Spiritual Practice (Sadhana) - Workshop for Women
Starts on Sunday, 26/03/2023Price 34.00 €
Description:
Sadhana means spiritual practice. This womens' sadhana is designed especially for the spiritual growth of women. We will be exploring what it means to live as cyclical beings in a world largely unfit to support our temperament and experiencing practices to help guide us back home to our natural state as women; wild, free, creative, intuitive and loving.
The foundation of this practice is about reconnecting with our wombs which in itself can offer profoundly healing effects, not only in easing the potential discomfort of menstruation, childbirth and menopause, but also setting you on the path to experience these times as potently and powerfully spiritual.
A multidimensional practice, we will make use of Asana, pranayama and meditation along with mantra, mudra, chant and the deep rest of Yoga Nidra. You will each also be given the opportunity to speak and to be heard by the other women alongside you, if you would like to.
Sadhana also means a commited, daily spiritual practice so we will spend time discussing how to incorporate the practices into our daily lives.
Women in all stages of life are welcome to take part. No previous yoga experience is required at all.
All that's needed is a keen curiousity to develop an embodied understanding and acceptance of your cyclical body as a key element toward reaching a state of yoga.
Make sure to bring warm clothes to wear during relaxation (a warm jumper and some thick socks) and you're welcome to bring a notebook and pen if you wish to take down notes of any of the practices/mantras.

My yoga practice began with attending classes in every style available, always changing to suit my mood or energy level. This included Shakti Yoga, a style of yoga centred around the cyclical experience of life in a female body, that sparked an ever deepening interest in me. It was then in 2019 during my first pregnancy that I felt a shift in the way I experienced my yoga practice and was drawn to learn as much as I could about pregnancy, childbirth and the menstrual cycle, discovering more incredible and wonderful things about the female body. Throughout this time it became apparent to me that I wanted to add my voice to this cause, and help other women to better understand, trust and love their bodies and everything that they bring to our experience in this world. My understanding of yoga is one of bringing ourselves back into balance and I believe the disempowerment and misunderstanding of the female body is the area of greatest imbalance in the world. That’s why I feel passionate to share yoga practices for women that help to cultivate the embodied sense of empowerment and self love that is needed for radical change for the better.
