Winter Warming Flows: Poetry & Yoga

Try an experimental yoga flow class that combines poetry with movement to bring light to the dark days.

“I tell my secret? No indeed, not I; 

Perhaps some day, who knows? 

But not today; it froze, and blows and snows, 

And you’re too curious: fie!” 

 Christina Rosetti

Yoga instructor Polly Anna Steiner will guide us through a yoga flow in response to Christina Rosetti's poem on winter. Mats, blocks and blankets will be supplied but feel free to bring your own too.

‘Flow continuously through a creative sequence to find a powerful connection between body and mind.'

• We begin with guided meditation to find a sense of grounding, followed by gentle movements to awaken the body, and then flowing into more dynamic movement patterns led by the breath.  

• Repeating the sequence a few times over to allow for a moving meditation to unfold. Finding our strength, flexibility and balance through both the physical and energetic body. 

• We close with guided relaxation to gather and digest the benefits of the practice.
