Outline Yoga Mental Health & Kindness Workshop

The workshop begins with postures to strengthen the spine, helping to bring a sense of openness and ease for the upper chest and spine. The second Yoga practice incorporates steady grounding seated movements, stabilising the hips and shoulders. Following this is a nourishing breathing practice which will help to reduce anxiety and stress. Finishing with a guided loving kindness meditation practice and deep relaxation. The workshop is suitable for all levels, including beginners.

This workshop promotes Mental Health Awareness Week which will take place from 18-24 May 2020. The theme is kindness “Kindness is defined by doing something towards yourself and others, motivated by genuine desire to make a positive difference. Kindness is also defined as the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. Feelings of kindness to ourselves and others helps with mental health”.
