Allow yourself to be bathed and caressed by healing sound snuggled in blankets and blissfully relaxed.  Like Spring itself – you too will be ready to burst forth full of renewed energy and vigour

Refreshments will be provided and there is nothing quite like getting our hands in some earth to ground us following the Gong Bath.  We will be making a little springtime gift for you to take home

Places will be limited to just 8 people – £25
