SATURDAY 30 March - The Hips Don?t Lie: A Yin Yoga and Mobility Workshop


Recommended Posts

Saturday 30 March 2-4pm

Yin and Mobility workshop

Retreat Yoga Studio

?25


Yin yoga is a passive form of stretching where the poses are held for between 3-5 minutes, so as to stretch the connective tissue around the muscle that over the years becomes tightly knitted together to create what we know as inflexibility and stiffness. Mobility is the practice of active flexibility, where the muscles are contracted so as to strengthen and increase the range of movement around a particular joint.


In this workshop, the two will come together to create an effective method of strengthening and lengthening the body, whilst quietening the mind. You will learn how to cultivate a greater range of mobility, range and flexibility in key areas of the body: all the muscles of the hips including the hamstrings. By using certain drills and sequencing to educate the nervous system on how to express this range of motion, you will learn how to build flexibility and mobility throughout the whole body. You'll also learn the role that gravity plays in stretching and a range of tactics to use gravity to our advantage - both in yoga and also mobility work.


This workshop will not only help to improve your range, active mobility, flexibility and strength, but it will also help alleviate back and hip pain, improve your posture, teach you how find freedom in these areas with yoga poses and exercises that you can take back home to your own mat. The workshop will end in blissful meditation as we soften into stillness.


ALL levels of practitioners are welcome, including beginners to yoga! Email me at [email protected] for any questions. All mats and props provided.

    • In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River. When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.
    • Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost. 
    • I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
