RELAXATION

Sarah’s classes are very much relax and let go.  She encourages  students  to be aware of the ground beneath them, to listen to and work with their own bodies, to be mindful of their breath,  their senses and the movement their body is making.

Each class  begins with a few moments centring, becoming aware of the body and its contact with the ground, bringing the awareness to the present moment and the flow of the  breath.     

This  is usually followed by some limbering/warm up movements  and movements to stimulate the circulation, before progressing to some posture work  and winding down through soft, flowing movements, concentration or breathing techniques.

Breathing:

“In full exhalation we empty ourselves—not just of excessive carbon dioxide, but also of old tensions, concepts, attitudes, expectations and feelings.  In full inhalation, which arises by itself after a full exhalation, we renew ourselves—not just with fresh air (and oxygen) but also with fresh impressions of everything in and around us.”

“Free Your Breath, Free Your Life” - Dennis Lewis.

Relaxation / Meditation

Each class finishes with a  15 minute relaxation  or meditation This is very much a time of letting go.
