Spring Cleanse Yoga Flow Workshop

Sunday, March 8, 2020

9:00 AM 11:30 AM

Spring! Inspired by nature- in classical Chinese five elements it is the 'time of the wood' – the time of birth, movement, strength and flexibility.

The session focuses on ways to 'spring clean' the body and mind; eliminating toxins and increasing vitality. We'll find new pathways to 'release' and 'let go' as we explore the 7 chakras and major meridians; especially the Liver and Gallbladder (which represent Spring). Poses will be adapted to for all different levels but expect to be playfully challenged to your edge.
Working with our senses we'll work our way to stiller, quieter postures finding deep nourishment and rejuvenation for mind and body. This is the necessary space and perspective to create Sankalpa (intentions). Planting positive seeds for change.
This workshop will include upbeat Yoga Flow, Detoxing kriyas, Meditation, Pranayama and lusciously deep relaxation to help us spring into SPRING!
£22 per workshop
£80 (for all 4 seasonal workshops)

Warm welcome all levels!

Saturday 18 April: 3-6pm: Spring cleanse with Ayurveda and Yoga £25
Spring is an ideal time, after the sluggish slower energy of the cold dark winter months, to cleanse and detox the body.
Our discussion will centre around why this is such a good time to detox, as well as Ayurvedic methods of cleansing, including neti, and the recommended Ayurvedic daily routine that helps the body and mind to maintain a sense of equilibruin, health and wellness. Information will also be given on how to do a 'kitchari cleanse'.
We will then practice cleansing breathing (kriyas), gentle detoxing postures and focusing meditation to prepare us for the more vibrant Spring and Summer ahead.
There will be an opportunity to purchase a spring cleanse pack, containing ingredients for a kitchari cleanse, digestive tea, neti pot, tongue scraper and Ayurvedic herbs.

Psoas Release Party!

The psoas is the most important muscle in the body acting as the main hip flexor and the engine of walking.

A free and happy psoas allows the body to move with peak efficiency and little strain.

Issues with the psoas can lead to any number of problems throughout your body- both physical and emotional.

Lower back pain and other joint discomfort as well as disturbances to the nervous system can be linked to the psoas.

This in not a yoga class.

We spend the afternoon awakening, learning about and release the iliopsoas muscle group and understanding its core function within the body.

Here's what people say about Jonathan & CoreWalking...

"Jonathan came in and got me walking upright again and straight... I have him to thank for the fact that I am walking right now." Frank

"Before I started it, I could hardly walk, my legs were so stiff and sore. And now I can keep up with my daughters and my grandchildren with ease." Nicola

"I had terrible hip pain, groin pain, limping when I walked... now I can walk 2 to 3 hours with no pain. No limping. I wake up in the morning pain free." Robert

"Jonathan is a refreshingly wry teacher whose classes are both precise and exploratory. His bottomless curiosity about the human form is infectious. I always learn new ways to engage my body, and I've watched countless students transform their practice under his guidance."

Emily Kramer

"Jonathan FitzGordon turned my yoga life around. Jonathan was instrumental in guiding me through an understanding of my injuries and giving me the vocabulary of movement and an experiential understanding of my body's anatomy and its tendencies. Through Jonathan's classes, I've been able to heal my injuries and change my pattern of movement so I don't keep re-injuring myself."

Rhonda Keyser

"I have been in chronic back pain for 10 years! I am very active, yoga teacher, always weight trained. But in the past 3 years I have been not been able to do the things I live to do or at least not at the same capacity. I have been following your CoreWalking plan now for about 3 weeks and already I notice so much change in my body and my pain level has decreased and has changed in duration etc. I am only expecting it to get better... Just wanted to say thanks!"

Sonya Lake

"I was at the end of my rope. Daily pain from a tight psoas and piriformis which gave me sciatica and numbness. I searched and spent thousands of dollars until I stumbled across CoreWalking, and although I have a degree for posture therapy, I didn't really understand my body. Thanks to Jonathan I learned and healed myself! I know that so many people have been and can be helped through this revolutionary system!

Beyond grateful to indebted!"

Trent Aaron

"Jonathan Fitzgordon's yoga classes are a refreshing break from the usual vinyasa class which, for me, can often be repetitive and hard on my body. Jonathan's unique style, leads to well thought out, workshop-like sessions that are a perfect balance of thoughtful alignment and heat creating movement. The poses are familiar but each class feels creative in it's sequencing, keeping my attention throughout the hour. The teaching is confident, relaxed and non-judgmental.

I have injuries in my wrist, hip and back so I am always hesitant to take new classes. Jonathan took care to address all of my trouble spots as I moved through the postures, checking in and offering alternatives when needed. Because of this, I find his classes to be therapeutic and not irritating for any of my musculoskeletal issues.

Most importantly, it's fun! And I always feels great afterward."

Yoga Flow Summer 'enlivening and transforming' Workshop with Gina

Join Gina for a playful energising yoga workshop celebrating the rituals of the element of Fire! We'll explore techniques to transform and ignite our personal power.
In traditional Chinese medicine the heart meridians are associated with Summer, when the element of fire comes into its own.

All those little seeds we planted in spring have reached bountiful heights. Abundance is everywhere but perhaps we're just that little bit too busy to appreciate it all. Take some time to bring everything back together. Rekindle your fire! Recalibrate ready to find our radiance, passion and determination. Like a roaring flame the fire element has the ability to transform.

We'll smile, we'll laugh as we connect and open the heart centre. We'll use Yoga Flow, enlivening Kriyas, Pranayama, Meditation and Mantra to awaken the fire energy inside. Working deep into the core we'll create sparks of energy, passion. Releasing the busy over thinking mind and give over to sensations of joy, bliss!

AUTUMN 'letting go' Yoga Flow Workshop

Sunday, September 27, 2020
9:00 AM 11:30 AM
After the busy summer let's take a moment to
find space. Recalibrate. Connect. Flowing yoga, breath, alignment and energy
work which will play on the classical Chinese Element of Metal to bring us into
the here and now.

Our focus will be on the lungs and large intestine meridians, exploring the
circulation of vital energy through body, mind and spirit. Helping the body to
naturally get rid of waste: clearing, releasing, decluttering.

We'll explore that last burst of autumn colour and energy in nature and the
sense of peace it brings.

The session will begin with dynamic flowing postures, poses will be adapted to
for all different levels but expect to be playfully challenged to your edge.

Working with our senses we'll find our way to stiller, quieter postures where
we'll be able to find deep nourishment and rejuvenation for mind and body.

Let's avoid feeling of overwhelm this year
and use this precious time to re-charge our Jing. Time and space to explore
with no demands. Power up our kidneys with lots of fun techniques from yoga and
inspirational Eastern traditions.

We are mostly water so we'll play with the water element. We can use dynamic flowing yoga to free us from the build-up of daily tension. We'll then work on rejuvenating vitality as our inward practises begin to take root. We'll smile and soften with gravity into deeper, longer holds and more restorative poses to increase our reserves of energy and bring a shine to our eyes.
