Yoga is a journey of getting to know yourself, it starts as a weekly class and then infuses into our daily life and helps us navigate the ups and downs of life.

The ingredients needed for a yoga practise are;

Our body – where it is right now, maybe achy or stiff, this is our starting point to move, stretch and strengthen.

Our mind – cultivating our awareness of how we move our body and our thoughts and reactions.

Our breath – our gauge on how we are emotionally and physically and is a tool to calm and centre us and to focus on.

An openness to moving beyond our comfort zone

We mix these all up together and get a deeper understanding of ourselves and tools to improve our health and wellbeing on all levels.

In Bridget’s classes you will experience Asana – functional body movements, Pranayama – breathing practices and Yoga Nidra – a delicious deep relaxation practice all infused with her love of yogic philosophy, nature and poetry.

You don’t have to wear any special clothing, your favorite comfy stretchy clothes are perfect. Please bring your own mat (if you have one) a cushion and blanket.

EveryBODY is welcome

Yoga Nidra is known as sleepless sleep, it is accessible to everyone and is usually done lying down or sitting, whatever is the most comfortable position for you. This ancient technique takes the practitioner into a state of conscious sleep, where the body relaxes but the mind stays awake and alert if possible!  I use verbal instructions to guide your focus on your breath and body to increase awareness, we explore and refresh neural pathways making us whole again and we re-educate our body and mind on how to relax so that we are able to face the challenges life brings with calmness and strength.

If we can allow ourselves to relax deeply we access layers of the mind that contain solutions to our ailments, problems and worries, we tune into to our own wisdom and healing, looking within instead of outside for answers and peace.

There are many benefits of Yoga Nidra, it helps reduce stress and its effects, improves sleep quality, enhances mental clarity, lessen anxiety and PSTD, boosts our immune system and may help with management of pain and illness. It is suitable for all.

I have chosen the Vowchurch & Turnastone Memorial Hall for its cosiness and tranquillity, the fire will bring warmth to the candlelit hall. Please bring all you need for your comfort, something soft and supportive to lie on, cushions for under heads and knees and blankets to cover you. There are a couple of sofas that can be used or if you prefer to sit.
