Chakradance has been called the Little Sister of Yoga... 

Be guided through a beautiful, candlelit, barefoot, free style dance meditation to great music especially created for Chakradance. 

No set moves or steps, no experience required and no judgement - just freedom to dance like no one is watching. And no one will be, because in Chakradance eyes are closed (or looking down) so you become immersed in your own inner journey. 

This is a rich, beautiful (and different) experience with many benefits. Suitable for all and all are welcome.

Chakradance creates an uplifting and expansive sense of freedom. You are warmly invited to join me :) X

Did you know that unless you practice yoga or specific relaxation techniques you have probably never experienced true, deep relaxation?!Even in sleep we are often not deeply relaxed. You may know that deep relaxation reduces stress, but did you know it can strengthen your immune system, and reduce pain along with many other health benefits?

Beginning with yoga to prepare the body and mind and drawing on her work as a psychotherapist and stress consultant, Jan will guide you into blissful Deep Relaxation ~ the body’s natural healing state.

Yoga suitable for all levels including complete beginners.

Mats and light refreshments provided.

Deep Dynamic Yoga with Jan Chant

Saturday 28th February 2015

2pm - 5pm

At Shambhala Studios,

Maple Avenue, Leigh on Sea

£20

This practice is deep in every sense as we work progressively into the body with awareness of the breath and the effects on the mind and emotions.

The practice is dynamic in that it can be quite ‘strong’ but the qualities of both flow and stillness bring balance.

Deep Dynamic Yoga is a balanced practice developing both flexibility and strength in the upper and lower body, leading ultimately to the quiet depths of relaxation.

Modifications are offered but this is not suitable for beginners or people with current injuries

There will be a short break with refreshments provided.

Booking essential, please call the studio on 01702 472358
