***FULLY BOOKED***

Emma has significantly benefitted over the last twenty years from pranayama and meditation as imparted by various teachers, and would like to share this practice with you so that you may also benefit.

She wishes to honour the tradition of the teaching, where students sit with the teacher in person, and are alert to the teachings, so there is a commitment to each session from both parties.

In the sessions, Emma will touch briefly on the roots of pranayama and will explain a little about each breathing technique. Essentially though, besides moving and activating the energy within our bodies, pranayama provides an opportunity for focusing awareness and is said to be the bridge between the physical practices and the workings of the mind.

The physical benefits may include decreasing stress levels, improving quality of sleep, increasing mindfulness, supporting healthy digestion and elimination, lowering blood pressure, improving lung function and supporting nervous function.

However, pranayama becomes a tool towards meditation and increasing levels of stillness.

All are welcome from complete beginners to those more experienced. It is a friendly and informal affair, sitting on the floor with Emma or on a chair as you choose. There are no more than six in each group. The sessions will take place at Styx from 9.15-10.15am on the dates below. The cost is £75, with no refunds for missed classes.
