Leisure

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty’s glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this is if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

William Henry Davies

Whether you are new to yoga or like me have been practising for years, we are all really beginners in our exploration of this ancient practice.

This term we will be re-visiting some of the most well-known yoga postures (including downward facing dog), breathing and relaxation techniques.

The emphasis will be on working with sensations rather than the form of physical postures or desired outcomes.

It will be an opportunity to re-discover the true essence and subsequent benefits of mindful yoga.

So, be prepared for the possibility of experiencing your body, mind and breath in a whole new way!

Classes start back week commencing 11^th September 2012
