MEDITATION

Equanimity, joy, love and compassion* The four brahmaviharas will be briefly introduced, and the session will be devoted to cultivating these states through meditation and relational practices.

A deep relaxation practice will be facilitated in which we will explore the equanimous acceptance of our inner states.

In this workshop we will start with a mindfulness space, which will be followed by vipassana meditation based on anapanasati, the fundamental technique of Buddhist meditation, based on the natural following of the breath, the attention to the breath is guided as an initial support to immerse ourselves in the state of presence. In a simple and natural way this workshop will invite us to be in contemplation, to calm and harmonise our body, mind and energy.

A nourishing Yin Yoga class that includes gentle breathing exercises and guided meditation.

Yin Yoga helps to relax and de-stress while working the deeper connective tissues, improving flexibility and supporting joint and ligament health.

In each posture, we will explore the body, finding the perfect space to settle into stillness and release stiffness or stagnation without forcing.

Calming breath work (Pranayama) will balance the nervous system, and a short Shavasana meditation will leave you relaxed and ready for a restful sleep.

Rooted in traditional Indian and Chinese principles, Yin Yoga works with Prana (Chi) energy and the channels (Nadis/Meridians) that carry it through the body.

By holding the postures longer, we release stagnant energy, which allows for physical and emotional healing.

This gentle, meditative practice is ideal for beginners and advanced students alike.
