Yoga for Emotional Healing-Depression and Anxiety
Thursday 05 June 2008 -
Thursday 24 July 2008 |
Yoga for anxiety and depression focuses on the joint relationship between mind and body in the role of well-being. The course combines yoga postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama) and restorative properties of mindful attention to offer a wholistic approach to the problem of mental health meeting both the physiological and mental aspects. The physical side of yoga can offer immediate short term relief from suffering and the mental aspect offers the potential for deep transformation that leads to long term relief.
Each class is an investigation into both body and mind offering a chance to explore perceptions and experience the body in a gentle and dynamic environment. Students learn how to be with uncomfortable sessions in a safe setting, while also learning how to create joy and contentment.
At the close of each session there is a small discussion and an opportunity to reflect on how to refocus the mind, and how to be face difficulty.
Times:6.15pm - 8.15pm

Love and Loyalty in Stepfamilies
Sunday 29 June 2008 |
More and more people are living in stepfamilies. Those who do often find themselves dealing with strong feelings and complicated situations they didn't anticipate. There may be a fear that addressing the issues will make things worse, however we have found that with time, work and goodwill they can often be resolved. At best stepfamilies provid the opportunity to develop understanding of ourselves and others, to encompass and accept difference and increase our capacity to love.
This workshop is open to parents, stepparents and people who have grown up in stepfamily siutations. No previous group experience is necessary. The content of the ay will be designed around the concerns and issues that participants bring. Sharing in th egroup will form an important part of our exploration.
Times:10.00am - 5.30pm
