YOGA
Laughter Yoga
This 1 hour innovative group workshop gives you an opportunity for fun and laughter. A combination of gentle exercises, Yogic breathing and raucous laughter is based on scientific research. The body can't tell the difference between real laughter and pretend laughter - so you get the benefit even if you laugh for no reason! There's no better way to feel great than a really good belly laugh!
Facilitated by Linda Innes, Life Coach, NLP Trainer & Master Practitioner.

Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra or Conscious Deep Sleep
‘In yoga nidra you leave the waking state, go through the dreaming state, yet remain fully awake.’ Swami Jnaneshvara Bharati
Facilitator: Cath Hanlon Cost: £8 per individual class or £39 for block of six classes
Thursday mornings 10-11.15am
The practise of yoga nidra can induce incredible calmness, quietness and clarity. It is a state of deep conscious sleep - during which you may discover almost complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation.
You are gently guided to relax every part of your body and induce a state of deep relaxation, similar to the slow, calm and tranquil state experienced prior to sleep. Breathing and thinking gradually slow allowing you to reach a state of peace and deep repose.
During a yoga nidra class you will be asked to wear comfortable clothes, lie on a yoga mat, wrapped in warm blankets, and follow the spoken instructions of your yoga teacher.
The practise of yoga nidra involves a series of specific stages which guide the participant into a state of deep relaxation. The stages are:
- Preliminary relaxation of the body
- Rotation of body awareness throughout the whole body
- Conscious breathing
- Feeling and sensations to bring relaxation at an emotional level
- Mental relaxation through visualisation
- A return to full awareness
The Benefits of yoga nidra:
- Encourages stress release
- Reduce feelings of anxiety and tension
- Promotes mental and physical wellbeing
- Can help to lower blood pressure
One hour of Yoga Nidra can be as restful as four hours good sleep.
