This week we will take the body into a deep state of calm to allow for healing to commence. The body is constantly renewing, but we are continually applying force and pressure to push it further. Come and tuck yourself safely in the arms of Santé Yoga and take time to allow your body and mind to rest and restore. This is where the magic happens. Here you will meet your inner guru, your healer, your light.

We will combine the beauty of Hatha Yoga, Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra to create a strong base for cleansing.

Hatha, which is the Yang or active aspect of the course, will help to strengthen your body and mind. The Sanskrit word हठ (haṭha) means “force”. It relates to a system of physical techniques consisting of the eight limbs of ashtanga yoga, and also consists of eight mudras which are symbolic gestures that honour this noble ancient practise. Hatha also adapts these aspects on the raising of kuṇḍalinī through energy channels and chakras. This part of the course is therefore physical as much as it is spiritual.

The Yin, or passive, aspect of the course will help to bring mobility and open your meridians. Yin is a slower paced style of yoga exercise to Hatha, which draws from principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine with asanas (postures). These postures are held for longer periods of time and produce gentle, nurturing effects on the body. If you are a beginner, don’t worry! These techniques are gentle on the body and can be held for very short periods of time. Through guidance from Danielle and Lisa, asanas will help to stimulate the subtle energy channels of the body, known as meridians in Chinese medicine and nadis in Hatha Yoga.

Yoga Nidra, (योग निद्रा) works through the Kosha and means yogic sleep. It is a place where your consciousness will move between waking and sleep, and is achieved through guided meditation. This is done in our safe, sacred space, and will lead you into your deepest self where you will bring forth the meditative state of consciousness known as samadhi. In Yoga Nidra, we invite you to completely relax your body and mind and welcome you into the deep velvet of your inner self.

The benefits of our yoga:

-Hatha Yoga reduce stress, promote energy flow, improve flexibility, builds muscle strength, improves balance, and increases blood flow.

-Yin Yoga is proven to improve your range of motion and flexibility. It decreases stress, thickens and strengthens ligaments, detoxifies, calms the nervous system, slows the mind down, balances prana and grounds us in the here and now.

-Yoga Nidra presents evidence that it helps with stress relief. An ancient technique from India, it has now spread worldwide and is also being applied by the US Army to assist soldiers to recover from post-traumatic stress disorder.

We encourage self-reflection, nourishing food choices, removal of technology and trust in your higher self. Throughout the week we will hold workshops to support you in finding a balance in the physical body and mind, with simple lifestyle adjustments and self-healing techniques.

The theme this week will be: Rose and Chocolate.

Rose helps to improve your metabolism, purifies the blood, eases menstruation, and helps to relieve depression and stress.

Dark chocolate is very nutritious. It is a powerful source of antioxidants, improves blood pressure, reduces the risk of heart disease, and improves brain function.

During this week, the moon state will be Waning crescent, which is ideal for tapping into self-wisdom and entry to the mystical.

As it is the start of spring, we will also be planting new seeds, and observing this with patience. We encourage you during this week to plant healthy seeds within you.
