Aerozen Aerial Yoga
2019-04-11 18:10 - 20:10, 2019-04-04 18:10 - 20:10, 2019-03-28 17:10 - 19:10
AeroZen is a playful and accessible form of aerial yoga. It uses a loop of aerial silk – also called a yoga hammock or swing – to re-imagine or refine traditional yoga postures. Classes take the form of flowing movement series, working with breath through a fluid sequence of postures. The hammock is rigged with the loop between knee and hip height, allowing us to move through grounded poses (most of the body in contact with the floor) to flying, inverted and floating postures (the whole body supported by the fabric).
Aerial yoga has multiple benefits for mind and body:

allowing deeper/passive stretching by working with gravity, offering greater release with minimal tension and reduced joint strain;
increasing core and upper body strength;
encouraging neutral alignment, creating space in the body and decompressing the spine;
helping to build confidence, conquer fears, encourage curiosity and deepen relaxation.

Classes are 3:40-5.10pm and 5.10-7.40pm on Thursdays. Each class is limited to 8 spaces, and we are currently accepting expressions of interest. Booking is essential please email helen@smallworld.org.uk to do so.
No classes for the following dates
Thursday 14 February
Thursday 21st February

These gentle hatha yoga classes are suitable for all ages and abilities, especially those wanting to improve flexibility and mobility gently. They aim to help you recover strength and stamina, and improve balance, co-ordination and confidence. The emphasis is on correct alignment and posture which can help relieve low back and joint pain, and so is suitable even for those with arthritis. The classes also teach breathing and relaxation techniques to help you enjoy the stress-relieving benefits of a calmer, positive yogic outlook on life.
Blocks and belts available. Please bring your own yoga mat if possible. For exact dates please contact Lesley directly.
Tutor: Lesley Dever is a qualified British Wheel of Yoga teacher, with almost 30 years teaching experience. She has also worked in the traditions of B.K.S. Iyengar, and T.K.V. Desikachar (aYs, formerly viniyoga). She emphasises co-ordination of movement with yoga breathing, precision of movement practised with awareness, so as to develop mindfulness and avoid possible injury. Above all she encourages students to progress at the pace which is right for them as individuals. She has also carried out specialist training in Yoga for Healthy Lower Backs.
