Hatha Yoga – Unity

with Ady Griffiths

This course will include simple and effective yoga postures, including classical forms and contemporary explorations. It will be suitable both for beginners and people with a few years’ experience, and helpful for those starting a yoga practice, or for inspiring an existing one!

We will be moving fluidly and easily through postures, improving flexibility and freedom of movement, whilst creating a deep sense of stillness, sensitivity and strength. Stimulating standing and seated postures will all be explored alongside relaxing and restorative postures. We will encourage an intuitive, caring awareness of body and mind, enhanced by breath awareness and the use of imagination through meditation and visualization practices – creating a sense of peace and release.

Ady Griffiths is a qualified Unity Hatha Yoga teacher, Shiatsu practitioner and Artist/Performer. He has practised Yoga and Meditation for 17 years. Inspired by Unity, Iyengar and Scaravelli Yoga, he creates a safe, fresh, fun, accessible and explorative approach.

Astanga Yoga All Levels

with Kevin Donovan (Moksaraja)

Astanga Yoga These courses are suitable for complete beginners and for those with some experience. In this Astanga based style the postures are linked together in order to create an aesthetically pleasing breath-based flow. This dynamic aspect soon confers increased strength and stamina, together with enhanced flexibility, mobility, and sense of grace.

Kevin Donovan came to yoga with an established background in martial arts and meditation practice. He was fortunate enough to be trained in yoga by very senior and distinguished teachers: Mira and Silva Mehyta in the Iyengar system and John Scott in Astanga Vinyasa. Apart from his regular Brighton-based classes, he also teaches and mentors on the Life Centre’s teacher training programme accredited by
both the British Wheel of Yoga and Yoga Alliance. His classes have a meditative, still quality, with a dry, ironic humour.

Hatha Yoga and Meditation

with Cara Bowen

This ten-week course will focus on developing calm and clarity from the practice of yoga and meditation. We will practice asana (yoga postures) with an awareness of the breath and our connection to the ground to enable us to release tension and move more freely. We will also explore pranayama (breathing exercises), mudras (hand gestures) and sound to help bring steadiness and quiet to the mind in preparation for meditation.

Cara Bowen has been teaching yoga in Brighton since 2000 and has completed the British Wheel of Yoga teacher’s diploma with Peter Blackaby. Over the years, her interest in the more meditative aspects of yoga has increased, and she has recently completed the British Wheel’s meditation module with Sarah Ryan and Gill Lloyd.

Tao Yin Yoga

with Paz Perlman

Tao Yin, also known as ‘Chinese yoga’, is an ancient form of exercise, practiced in Taoist monasteries since 500 BC. It is the foundation of martial arts like Tai Chi and Chi Gung and is designed to loosen up the body and stretch the joints, tendons and muscles in a careful and gentle way. It is meditative and relaxing, yet gives tremendous strength and flexibility. The postures are mostly performed in a sitting or lying position.

The name Tao Yin literally means ‘sending energy’ and combines mind, breathing and body work which is designed to clear blockages in the different meridians, causing the energy to flow in a healing way and boosting the immune system.

Paz Perlman is an experienced and established teacher, having started her career as a dance instructor. Besides Tao Yin, she has also been teaching Tai Chi and Chi Gung for the past 16 years in Holland, Germany and now the UK.
