Yoga

week beginning Monday 3rd June

Namaste all,

Yoga at Greasby Centre during June:

Monday at 11.15a.m.

3rd June, 10th June, 17th June, 24th June.

This month we are looking at movements of the spine including backbends, sidebands, forward bends and twists.

When we move the spine we stimulate all of our being from the nervous system to the movement of energy around the body.

 The main movements of the spine are:

flexion (forward bending), extension (lengthening, backhanding) , lateral flexion (side bending), and rotation (twists)

In yogic philosophy the spine is the energetic centre of the body, the energy centre through which our energetic life force, Prana, moves.  

Energy centres of the spine are called Chakras (pronounced “CHAH-krah,”)

From the base upwards the Chakras are:

ROOT CHAKRA - Muladhara - I AM - Stability, safety, grounded

SACRAL CHAKRA - Svadhisthana - I FEEL - creativity, comfort

SOLAR PLEXUS - Manipura - I DO - strength, realisation of creativity, determinations, power

HEAR CHAKRA - Anahata - I LOVE - acceptance, love, compassion, sincerity

THROAT CHAKRA - Vishuddu - I TALK/COMMUNICATE with self and others, inspiration, expressions, communication.

THIRD EYE CHAKRA - Ajna - I SEE - intuition, trust, meditation, connection

CROWN CHAKRA - Sahasrara - I UNDERSTAND - knowledge, consciousness, spirituality

We will explore the energy centres of the spine as move it in all directions and connect inwardly each week.

Looking forward to energising the spine, the mind and the spirit!

Shanti Om!
