An essential aspect of rejuvenating the body involves deeply relaxing the senses: the skin, mouth, nostrils, ears, eyes, and brain. Often, our senses are unconsciously gripped by tension, causing the body to contract and become tense as well.

Openness and relaxation can be achieved through gentle and welcoming visualisations and soft listening, enabling sensations to unfold naturally.

By allowing objects to come to our senses, we can cultivate a greater connection to pure perception, free from mental interference. When the senses are truly liberated, the entire body engages in the acts of seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting, and smelling spontaneously and effortlessly.

In this practical and explorative fun one-day workshop, we will learn about anatomical ideas and concepts of elasticity and bio tensegrity, revisit ‘stretching’ with pandiculation, and experience freedom, space and the power of mind-body connection with somatic and mindful movements.

We will utilise various movement techniques like somatic yoga, Feldenkrais, Mindful yoga, and Qigong.

We will explore and understand a new body map through spontaneous and intuitive movements and the complete freedom of movement to fully grasp this concept.

Breathwork and mental health specialist Laurent Roure will lead a 2.5-hour workshop at Yogahaven Clapham focusing on stress and anxiety.

Discover practical techniques to regulate your nervous system and cultivate inner calm daily. This session involves simple somatic (body), breathwork, and meditative practices designed for easy integration into your routine. The workshop includes practical methods such as gentle movement, breath regulation, and supportive meditation techniques.
