Yoga for all at Petworth Park

The focus of this session will be on developing an understanding of the Chakras or energy centres in the body. You will be taught a range of yoga postures and meditation to help release and work to heal any imbalance, aiding flexibility, strength and overall body awareness. The warm up that is included will enable you to mobilise your joints. Special breathing techniques will be taught to focus on improving your breathing, whilst the mind Yoga philosophy will be an integral part of the session, adding to the overall understanding of the practice of Yoga. All yoga classes finish with a period of relaxation, to integrate the undoing in the body of the postures and this naturally leads to preparing the mind for meditation.

Weather permitting, the teaching of yoga lends itself to being enjoyed outside in an open area. It is so nice to be able to meditate outside to feel the warmth of the sun, hear the rustling of the trees, the sounds of the birds and just be a part of nature.

Please note that this event will run outside, within the stunning grounds of Petworth Park. Therefore, in order to gain the most from this experience, please read the information below.
