Transitions and Transformations | A Slow Flow Yoga and Personal Development Workshop

With Emily Thomas

Are you in a period of transition , stress or approaching burnout in your life?

Is there some disconnection or lack of self awareness at present?

This experiential workshop with Emily will be unlike any workshop you have ever attended, and will combine Slow Flow Yoga, Yin, Meditation and Breathwork to reconnect with your own intuition, desires and core values.

You’ll explore the relationship between your internal life and your physical yoga practice.

Emily will also draw upon Personal Development Coaching and Somatic Psychotherapy to deepen your relationship with your practice, and more specifically, yourself. 

Somatic Psychotherapy is focused upon the principle that thought, emotion and bodily experience are inextricably linked (bodymind), and that change can be brought about in one by mindfully accessing the other.

THIS WORKSHOP WILL:

• Help you to (re)discover your core values through personal development work
• Explain how pranayama and the physical asanas touch the emotional body and the nervous system.
• You’ll walk away with physical and breathing exercises to help you self regulate, and an easily accessible meditation practice that you can commit to in as little as 6minutes per day.

THIS WORKSHOP IS FOR THOSE WHO:

• Want to discover more connection with themselves, on and off the mat.
• Are looking for ways to manage tension, stress or burnout, when the situational factors (e.g. job, family situation etc) are things they cannot change.
• Would like to meditate more, or introduce more mindfulness into their lives, but don’t know where to start.

This is a workshop for all levels of physical ability. Just bring an open mind.

About Emily:

Emily has been teaching yoga for 13 years, and has taught in studio, school and corporate settings, but one of her favourite ways to teach is one on one in private sessions, as a more holistic approach is often required. Often the student needs to connect to some awareness within rather than without. Emily grew up in a scientifically focused household, with her mother a clinical psychologist, and her father a GP. This environment, and Emily’s other career as an actor has meant that the practice of yoga was as much about connecting to her emotional life as her body. Her years of training in SomaChi Yoga with Lianne Metcalfe brought together her love of creativity, connection, movement, psychology and the wisdom of Buddhist teachings.

Having lived with ADHD, and a history of depression, anxiety and insomnia, (generally and postnatally) Emily has lived experience of how yoga can have enormous therapeutic impact upon the mind and emotions, and for this reason, is passionate about her classes nurturing the emotional and mental wellbeing of her students as much as the physical.
