Sometimes referred to as the hara, dantien or the deep navel centre, refining the position of the navel centre gives us the ability to both release and contain the energy that moves through the pelvis. Having a strong yet mobile core not only has a powerful physical effect, it also affects us energetically, emotionally and spiritually. In this intensive we will explore the principle of both energetic and structural core support. A key feature of this intensive will be learning to fluidly release and then activate the support of the “primary” inner core muscles, the psoas, a complex stabilizing muscle that lies parallel to the lower spine and acts as a functional bridge between the vertebral column and the pelvis and legs. We will then learn how to engage the “secondary” inner core muscles; the subtle yet powerful pelvic diaphragm, the deeper girding layers of the abdominal muscles and the stabilizing muscles of the lower back. These all serve to protect and support the sacroiliac joint, lower back and spine. To support a fuller understanding of the complex relationship between inner core muscles Donna will present two new anatomical Powerpoint presentations. Participants will also receive digital hand-outs with many of the exercises.

Restorative Yoga sessions Next Restorative Yoga sessions: Most of us lead busy lives and live with chronic stress which is detrimental to our health and well being, resulting in many symptoms including muscular pain and tension, digestive disorders, headaches, immune system weakness, and sleep disturbance. Restorative yoga shifts us out of the stress response into the relaxation response, nourishing and healing the body and quieting the mind. In a restorative yoga pose the body is fully supported by bolsters and blankets in an asana or yoga posture so that little physical effort is needed to maintain the position. Restorative postures are generally held for anywhere between 3 and 15 minutes or more, allowing the benefits of the pose to fully permeate the body, mind, and heart. Bookings are essential as space is limited. |
