8th October 2016 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
My sessions include Kundalini Yoga through story-telling, songs, dance and movement not just the given yoga movements.
We sit and sing and bless our food and practice mindfulness eating by using silence and closing our eyes. There is always a lying down relaxation and sitting meditation with mantra or silence or both. For me yoga is a very spiritual practice, giving each child an opportunity to express themselves and to release what they may be holding in their bodies. It helps them to release anger and stress, develop emotional intelligence and their understanding and expression of who they truly are. Yoga is particularly helpful in addressing behavioural issues, stress or unmanageable temper tantrums.
After 10 years of practising many different schools of Yoga, Georgie trained as a Kundalini Yoga and Meditation Teacher and Healing Arts Therapy Practitioner in Cambodia in 2008.
All ages welcome. This event is at The Chapel, Market St, Abergavenny NP7 5SD.
