MOVEMENT, STILLNESS AND SELF-INQUIRY

Dear Ones,

I see these strange times as a beautiful opportunity to go inward, especially as outward movement is limited. MindRest on Zoom is a time of introspection, movement and sweet sweet rest at the end of our weekends.

During the month of January, we will invite the new year and embrace the unknown. How can we embrace the unknown as this new cycle begins, what are we called to give birth to in the New Year and how can we be “nourishing mothers” of what is to come through us?

Join me every Sunday at 5pm London from the comfort of your home  for a sound-infused journey of yoga, meditative self-inquiry and deeply restful yoga nidra.

Register in advance for this zoom meeting here:

Suggested contribution: £10 - feel free to pay anything you like or nothing at all (I know this is a financially difficult time for many of us). If you would like to contribute, use paypal link: paypal.me/theseedyoga.

At the beginning of each month, you can purchase a monthly pass for £30 and use it for all yoga and MindRest classes (a total of 8) + some on-demand videos working on particular parts of our body.

WHAT TO EXPECT?

MOVE: We will start with a well-rounded yoga practice to get into our bodies and shift from doing to being mode. The aim of this practice is to help us embody the different parts of the inquiry.

INQUIRE: Every week, there will be a different suggestion for a meditative self-inquiry. It helps us investigate different parts of ourselves. Sometimes, this process is pleasant and others - not so pleasant, but invariably rewarding.

REST: In a longer than usual guided relaxation called yoga nidra, we will let our conscious minds rest and open to experience all that is.

What do you need for this online practice?

A yoga mat (if you have one but not essential), a pen and paper, a blanket and anything else that might support your seat and make you feel extra comfortable.

What is MindRest? (in normal times)

MindRest is a series of sound-infused evenings of yoga, mindfulness and deep relaxation, born out of my heart’s desire to collaborate with others and celebrate their wisdom in service of inner peace. Together, we weave different talents, ours and yours, to create an oasis of stillness, nourishment and deep rest from our busy lives and minds.

Each workshop will explore a different inquiry into our nature, following a familiar structure: MOVE your body through soulful and accessible yoga, STILL your mind through sound bath, mindfulness and guided relaxation, INQUIRE deeply through free-flow journalling and let true insight arise from this stillness.

MindRest is not about teaching you anything. In fact, we have nothing to teach you and all knowledge can be forgotten here. We create a soothing cocoon of deep and healing relaxation so that you can uncover your own inner wisdom - a 'MindRest' where the body can open, the conscious mind can let go and insights can arise from within. You are your own compassionate teacher.

Love,

The Seed & some very talented flowers
