Sunday 18 May / 13 Jul / 14 Sept / 23 Nov, 10am-12pm
Deepen your practice through four Yogabliss workshops
Join Kanwal for a series of 4 workshops on Sunday mornings to unpack and deep dive into energising twists, heart-opening backbends, centring balances and calming forward bends. Each 2-hour workshop will break down common yoga asana postures with an exploration of the physical and energetic benefits, giving you a chance to work slowly and deeply into the pose in a light-hearted way. Every workshop will include meditation, pranayama (breathwork), dynamic strength-building hatha yoga postures as well as longer-held yin postures, yoga philosophy, a long relaxation and chai and chat afterwards
Whether you’re a curious beginner to yoga, a more practised yogi/ni wanting a refresher, or just wanting more space for questions and assistance, this workshop is for you. Refine your practice by expanding your understanding of common postures and improving your overall yoga experience.
Join for a workshop or 2 or even the full course!
Energising Twists for Back Health
Sunday 18 May, 10am-12pm, ZenYoga Camberwell
Twists help us to rotate the spine and stretch the muscles of the back restoring the spine’s natural range of motion. Through a series of twists, we will lengthen the torso along the spine, allowing our energy to flow more easily giving us an energy boost and spring in our step while we safely decompress the vertebrae.
Centring balances to enhance focus and resilience
Sunday 13 July, 10am-12pm, ZenYoga Camberwell
Balancing postures improves core strength, and tone connective tissue and builds stability in the joints. Through a combination of floor and standing balances, we will ground towards the earth and lengthen towards the summer sun, improving spatial awareness, as well as our mental and emotional focus and steadiness.
Heart Opening Backbends for improved breath
Sunday 14 September, 10am-12pm, ZenYoga Camberwell
Backbends open the chest and shoulders promoting better posture, circulation and respiratory function, particularly important given our tendency to slouch over devices. As well as strengthening the spine, improving flexibility and mobility, backbends improve focus, relieve restlessness and open our heart to new possibilities as we move towards the cooler winds of autumn.
Calming forward bends to relieve stress and tension
Sunday 23 November, 10am-12pm, ZenYoga Camberwell
Forward bends lengthen and create space in the spine and improve mobility in the hips. As we move towards the quiet stillness of winter, the inward nature of these postures encourages introspection, taking stock and a deeper connection between body and mind.
About the teacher
Kanwal’s teaching style is characterized by warmth, intuition and clear communication. Her classes are engaging and inclusive, with an emphasis on deep stretches, slow flows and mindful breathing. She encourages students to go beyond the physical postures and to delve into the transformative philosophy that underlies yoga. Kanwal was drawn to yoga in her 20s as a way of keeping a centre of gravity whilst doing a robust job working on women’s rights and social justice and eventually trained with Yoghaven in 2010 (hot, vinyasa) and more recently with Norman Blair (yin). Kanwal has had a regular meditation and qi gong practice since 2017. She currently teaches hatha and yin yoga styles in South London.
