Yoga: Reset and Rebalance with Emma Garland

Lunch, snacks and unlimited tea and coffee included.

Exploring the Body to Help Reset

As we age, aches and pains can start to creep up on us. Often we'll put it down to old age and carry on! But most aches and tightness/tension within the body is muscular, which means you can do something about it. We'll explore our bodies through movement in this dedicated yoga workshop session, allowing us to bring a greater awareness to listening to when our bodies speak to us. This is a day of knowledge and learning, and also a restful, restorative day allowing you to reconnect with yourself and within nature.

As your guide, Emma Garland AKA The Good Food Yogi, puts it:

“This workshop session is suitable for everyone, including beginners; with guided instructions and techniques to help you switch on some of those smaller, underused muscles within the body and start to ease some of the muscular pain you may experience, particularly around those tighter areas of the body, like neck and shoulders, back, hamstrings, hips and belly.

We will work with the breath and provide a deeper feeling of engagement and resistance within your body to build heat and strength in the body without necessarily moving fast.

Time spent outdoors in nature can be a great way to boost the mind and body, as well as the nervous and immune system. Experiencing natural sunlight can also boost your mood and productivity!

Join us for a day away in the magical space that is The Walled Garden School, surrounded by nature in ancient woodland, this space will take you a world away from it all.”

All equipment, food and drink throughout the day is provided.

Timings

9:45am: Meet, greet, walk and breathe through The Walled Garden.

In this restorative day for yourself, and maybe friends or loved ones, we’ll start the day with a hot drink before heading off for a walk around the beautiful Walled Garden. We’ll take this walk up to the Old Castle, where we’ll enjoy some various breathwork techniques, designed to warm us up from the outside in; whilst enjoying the breathtaking rural views from the top of the hill. We’ll talk positively about how nature helps us reconnect.

11:30am: Move, breathe and flow.

We’ll head back to roll out our yoga mats indoors in the new Conservatory at The Walled Garden School whilst still feeling connected with the natural world. We’ll enjoy flowing movement to expand our bodies and hearts. When we expand and open our chest, understand our bodies and the impact of tension held around typically tighter areas; here we can fully feel our inner power within. Our posture is greatly improved and we can allow ourselves to feel the finer muscles within our bodies that may need to be awakened. We’ll then sink into some relaxation before heading for a well deserved lunch.

1pm: Refuel

Lunch from the award-winning Hawarden Estate Farm Shop is included. We’ll round up our restorative day with a hearty, warming lunch to fuel our bodies and minds and chat with like-minded new friends.

2pm: Time to say goodbye

All equipment, food and drink throughout the day is provided.
