Autumn Equinox Yoga – Reclaim your Balance

At this time of  year, the Autumn Equinox, a time of equal day and night, we are reminded to come back to balance, both physically, mentally and energetically.

As we age, our sense of balance naturally deteriorates. This decline can increase the risk of falls and injuries due to loss of physical strength, decreased bone density and slower recovery times

Often, these changes happen gradually and may go unnoticed—until we struggle with balancing poses in Yoga, or find ourselves falling more frequently.

In this workshop we will explore the science of balance and the factors that influence it, including:

• Proprioception – our ability to sense body position in space
• The vestibular system – located in the inner ear, essential for equilibrium
• Visual input – how our eyes help us orientate and stabilise ourselves

Learn practical tools to improve sensorimotor control through gentle Somatic movement practices and Yoga postures.

What to expect:

• A slow, mindful, and accessible pace
• Practices suitable for all levels including complete beginners
• No prior experience in Yoga or Somatics is required

Who this workshop is for:

• Anyone interested in improving their balance and body awareness
• Those looking to age actively and reduce fall risk
• Yoga teachers who want to better understand why students may struggle with balance and learn practical ways to support their students’ development.

We will also find balance in the nervous system through gentle breathing techniques and breath awareness.
