Neuro yoga classes with Alice
What is neuro yoga?
Neuro yoga blends the ancient wisdom of yoga postures and breathing techniques with the latest developments in applied neuroscience in an intriguing marriage of the best embodied knowledge from both east and west. It is movement, it is breath and it is work on the nervous system for not only physical health but vitally for brain health too.
Classes with Alice
Alice offers regular adult classes, an easy yoga class and one-to-one sessions both in person and online. In her classes Alice celebrates the role of play as she invites us to explore together the edges of what we can do with our bodies and mind. Set within a super accessible framework, Alice presents a series of ever-evolving pat-the-head-and-rub-the-tummy challenges that gives us all a way to experiment, however we find ourselves at that particular time, on that particular day. Her sessions are like a grounding baseline of yoga postures and breathing with a soaring melody of neuroscience informed practices weaving its way gently through each thought and every move.
Alice’s compassion and creativity from years of practice as an art therapist make for fun and joyful sessions that have a clear structure but always novelty too. We are in our bodies and minds all the time but through her series of movements and detailed focus her sessions are like coming afresh to ourselves each time. As well as what we do in session, Alice generously shares many thoughtful and practical suggestions for how to integrate simple practices into everyday life that make her unique approach ripe with potential impact. Nothing is ever a cure all and even less likely to be a quick fix, but if we are looking for tools to make our presence in the world more intentional and full of fascinating detail that brings strength through practiced understanding, Alice’s classes deliver.
There is plenty to choose from and something for everyone and no yoga experience is needed.
