Yoga and Mindfulness Workshops:

The following live workshops are taking place at the Bristol Folk House:

Mindful Connection with Nature

In this session, we will explore what mindfulness is as well as some mindfulness-based practices that help us connect with nature. We will discuss what nature connection brings to us and its benefits on our health and wellbeing. We will explore our connection to nature through our different senses and we will therefore connect more fully and openly with the world around us to feel grounded, present and appreciate the beauty of the natural world.

Yoga for Healthy Backs

Most people will suffer from stiff shoulders and neck that can cause pain and discomfort at some point in their life, whether you spend a lot of your time sat at a desk or standing on your feet, have poor posture or are recovering after a mild injury. During this workshop we will work to release the neck and shoulder girdle with forward bends and twists, support the lower back by strengthening core muscles to free up chest and shoulders with gentle back bends. Yoga postures for all, beginners welcome, although if you are suffering from a serious back problem and find it difficult to lie or sit on the floor, please contact us first.

Time: 10.00 - 12.30

Date: 8th February 2025

Cost: £15.20 - £19

Yummy Yin Workshop

This Yummy Yin Workshop will support you to explore different shapes, find a comfortable edge and use props to rest into that shape. Yin Yoga is a newer style of yoga that uses props to allow the muscles to release and let go, therefore enabling us to work more deeply and gently into the connective tissue and fascia layers of the body. This can bring about release within the body and mind as we rest and focus on the breath in each of the different shapes. Yin yoga works with the energy meridians to bring more balanced flow within the body.

We all generally tend to lead more yang life styles than involve busyness and doing throughout the majority of the day/week. So Yin Yoga supports balance and an opportunity for the nervous system to reset itself.

Time: 1.30pm - 3.30pm
