Yoga for Stress Relief with Tracey

12.30-1.45pm

An introductory workshop for anyone who feels stressed, anxious or overwhelmed and/or finds it hard to “switch off” racing thoughts or to “relax” the body.

We will begin with a brief explanation of the science behind stress and our body’s reaction to this (in the short and longer term).

Followed by soothing practices which allow us to begin to “over ride” the body’s stress responses by slowing down an overactive nervous system and encouraging us to move into the “rest/digest tend/mend” state of relaxation.

These will include: gentle and explorative yoga asana, soothing breathwork and a guided relaxation – suitable for all levels of experience.

Please note that attendees will be asked to complete a short health questionnaire before attendance to ensure suitability for the practices and to comply with my British Wheel of Yoga insurance. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to get in touch
