As part of National Iyengar Yoga day, we are delighted to be hosting an event lead by one of the UK's senior Iyengar teachers Sallie Sullivan & our very own Lindsay Barchan.
This FREE event will launch with a 30-minute talk by Sallie as she shares her deep knowledge of Patanjali & postural yoga; the Definition of yoga, the causes of pain, & the Eight Limbs of Yoga.
It will then follow with a 45-minute class lead by Lindsay, aimed at anyone who is keen to practice & experience the very special Iyengar method of teaching on this national day.
The session will include an emphasis on alignment & technique, and will also include the teaching of extension & awareness of breathing, to feel & embody each of the asana's. She will also incorporate a sequence of sun salutations to warm the body up, before moving into some standing poses, with gentle forward bends & twists, before finishing off with some relaxation. Inversions may be offered to students with experience who wish to practise inversions.
The aim of this event is to give you a deeper insight into the roots of this incredible practice & to have the opportunity to experience a taster class taught by Lindsay who teaches at Soulfit on Wednesday mornings.
