              2ND NOVEMBER 2019


Life is a series of challenges from big life changes to those days when you feel you have it all together then suddenly everything hits you at once.

Those demands have been likened to surfing a wave and surfing requires FOCUS - catching the right wave, LEARNING - how to get up on that board, BALANCE- staying up and flowing with the wave, ADAPTABILITY - getting back on and trying again each time you fall off. 

In this workshop we will explore how our yoga practice can help us navigate between the ups and downs of life’s demands. Our practice will focus on techniques to access, stimulate and tone the Wanderer within us - The Vagus Nerve. The Vagus is a communication super highway which travels though us and relays a nonstop stream of information between the body and the brain and is key to physical and psychological  resilience. It is the primary driving force of the parasympathetic nervous system, our rest and digest system. A flexible, as well as a strong, vagal response is a necessary component in our body’s ability to relax faster and recover from stressful situations.

Come and join me on the mat. Learn how to home in on your ability to use instinctive responses to consciously access your inner strength, capabilities and self belief - to flow, grow and adapt - to surf the wave of life 🙏
