   Laughter Workshop
The first laughter workshop was a fantastic success. To allow laughter to be your medicine you need to take regular doses - so we will be holding them regularly maybe bi-monthly or quarterly (workshop 10.30am - 11.30amish, drink and feedback to follow) £10 or two ticks of your card  Please book now.

Not as funny as it sounds.  Did you know that you can dye laughing?  Laughing for over 1/2 hour solid can be dangerous to your health. Though it is virtually impossible to continually laugh for that length of time. However, most people would agree that you can't beat a good laugh.  Laughing is definately good for you.  It's good for your psyche, your health and well-being and your emotions.  Laughter workshops are not about telling jokes but are about developing the skills you need to laugh at will and to encourage you to laugh at life and it's little ups and downs.

Rest assured you will not be laughing for the whole hour.Cost is £10 for the workshop or two ticks off a prepayment card and providing we get enough interest and we have a quiet day at the centre they will run monthly.

The benefits of laughter
Great for relieving stress - lowers the level of cortisol which is high when stressed, preventing the body from carrying out its normal functions.

 

Coming soon:

• Introduction to Colour Workshop

Please let us know if you are interested in either of these

Hatha workshop

Leader: Barry Todd
Cost: £10 (or 2 ticks on your card)
Simply a feast of yoga!
There will be time to anatomise some of the more common postures to help deepen practice.
We will look at alternative postures for development and counter poses for balance.
There will also be time for relaxation (savasana), breathing (pranayama),  and some mind quieting meditation.
For those who like more action there will also be an interlude of some flow yoga that can open up a whole new stimulating experience!

Yin Yoga
Date: 

Leader: Barry Todd
Cost: £10 - (or two units for card block payers)

An opportunity to deepen your yin yoga practice or add another yogic dimension to another style you may practice.
It's known as the quiet practice - with postures adopted for longer periods while you relax more and breath with sensitivity - this brings a more effective stretch especially of the soft connective tissue and can be beneficial for any yoga posture development.
Yin yoga is not a restorative style and we do intend to stress the body a little to improve efficiency but it is diverse enough to suit most anatomies and there are posture variations to help the less flexible or prepare you for more challening poses.
The style requires less energy so popular with those with low energy levels.
The day is mostly practicle with an early gentle flow leading to deeper practice in the afternoon and relaxation and meditation to close - orbiting energy in the next w'shop.

Comments from the last workshop:

"I really enjoyed learning how colour can affect different parts of the body."

"I liked the colour readings using colour cards but it was all great."

"I thought it was going to tell me what clothes I should wear to suit me.   It was so much more than that.   I liked finding out how colour can affect moods and feelings and how changing the colour can change your mood and feeling."

"I liked interacting with the others in the group and finding out about the energy of different colours."

"I was fascinated to learn some of the interesting facts about what colour is."

100% of participants thought it was enjoyable and good value for money.  

It was at least as good and in some cases better that anticipated.

Everybody loved the colourful food in the buffet lunch.
