Breathe, Relax and Meditate: Sunday Yoga Workshop Series with Chitra

What it is all about?

Breathe, Relax, Meditate is a nourishing session that invites you to slow down and connect deeply with yourself. In this class, you will be guided through an experimental exploration of classic yoga breathing techniques (pranayama) to calm and focus the mind, followed by a deeply restorative guided relaxation to release tension from the body. The practice will conclude with meditation, allowing you to cultivate inner stillness and clarity. This is a wonderful opportunity to unwind, centre yourself, and experience the profound benefits of these traditional practices in a supportive and welcoming environment. Suitable for all levels, including complete beginners.

This workshop is accessible to everybody and open to beginners and seasoned Yoga practitioners of all abilities.

Note: Please confirm with your doctor that it is safe for you to attend a yoga workshop before enrolling.
