Pop-Up: Befriending Stillness
What it's about

What comes to mind when you think of the word ‘health’? Most of our brains automatically think physical health — exercising and moving, healthy eating, drinking water and so on. And while physical health does play a large role in keeping our bodies in shape and functioning properly, our mental health is just as important to maintain to achieve a healthy and happy lifestyle.

In this exploratory 2-hour session, Jennifer will guide you through different modalities to take care of the mind. There will be:

— a physical practice to loosen up the body;

— a pranayama practice to prepare the mind;

— a restorative practice to soothe the nervous system; and

— a meditation or quiet reflection time.

Suitable for everyone.

About The Teacher

Jennifer

After dipping in and out of yoga for several years, a serious injury led Jennifer towards a more consistent practice. Beyond the rehabilitative benefits, she soon realised there was more to yoga than regaining her mobility. Eventually, she decided to pursue her first teacher training, wanting to share what she had learnt with others. Having been in education for over a decade, as well as a group exercise instructor and CrossFit coach, the transition felt smooth, with these various roles developing Jennifer’s understanding of what it means to be an educator – regardless of the subject matter.

Jennifer also enjoys other movement modalities, from kettlebell-based strength and cycling (indoors and outdoors), to more explorative methods such as Functional Range Conditioning and Feldenkrais. 

All of Jennifer’s classes include invitational breath work, finding ways to move in our bodies with confidence, and an exploration of mindfulness that is curious and compassionate. Jennifer believes that everyone has the right to move with joy, and to experience the magic of slowing down. As much as she can at this point in her journey, she aims to guide students through an intersectional, accessible and inclusive lens.
