"Through the success of the last workshop Gemma Thistle and Sketch and I Helen Pure Yoga collaborated on, we feel the vibrant and creative energy between us to bring you more.
We are all part of Nature and what better way to spend the afternoon exploring how we Root into the earth to Rise into bigger and better versions of ourselves! Our downward energy is stability and support and our upward energy is our growth mindset to be creative and strong. We will touch on the Elements of Earth � and Space �
Through Yoga I will teach you in the first hour to become less cluttered in the mind to find the path of courage for growth. To move with integrity through the strength of your Skeletal, Muscular and Connective Facia Physiology. This will hopefully bring you an intention to spread your branches and reach for the skies.
The connection between the body and mind comes from the gateway of the Breath and Nervous System. We will be working on both through this hour.
The Yoga is suitable for beginners as well as experienced Yogis from the age of 16 and above. The only requirement is that your able to get up and down off the floor. All equipment will be provided although do bring your own mat if you have one.
As part of this afternoon, you will be guided by Gemma to create a beautiful 'human tree' painting onto a small canvas board using acrylic paint. The 1.5 hour session is suitable for absolute beginners as you are encouraged to immerse yourself into the creative process, taking it step by step, experiencing a fully mindful and relaxing journey....
All art materials will be provided, just bring along an open mind and a creative spirit x
Between these two creative events you will be served afternoon tea of a Falafel Salad Wrap and a Sweet Treat. (All vegan) Including a hot or cold drink.
We have chosen the artwork of a Human Tree as this encapsulates exactly what we work towards in our everyday life. The symbolic well known Pose of Yoga. Vrikshasana Tree �Pose
After the Ocean the Tree creates the next biggest amount of Oxygen that we breathe.
The roots are constantly drawing from the stability of the earth like we do through our feet and toes � These are our Moral and Self Disciplines
The trunk of the tree is where it finds the strength to be upright with both flexibility and strength. Just like our Spines and our Core Strength so we remain mobile.
The branches are the reaching limbs just like our arms, hands and fingers� and the crown of our head. Teaching us the sky is infinite, limitless, expansive and abundant. Each branch is a path to Enlightenment.
Very often the leaves drop in Autumn � which is a sign of letting go what no longer serves in order to stay rested in Winter. In Spring new buds show which is a sign of setting new intentions to find bloom in Summer�This is so relevant in life. Breathing in the same expansive space is both an honour and a privilege. Let’s celebrate this beauty through Yoga and Painting.��"
