Yoga Mondays

Elastic band

Monday the beginning of the week. I after work Monday's usually finds me slouched in front of the TV. Not anymore , I love yoga so I am tailoring in yoga into my Monday evenings

Morning Run

8am is the time for my 5K run. Bleary eyed I strap my Nike + sports band on trainer up and throw myself out of the front door. First 5K of the week and a chance tow kick start my metabolism. My route starts in Catford , through Ladywell then onto Brockley , Crofton Park then through to Stanstead road back into Catford

Evening Yoga

Yoga is my only way of releasing my mind.
It gives me 2 hours to focus on relaxing. I don't tend to relax easily so yoga is my release.
I practice yoga at two venues. One in Greenwich , the other Waterloo's Morley College.
I do yoga for thee following reasons:-

• To help meditate
• To help combat stress via breathing
• To help ward of various illnesses by promoting deep breathing which activate the lymph node
• To increase muscle strength.

Update

This evening we had a new yoga teacher. Will betaken by her for the next three weeks.
Her style was Ashtanga.
Boy did I sweat today for the second time since my jog this morning. Full core muscles and digestive systems were exercised. Can't wait for next week.
I arrived early today for the first time after finding a new parking spot free after 5 pm in central West Greenwich woohoo.

Yoga classes this week

 

Yin Yoga

Autumn Term

Suitable for beginners with limited fitness and flexibility as well as experienced yogis.

Yin yoga is a deep, still, mindful practice, offering the opportunity to rest in simple, accessible postures for an extended period of time (up to five minutes). This enables a meditative awareness and a long, slow extension of the body, unwinding compacted fascia and unknotting and releasing muscles. The emphasis is on looking inwards and fostering awareness of what's happening in the whole person through the body.

This is a relaxing and revitalising form of yoga, offering a chance to stretch, breathe, settle your attention in your body, and take time to focus on yourself.

Wear warm layers, as your temperature is likely to drop as you move into stillness.

Type of class: Drop-in class

Cost: £7 / Greenwich Card £6.50 / Concession £6 per class

Dates: 08 September – 08 December 2014

Time: Monday 6:20 - 7:50PM
