Triyoga, Primrose Hill (map)

Booking
(through Triyoga) Please click here.
This course
for beginners and continuing students will explore the benefits of yoga
from
the point of view of the runner/athlete. Over
the 6 weeks we will explore the
wonderful repertoire of postures
and breathing exercises available to us – some traditional, some more
contemporary and creative -- with the
focus on lengthening and strengthening the hamstrings, hips, , spine,
calves,
ankles and feet for overall well being, balance, focus and positive
body
awareness.
Working
slowly at first, sometimes with propers or partners, the focus will be
on alignment, understanding the benefits of
postures from an anatomical position and exploring the breath-mind-body
connection. We’ll then build more
dynamic sequences, including powerful sun salutations for strength and
stamina
and incorporate Pilates exercises for core strength and pelvic
stability – a
key factor in maintaining health movement patterns in running.
Postures
will be discussed in relation to running and other sports, and
questions will
be answered.
A great way
to supplement your training and sort out traditional athletic niggles
and learn
how to prevent them, in a relaxed, non-competitive and supportive
environment.

CLASS DESCRIPTION
Yoga Slow
A relaxed, reflective class, offering the opportunity to move slowly
towards stillness, calming the mind and releasing tension in the
body. A chance to learn about physical alignment, use of breath,
inner focus and the benefits of the postures. Suitable for both
beginners and experienced students.
Yoga Flow
An envigorating dynamic class, structured around a sequence of fluid,
flowing poses to awaken and channel your inner energy, revitalize the
body and mind. Typically we will practice sun salutions, a series

balancing, seated and inverted postures (optional shoulder stands and
head stands) followed by deep relaxion. Suitable for more
experienced students and those in good general health.
