Theme: movement and stillness
Sunday 9 June 2024
Big Day In with Yoga Sunday June 9
About the Day
A day of yoga practice with a morning and evening class, and sessions throughout the day including a short talk, meditation, and yoga nidra.
The theme of the day is Movement and Stillness. When we first consider these two aspects of practice it may appear that they are opposites. On closer investigation, each one is an essential ingredient in developing both qualities. Dynamic practices, including asana and pranayama, create the platform for stillness to emerge. Finding stillness in movement has the potential to become profoundly meditative. Heightened awareness emerges in the dialogue between these two tendencies.
Practices suitable for all levels of experience.

Minimise device use, tidy up your yoga space.

It is helpful to manage time between sessions by:

a walk or a swim,
listening to inspirational music or talks,
