Workshop 1: Deep Winter’s Rest – A Deeply Relaxing Yin & Restorative Yoga Experience with Anna Curnock
Sat 28th Dec 2024 | 3.00-5.30pm
Oceanflow Yoga Studio
(Online Live Stream & Recording options also available)
£30 including tea & treats!
Winter is a time of hibernation and deep rest. It is the time of year where if you look into the natural world you will see more stillness. Animals save resources by hibernating, trees halt their growth and drop their leaves and energy is conserved. As we are nature, this time is the ideal time for us to enjoy some deep rest and restoration. Drop everything and indulge in nourishing rest. We will be doing gentle meditation, yoga nidra, a restorative yin practice, breath work and lots of time laying around allowing our bodies and minds to reset and daydream. Rest is so important to our health, our ability to heal, our creativity and our sense of vitality. Enjoy a deeply restorative yoga experience designed to reset the nervous system, calm and clear the mind, gently move the body. This session will include:
Relaxing Breathwork
Guided Meditation
Yin and Restorative Asana
Yoga Nidra
Tea and seasonal treats (In-Person only)
Workshop 2: INTRO TO FORREST YOGA – BREATH & MOVEMENT WORKSHOP with Nicki Lobsang
Monday 30th December 2024 | 3-5pm
£25 In-studio only at Oceanflow Yoga
Forrest Yoga, created by Anna Forrest, is a unique blend of traditional yoga and innovative poses designed to support healing and transformation. This practice focuses on four core pillars: breath, integrity, strength, and spirit. In this 2 hour workshop, we’ll explore how mindful breathing can invigorate and cleanse the body, while holding poses can develop more self-awareness and curiosity. Classes often focus on building core and body strength through dynamic poses, helping to build resilience and develop both inner and outer fortitude. Forrest Yoga invites us to challenge limiting beliefs and cultivate a deeper connection to ourselves. This practice offers tools to not only build strength and clarity on the mat but also carry these qualities into everyday life.
Workshop 3: Womb Sadhana Workshop – Winters Womb & Rest with Lara Claringbould
Monday 30th December | 4-6pm
Oceanflow Yoga Hot Studio (Room will held a nurturing warm temperature!)
£25 (JUST 8 SPACES ARE AVAILABLE IN THE STUDIO SO BE SURE TO BOOK ASAP IF INTERESTED!)
It’s said that the 40 days between Christmas eve (24th December) and Imbolc (1st February) are potent and poignant days for resting, in the deepest darkest part of the year. 40 is also a significant and sacred number shamanically, and was the number of days mothers in ancient times were advised to rest and be held by the village as her she tended her babe, as well as the number of days Moses wandered in the desert. This potent liminal time of the year is fertile with potential, and Lara will share her wisdom on why this is not the best time to be setting new years resolutions – but instead to lean into rest and visioning for what is to come.
Join Lara for an immersion into the womb at the end of December, where she will explore with you what rest really means… and how, as modern women often lost in a blur of activity, we can use the wisdom of our hearts, our cycle, as well as the cycle of the moon to cultivate a life more in harmony with our natural energy cycles.
This is an experiential workshop happening inside Oceanflow’s Hot Yoga room, where we will create a warm womb like space for the afternoons unravelling, with sheepskins and bolsters and blankets. A cosy container for gentle embodiment, self enquiry, voice medicine (through tone and song) and yoni nidra; an opportunity to cosy up in the warmth, create a nest and drop into the medicine of you.
This is a gentle movement class, mainly floor based and is suitable for most abilities. (note you will need to be able to sit on the floor). Importantly you don’t need a womb or a monthly cycle to be part of this gathering of women and ALL AGES are welcome (16-80+). Please get in touch if you are unsure or require more information at lara@moonfulwisdom.co.uk. A special gift to take home too.
Please bring with you: Yoga mat, journal & pen, water.
All workshops can be booked HERE or through our Oceanflow Yoga App!
