Unseeing - Movement in the Spaces Within Us

A journey into yourself through vinyasa, sound and intuitive movement UNSEEING is an immersive journey into yourself through vinyasa, sound and intuitive movement. Beginning with a guided yoga practice, we'll move through a repeated, flowing sequence designed to build warmth, rhythm and awareness in the body. As the practice unfolds, the outside world gradually falls away. With the room softly lit and the soundtrack evolving around you, you'll be invited to soften your gaze, close your eyes if it feels right, and shift your attention away from how you look and towards how you feel. As the structure of the yoga gently dissolves, movement becomes your own. There is no choreography to follow and no right way to move — you might dance, stretch, sway, explore, or find stillness. The soundscape will guide the energy of the room from flowing movement into freeform exploration before gradually bringing you back towards stillness. UNSEEING is an invitation to let go of expectation, let the mind become quieter and reconnect with the intelligence of your body. What will happen: - The vinyasa yoga will be a normal yoga class with a variety of poses in sequence. The only difference will be the light levels will be dimmer than normal. Once we’ve learned the rhythm of the sequence, you'll be invited to soften or close your eyes if it feels comfortable. There is never any pressure to close your eyes, and you're welcome to open them whenever you need to orient yourself. - This is to allow you to focus on your breathing and the sensations of movement - The intuitive movement section will be semi-guided; it is chance to ignore our usual self-consciousness and nervousness and to flow with the music. This will build from a calm relaxation from the end of our yoga into a fluid movement meditation. As the energy of the music builds you can bring any movement into the room that feels right for the body, stretches, jumps, twirls. The music will slowly decrease in energy back to the calmness of our mats. What to Bring: - Yoga mats provided but please feel free to bring your own - Please bring some water as we will get quite energetic - Please bring a blanket with you About the facilitator: - Ed is a yoga teacher and lover of nature. He has been experimenting with movement for the last 2 years, including ecstatic dance as well as intuitive movement. He hosts yoga classes throughout the city having finished his first 200hr training in May 26.
