Andrea's Mindful Yoga courses have been running successfully for many years at the Sanctuary. A typical session consists of a gentle sequence of classical yoga postures and short meditation practices, breathing exercises and a guided relaxation to finish. Andrea's offerings are drawing from a variety of Hatha yoga traditions, such as Ashtanga, Vinyasa Flow, Shadow Yoga and Forrest Yoga. Her approach is trauma-informed and neuro-diversity affirming. The practice is ever-evolving: flowing with the changes of the seasons of the year, and with the preferences and abilities of the group present. Aiming for a well-balanced, intelligently structured sequence of movements, stretches, twists and other challenges, the regular practice can help to develop strength, flexibility, awareness and balance for body, mind and spirit.
