Imbolc – Dance your yoga

Sunday Feb 4th 2 -5 pm

St Briavels Assembly Rooms (GL15 6TG)

with Ali Rose and Sarah Mclellan

In our next Shakti session we mark the threshold of Imbolc, the transition into the new growth phase of the year.. That which has been sleeping and dreaming is re-awakening , being called to dance Life back into the earth…. bringing with her the hopes and dreams that have seeded in her heart as her deepest longing…

We will begin our session with Yoga Nidra, a liminal state of deep rest between waking and dreaming where we open our hearts to hear its inner whisper, our sankalpa, our deepest hearts desire which forms our intention not only for our dance but for our year ahead …

Following the lead of the body throughout, our practice transitions into yoga inspired movement, then as the backdrop of music grows the beats will call us to follow our flow into free movement, to dance and let go …

Shakti sessions are women only, a time for exploring through nourishing movement practices the cycles and rhythms which connect women and earth – re awakening an embodied wisdom of how our own cyclical wisdom weaves us into the fabric of life.

This is a relaxed 3 hour session with a break for tea and delicious nibbles (contributions very welcome!) and chat. In order to make this work available to all women, it is offered on a donations basis. Booking essential.

Bring a yoga mat, blanket, and cushion for your .nest’.

Autumn Shakti session Sunday October 15th

St Briavels Assembly Rooms GL15 6TG

2 – 5 pm with Ali Rose and Sarah Mcllelan

Cyclical wisdom teaches us that the energy of life herself (shakti) flows through an arising (Spring), unfolding (Summer) and must inevitably be followed by a dissolving …..the energy of Autumn… which invites us to let go.

Within the framework of the menstruality wisdom teachings, the season of autumn is the pre-menstrual phase of our cycle, and of peri-menospause. It is no longer possible to ‘go quietly and sweetly’ during these times, life is calling us to challenge that which does not honour and respect the Feminine.

‘How can I honour this spirit that disturbs me?’
How about with a fusion of yoga and dance?

Following the lead of the body throughout, our practice begins with yoga inspired movement, then as the backdrop of music grows the beats will call you to follow your flow into free movement, to dance and let go.
