Having a strong core is often referred to as having a 'snug corset' wrapping itself right around you, protecting you from knees to shoulders. It is also essential for sports and day to day activities to reduce the impact on our joints and bones, and it makes yoga practice easier and safer.

Yoga Nidra is a blissful type of meditation practice that invites deep relaxation and physical restoration, and provides an opportunity for profound internal enquiry and transformation.

This workshop will introduce students to some of the main traditions of Yoga in a fun and engaging way. I hope to help students see Yoga beyond its health benefits and to present Yoga in its multiplicity of traditions, philosophies, and religious contexts.
