Yoga and Breathwork Class

New Yoga and Breathwork Class will commence on Wednesday, 15 February at 1.00 pm in B1080, and it will kick off at 1.05 sharp. Spaces will be limited so get there on time. This will be a chair-based session so no need to change clothes or bring a Yoga mat. The class will be led by Blaithin Sweeney.

A mid-week Practice that ensures you maintain physical mobility and mental focus during long days of extended seating time. Regular practice will relieve common aches and pains and reduce stress levels.

This 45min session includes a 35min breathwork and movement practice followed by a 10min meditation if you have the time to stay on:-)  

With modern life as it is there can be a pressure to work efficiently, multi-task and manage all around. The additional expectation to be positive, capable and include self-care in your daily routine can be perceived as added pressure. A mid-week stress-release session can provide the perfect solution and here’s why…

Science has proven that work related stress does get trapped in the body causing achiness, stiff joints, headaches and blood pressure issues etc. The good news is that science is also starting to reveal that regular stress relieving practices such as yoga, meditation and breathwork can release the stress that builds up.  Gentle and effective movement practices often proving to be more beneficial than exertive exercise.  

Start: These mid-week sessions start with 5mins of guided breathwork that delivers calm into the nervous system and transitions the entire body into a state that is ready and able to release tension.  

Practice: The practice is 30mins of simple but effective joint and muscle movements that enhance and increase mobility. Muscle tension is released and overall hydration of the bodies tissues is improved.

Integration: A 10 min meditation at the end is to allow for integration. During this time the altered flow of communication through the nervous system supports your body, mind and energy systems to absorb the benefits of the breathwork and movement practices.

No previous yoga or breathwork experience required.  These are seated sessions, yoga mat NOT required.
