NEW MONTHLY COURSE:PREPARING THE GROUND with Melanie Willsher and Pema Clark

  • Melanie Willsher Yoga 20 Shepheards Close, Aylsham Business Estate Aylsham, Norfolk, NR11 6SZ United Kingdom (map)

A yoga and meditation course, in the lineage of Vanda Scaravelli, for beginners and ongoing practitioners.

A five-day course (10:00 to 4:30 pm with a shared lunch) to develop and deepen into body feelings, into finding and touching the ground.

Course Programme 2022:

30TH APRIL - Whole body breathing and the natural rhythm of the spine. More space, more roots into the ground.

21ST MAY - How can we keep finding balance in our practice? Light attention, play, being creative, curious to rediscover our natural movements and breath.

18TH JUNE - Feeling connections as we deepen our practice. The vital core of the body, the spine, is alive and connected, opening and releasing.

2ND JULY - Quiet awareness, breath and freedom. Opening to unexpected sensations, being with the moment.

10TH SEPTEMBER - The heart of this intimate, personal process. Trusting not knowing. Listening, following and understanding the bodies’ own intelligence.

In our approach, the practice will invite us to uncover and awaken the yoga poses, to play with, enjoy and to let go of. There will be time to undo, question and find out what works for you as an ongoing exploration of yoga, that enables an awakening of the instinct of the body, to move and settle through the breath. Guidance on how to meditate with comfortable sitting , will be part of our sessions. Please bring your own mat and blanket.
