2009 Festival: Slow Down Yoga
We all sometimes get frustrated at the pace of modern life. We know too that yoga can help us slow down. But how often do we actually take time to slow down in our yoga practice and feel the benefits? How often do we rush through our practice in an effort to cram more into the time available?
Together with Slow Down London, The Life Centre invites you to Slow Down Yoga. Join leading yoga teacher and self-confessed slow person Graham Burns for two hours of yoga in the slow lane – and be amazed at the inner scenery you might see for the first time.
Open to all levels, including beginners to yoga, Slow Down Yoga will combine discussion about how yoga can help us slow down with breathing practices, movement, restorative postures and the deep guided relaxation of yoga nidra.
Graham Burns’ 23 years working as a commercial lawyer and even longer playing competitive sport helped give him a unique perspective on how yoga can help with the stresses of daily life. He is a firm believer in the power of yoga to enable us to reconnect to what is really important – it certainly helped him slow down and become more aware of all the beauty he was missing in the world.
Graham is known for his humorous and light-hearted approach to teaching, while still preserving the best elements of the yoga tradition, and has been recognised by the Evening Standard as one of London’s top teachers of yogic relaxation.
