Yoga and Relaxation with Karen Wood

This class will start with a gentle warm up that brings our attention to our bodies ready to embrace a heart-opening practice to prepare for Spring. The class will include chest openers and energising balances that focus on our capacity to embrace change. The class is influenced by somatic practices, yoga asanas, flow yoga and movement patterns. We will end the class with a restorative practice to settle our nervous system and bring about calmness and readiness to enable us to step into Spring. Bring a yoga mat, blanket and cushions (whatever makes for comfort).  Blocks will be provided. This will be an open level class with options to work at different levels, depending on what your body needs. All bodies welcome.
