Start: 14th June 2013 at 6:00pm
End: 16th June 2013 at 2:00pm
Tutor: Mike Cragg
Indulge yourself with a weekend of Yoga, Pilates and meditation: Yoga to realign your mind and body, Pilates to strengthen and meditation to soothe and heal the spirit. The course is open to all, from complete beginners to the more advanced including teachers. All sessions will be highly interactive and there will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions or explore areas of interest to students. There will be a Yoga session in the morning after breakfast, perhaps using props and equipment. Pilates will take place in the late afternoon and we will look at particular subjects or areas of the body. Each day will finish with a meditation. On Saturday afternoon there will be a guided walk in the local area.
