This event is open to carers residing in or caring for a person in Edinburgh and Midlothian.

When: Tue 29 Jul, 10:15am – 11:45am

About the event: This workshop offers time to nurture yourself during the summer season through the healing power of writing and embodiment through yoga practice. Suitable for beginners.

This will be a relaxing and gentle Hatha-style yoga class, then a journalling session followed by a soothing guided relaxation. Expect to feel renewed and refreshed with a greater focus on your present self and needs. We will begin with setting intentions for the rest of the summer season (and beyond) as well as our intentions for the practice. This will be followed with a full gentle Hatha-style yoga class, a therapeutic journalling session using a variety of writing prompts (you don’t have to share any of your writing) and we’ll finish with a guided relaxation session.

Suitable for beginners and those new to yoga. There are also options for using a chair. Please bring a notebook and pen (there will be some spares if needed) and any extra layers to feel comfortable.
