We are delighted that Mike Young Yoga & Alexander Technique Hereford will be back at The Retreat next Friday 3rd May. ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE AND YOGA SMALL GROUP CLASSES AND INDIVIDUAL LESSONS. The Alexander Technique class will be at 5 - 6.30 pm and individual lessons in Yoga and Alexander Technique throughout the day from 10 am.
Mike, "There are definite physical benefits through learning the Alexander Technique, for example, people typically report less muscular aches and joi...nt pain. A client told me how she actually enjoys getting out of a chair nowadays whereas before it was a real struggle.
Another client related how he was able to dig a hole for a fence post without experiencing any ill effects in his back the following day.
There is often a sense of joy and satisfaction at being able to use the body in these simple everyday ways.
However, there is also something deeper going on too. It’s more akin to what we might talk about in Yoga. As we quieten the body/mind in Yoga there is the possibility of being more receptive to a deeper intelligence, what we might call the ‘small, still voice within’ that is often associated with a sense of peacefulness".
To find out more and to book a space in a group or individual lesson please message Mike directly or go to www.beinginmovement.co.uk www.yogaskies.co.uk
