Description
If you're looking to improve your balance, strength, and coordination through movement, this course will give you the skills you need to help you reach your goals.
While creating your own 'wellness toolkit', you'll learn techniques to support and improve symptoms of long-term health conditions, extreme tiredness, anxiety, insomnia, and shortness of breath through Yoga Nidra.
Yoga Nidra is a powerful practice which can help you to relax and rejuvenate. Through guided practice and discussions in a safe and supportive space, you'll learn to calm your mind and body, develop breath and body awareness, and learn simple breathing techniques to ease tension and improve your posture.
Gentle yoga has a wide range of well-documented benefits which can improve your heart health, bone strength, and ease joint pain. It's an effective way to build strength and resilience and improve your flexibility.
This Starter course is designed with beginners in mind, and you'll be supported throughout by an expert tutor. If you would like to sign up but have any concerns, please give us a call to check this course is right for you.
