Weekend Course Covevering The Taoist Practice of Dragon Dao Yins
Vinyasa is “flowing yoga”- moving with the breath, smooth transitions between asanas, repetitive mindful movements. Start your weekend with good energy, build some body strength, stretch your back, open through the hips and shoulders, balance, focus and relax, moving and holding yoga poses with the breath, practicing mindfulness. You get your self-care, exercises, meditation techniques – all in a one-hour yoga class. It’s your wellness package 🙌🏻

Gentle and slow paced yoga class - This class is ideal for those who are looking for a gentle mindful approach to yoga whether a beginner or more experienced. These classes will include gentle yoga postures, joint freeing movements, breathing and mindfulness practices as well as short guided meditations where you are encouraged to lie down (or sit in a chair if you wish) Whilst an ability to get up from and down to the floor is helpful, all the practices can also be done whilst sitting in a chair. The class will be structured around the needs of those who attend. Occasionally I may teach most of the class as chair yoga, where everyone is sat on a chair.

Right before Christmas, NYE and holidays will make some of us more lazy, I am happy to invite you to practice with me the first of the last two Yin Practice for this 2022. What is Yin Yoga? Yin Yoga is a Yoga style based on keeping positions (or "asanas") for an extended period of time, allowing us to reach and deepen the union between our body and our mind. This Sunday class will start at 12:15 and will last around 60 minutes. (Tara Studio: 25-31 Ironmonger Row, London EC1V 3QW) Hope to see you there! Namaste
Enjoy the art of life drawing and yoga during this artistic relaxation class in London for beginners. If like us, you find yourself having to choose between being healthy or creative, then this workshop is the perfect option for you. You'll enjoy a combination of relaxation, stretching, and the opportunity to artistically express yourself all at the same time. Not only that, but it's also something fun and different to enjoy with friends and like-minded people. Life drawing and yoga go hand in hand as they are both therapeutic and tranquil. As you focus on the movements and techniques, that both life drawing and yoga provide, you leave your troubles behind. In this combined workshop you will: - Relax and stretch in a calm creative environment, whilst fellow guests observe the interesting shapes yoga can provide. - Draw from observation of a live yoga model (your fellow guests) using yoga shapes to help you. It's all about shorter drawings and overcoming the 'fear of the blank page'! - Feel refreshed, creative, and be able to take home a series of beautiful drawings. No yoga or creative skills are needed, our friendly hosts will guide you step-by-step through the experience with demonstrations and examples and adapt to suit your personal needs. We will supply everything you need including a matt. But if you want to bring your own you can. Please wear comfortable clothes. How will it work? For half the class you will be a yogi and for the other half of the class you will be an artist Everyone in the class will be modelling and drawing each other. On arrival you can decide whether you want to be the yogi or the artist first but either way you are going to experience both. Yoga: We've designed simple yoga poses most people can achieve and are perfect for drawing. Yogi Annie will take you through a series of stretching exercises for 35mins. She will demonstrate each pose, give you plenty of rest between movements and adapt the pose to suit your needs. Life drawing: You’ll be taken on a journey of drawing exercises with artist Klara. Whilst drawing the yogi models, for 35mins we will explore different tools such as pencil or charcoal and drawing techniques such as continuous line and blind drawing. These contemporary drawing exercises are perfect for beginners and accomplished artists we are here to support you with examples and demonstrations but you'll have creative freedom so you can be as abstract or as detailed as you like. At the end of the class, we will do some constructive rest and exhibit our drawings and you’ll leave relaxed and stretched and feel creative & healthy and display your drawing at home. Supporting you on your journey: Artist Klara revived her love of interpreting the human form 5 years ago, through the respected Dulwich Art Group. Over the last year she has taken on her first couple of commissions, and enjoys being part of the lively Instagram artist community as @the.pomegranate.art Yogi Annie has been practicing yoga for 10yrs.
