TibTibetan Healing Exercises (T.H.E.) combine slow moving Relaxation Yoga, pranayama and self-massage, visualisation and voice techniques. They derive from the traditions of Tibetan Medicine, Meditation and Yoga. T.H.E. aim to develop vitality and balance and can be used for self healing, deep relaxation and preparation for meditation. Maarten will present and explore how an understanding of the principles that underlie T.H.E. will help us in our individual yoga practice. The course will be practical with additional discussion and participants will be expected to practise Tibetan Healing Exercises and Yoga at home.
The course fee is £460 (including a booking deposit of £80). Three spread instalments of £130 can complete the balance. (An Early Bird reduction of £30 is possible – please send full deposit asap – the final instalment will then be £100). Cheques to D Brown. Send to Foresters House, Birdsall, Malton, North Yorkshire, Y017 9NS. I hope you can join us

Summer Yoga Workshop with Sophy Hoare

‘The Body Moves as One”
Saturday 3rd July 2010 l0am to 4pm
Venue: Bamford Institute, Bamford, Derbyshire (just outside Sheffield)
Cost £40 Limited Places
Sophy Hoare worked with Vanda Scaravelli for a number of years and since then has worked closely with Diane Long. Continuing the direction in which Vanda was moving, this is a revolutionary approach to yoga. This workshop will explore moving into the core of the body. Awakening the spine. The outer muscles relax so that the body moves as one. No stretching, pushing, pulling, tensing, locking or bracing. We do these things so much in our lives we don’t notice were doing them. This approach allows for a subtle change in awareness that deepens over time. Come & join us for a day of yoga that will allow time for practice & discussion.
Please contact Lesley Dike Idfunski@hotmall.com  or call 07932 780098.
