Yogabliss Asana Labs - Calming forward bends to relieve stress and tension

Welcome to Yogabliss Asana Labs! On Sun 23 November at 10am, join me for a workshop on calming forward bends. Each 2 hour workshop will break down common yoga asana postures with an exploration of the physical and energetic benefits, giving you a chance to work slowly and deeply into the pose in a light hearted way.

Forward bends lengthen and create space in the spine and improve mobility in the hips. As we move towards the quiet stillness of winter, the inward nature of these postures encourage introspection, taking stock and a deeper connection between body and mind.

Every workshop will include meditation, pranayama (breathwork), dynamic strength building hatha yoga postures as well as longer held yin postures, yoga philosophy, a long relaxation and chai and chat afterwards

Whether you’re a curious beginner to yoga, a more practiced yogi/ni wanting a refresh, or you just want more space for questions and assists, this workshop is for you. Refine your practice by expanding your understanding of common postures and improve your overall yoga experience.

The teacher - Kanwal’s teaching style is characterized by warmth, intuition and clear communication. Her classes are engaging and inclusive, with an emphasis on deep stretches, slow flows and mindful breathing. She encourages students to go beyond the physical postures and to delve into the transformative philosophy that underlies yoga. Kanwal was drawn to yoga in her 20s as a way of keeping a centre of gravity whilst doing a robust job working on women’s rights and social justice and eventually trained with Yogahaven in 2010 (hot, vinyasa) and more recently with Norman Blair (yin). Kanwal has had a regular meditation and qi gong practice since 2017. She currently teaches hatha and yin yoga styles in South London.
