This workshop is a chance to explore how moving in the lateral plane and spirals, profoundly releases your spine and opens up new possibilities in movement.For those who have 3 months yoga experience with Christine or equivalent.

- Core Mobility – Feldenkrais Workshop with Anne Robertson – Sunday 13 April 2-5pm The importance of a strong and stable ‘core’ has come to dominate the fitness world. However there is some confusion about what these terms mean, and they are sometimes interpreted ways which limit spinal mobility, impede breathing and discourage movement from the centre. This workshop will explore how moving in and from the centre makes our limbs more efficient and gives us grace as well as power. In Bodywise yoga studio, cost £45, Early bird rate £40 (£35 concessions). Please book with Anne annerobbo18@gmail.com tel: 07951728862. More information about what Feldenkrais is – Feldenkrais Method

What kind of Yoga?
We teach dynamic flow sequences harmonising breath and movement which build strength, vitality and fluidity. This is balanced by a quiet yin style yoga practice which cultivates relaxation and stillness. We limit class size to optimise personal attention. In a yoga class you will learn about the core movement principles that underpin the practice of yoga and experience how these develop strength in the body.
