Winter Stillness Sunday 26th November 2023, 10.30am to 1.30pm Calderdale Yoga Centre, Hebden Bridge
This session will give you the time to slow down and find some breathing space as the festive season approaches. Whilst the earth slumbers in the depth of winter, we will follow nature's lead by turning our energy inward, finding stillness and silence deep within. We will be practicing restorative yoga, gently moving between each posture to ease stress and tension from the body and I will weave stories and lullabies throughout to comfort frayed nerves. There will also be time for a long deep nourishing nidra practice - a soothing balm before you leave to enjoy the rest of your Sunday.

Instruments of the Soul: Digestive Organs and the Pelvis Date: tbc Venue: tbc

This workshop will explore both the functional and energetic/soulful aspects of the digestive organs and pelvis.
We will explore the integrity of the pelvis by both strengthening the tissues and softening the grip of tension so that the pelvis can do what it is designed to do: support (nourish, contain) and let go (cleanse, detox). The pelvis is considered to be the abode of prana shakti (creative life force). We will explore what this actually is, what it feels like and see if we can access its healing potential. The gift of the pelvis to anchor us when we feel uprooted, will also be a focus.
We will also connect to the functional and energetic counterparts of the entire digestive system. We will support each digestive organ’s functional role whilst feeling into their deeper soul-purpose. Through the practice of postures, movements, the breath, meditation, mantra, relaxation and storytelling we will cleanse and nourish the digestive system, increase digestive fire and access the healing power of the digestive system and gut brain.
£50 for the day, non refundable. Please email me on gillianshippey@hotmail.com (or through this site) to reserve a space and I will send you bank details.
