Workshops
Body Harmony runs workshops throughout the year, these are a fantastic way to try something new and commit to a health and healing program. At the same time we also delve deeper into the philosophy and background of the practices and how we can integrate the practices into our day to day life. See below for descriptions of Esoteric Yoga and Connective Tissue Release presented in our workshops.
Half Day Esoteric Yoga Workshop
|
Esoteric Yoga sessions present what Yoga as ‘Union’ means in a very simple and practical way. Coming to complete acceptance of our physical bodies just as they are allows a very honest and tender form of movement and a powerfully healing experience of stillness.
This connection supports us to: ✧ Clear our minds, deeply rest and improve quality of sleep. ✧ Be guided by our bodies to make healthier choices. ✧ Hold a quality of stillness amidst the busy-ness of daily life. ✧ Change feeling stressed and exhausted to feeling vital and well. |
Esoteric Yoga does not involve Yoga postures or exercise. Learning how to remain comfortable and alert while seated and laying down on a mat offers a very powerful, practice that can support every aspect of our busy day to day lives .

* What is Connective Tissue Release?
Connective Tissue Release is a way of moving in a chair, laying down and seated on a mat, which allows us to become sensitive and appreciative of the connective tissue system that runs throughout our bodies.
Connective Tissue wraps around muscles (as fascia) but also forms tendons and ligaments, as well as covering the outer surfaces of bones, tendons and blood vessels and deeper into organs and our central nervous system (spine and brain) in its role as protection and support for all those vital structures.
For this reason, exploring movement that allows connective tissue to release, expand and become more fluid and responsive is very important. Otherwise, abrupt or forceful movement causes the connective tissue to contract, loose its fluidity and harden, making our bodies feel tense and achy, affecting our physiological function, increases stress and reduces feelings of wellbeing.
The quality of movement that we simply and easily choose in Connective Tissue Release classes feels amazingly tender as the connective tissue responds and lets go in the deeper tissue. It also gives superficial muscles a workout and balances flexibility and strength around joints.
Connective Tissue Release and Esoteric Yoga together explore a ‘fitness’ that comes from listening to our bodies. We learn to choose movement from a deeper place of sensitivity and responsiveness to our bodies true capacity to heal, restore vitality and build exceptional levels of wellbeing.
