Healing the Mental Body - Restorative Healing Yoga (4 Week Series)

Join Sarah, the Long Haul Yogi in weekly gentle restorative yoga specifically designed for those with chronic health conditions, such as Long Covid, POTS, ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia, thyroid disorders etc. All of the classes are either seated or lying down, and designed to calm the nervous system and mind so that the body can enter the healing 'rest and digest' state - aka the parasympathetic nervous system. Sarah has successfully taught over 400 yoga students with Long Covid and other Chronic Conditions over the past year and is now turning her popular Zoom classes into carefully curated blocks of themed lessons. Each class is carefully paced to support exertion intolerance with optional suggestions, but please always listen carefully to your body.

In this block of classes, we will be exploring restorative yoga asanas, either seated or lying down, through the theme of the Mental Body - your innate power. This builds on the previous classes - on the Physical Body via systems, Subtle Energy and the Emotional Body.

This group of classes will explore the four parts of the mind as outlined by Sadhguru: Buddhi (intellect), Manas (memory), Ahankara (sense of identity) and Chitta (cosmic intelligence). Through learning to calm down the 'monkey mind', we can harness the true power and wisdom. of the mind You do not need to have any prior knowledge of yoga or yogic interpretations of the Mental Body in order to enjoy this course!

Each class will feature approximately 30-40 minutes of gentle stretching and movement, alongside 30 minutes of guided meditation relaxations, and at least 10 minutes at the end of each class for class members to have a community chat. Suitable for complete beginners through to other long haul yogis!

These sessions are conducted over Zoom. Unable to attend a session? All class attendees will receive replay recordings to keep post-session, forever!
