A weekend workshop with Garth Mclean

We are delighted to announce that Garth Mclean is returning to teach a weekend workshop 26-28 June. Full details are on our news page. We all have a nervous system. Sometimes we may face a challenge that is nervous system related. In this workshop we will seek to soothe and balance the nervous and immune systems to calm any chaos and restore a sense of balance, physically and emotionally, according to the individual's needs and ability. Health is simply a by-product of proper yoga practice. Through iconic alignment of asana (physical postures) and pranayama (breath work) we can fortify stability and mobility to keep mobile and endure what may not be able to be cured. Garth offers his years of experience steeped in compassionate exploration and incorporating a creative, adaptive approach to encourage, elevate and empower students of all levels of ability with and without physical challenges to go beyond any perceived limitations of the body and mind. Garth’s goal is to help provide all practitioners with tangible, practical tools to further enhance your health. The weekend will be of special interest for persons with MS, Parkinson's, Long Covid, neurological and movement challenges, and teachers of yoga. Adaptations offered according to the individual’s ability and condition. As the weekend is cumulative, attending the entire weekend is strongly recommended.
