Strength ~ with softness ~ Workshop
Saturday 28th May 2024 09.45am to 12.30pm
Webheath Village Hall, Heathfield Road, Redditch, B97 5SQ
Price: £35
Description / Notes: Taking a look at strength from a yoga perspective ~ what it means in the body & how we can work to improve it.
Since the earliest written word on yoga, asana (postures) were practised to be "STHIRA", a quality associated with "strength, firmness, support, stability, correctness"...but also "SUKHA", a quality interpreted as "ease, softness, comfort, happiness". So how can we work with both, to improve & sustain our health & wellbeing? I hope you will be there to find out!
