Gentle Yoga – led by Veronica Lafferty. This a Free event – please purchase a ticket for the recording.

I came to yoga in 1991 when I was fortunate to discover the Bury and the Yoga for Health Foundation.

I lived in Bedford at the time,  and the Bury,  located in the village of Ickwell was only a fifteen minute drive from my home.  The people, buildings and grounds became a sanctuary for me, and continues to be so to this day.

Through the YFHF I did my foundation TT in 1995,  and embracing the Foundation’s philosophy of gentle yoga for all I continue to apply it in each of my classes to this day.  Progressing from this TT,  I was able to study further with other like minded teachers both at home and abroad  opening up a universe of yoga practice to me.  

Enjoying time with other yogis and sharing this subject with them is where we learn and grow.  Yoga is definitely for sharing with everyone.

The intention of this practice from the physical view point is to bring the experience of sequencing  sensitive fluid movements through the body, creating a tension free spine,  and releasing generally other joints and muscles, developing the sensation of softness, comfort and relaxation wherever possible. 

Simple yogic breathing will be integrated throughout the practice and used to enhance the  fluid movement, displaying  how the breath and the body are unquestionably linked together.

Relaxation becomes a natural process of this practice and will be included at the beginning, during and at the end. 

This will be suitable for anyone who enjoys a slow paced practice.  There are no expectations as we will work according to our comfort level in the moment.

NOTE: The pace will be slow in order to allow time for experiential awareness. You will need your usual kit plus a firm chair, blocks, cushions. If possible, be near a wall or door (not essential).
