Yoga Taster Sessions – Garvald Village Hall
By way of introduction, I have been practising vinyasa and other styles of yoga for several years. In mid-June 2024 I should complete a 200+ hour yoga teacher training course, after which it would be my intention to establish regular yoga classes in Garvald Village hall, if there were a demand for that. In advance of that and to assess levels of interest I am proposing to run a number of taster sessions during April. These will be free of charge.
The taster sessions are provided on the basis it is understood I am still a trainee teacher, two thirds of the way through my course, but I do have insurance cover in place.
It would be helpful for planning purposes if people could let me know if they are likely to attend and which class by using the contact form at the bottom of this post. Come along even if you don’t get around to that.
Kirsty
Proposed classes dates and times:
Monday 15th April: Chair Yoga – 10.45 to 11.45.
This class is open to all but is particularly suitable for people who find it difficult to get up and down off the floor. Loose/comfortable clothing should be worn to allow for movement. Please bring a mat if you have one (to stop chair sliding).
If there is sufficient interest further classes will be scheduled for 22nd and 29th April, as part of the taster package.
Tuesday 16th April: Beginners yoga – 6pm to 7pm.
This would normally be taught in a block of 6/8 weeks, focusing on learning basic poses, transitions, and alignments. Please bring your own mat.
If there is sufficient interest a further class will be scheduled for 23rd April, as part of the taster package.
Tuesday 30th April: Vinyasa yoga class – 6pm to 7pm.
Designed for people with some experience of yoga. Vinyasa Yoga is a practice where you smoothly transition from pose to pose, linking movement with breath. It is often referred to as yoga “flow”. You can expect to build strength and flexibility. Please bring your own mat.
If there is sufficient interest further taster sessions of this class can be scheduled in June.
Garvald Craft Group – Introduction to Watercolours
The next taster session is on 11th April 2024 between 7pm and 9pm in Garvald Village Hall.
The tutor is Leigh Roberts (see link for further details), and the taster is an introduction to watercolours. There are still a few places left so use the contact form, below, if you want to join in:
Lucy’s Place: Coastal Geology Walk – applications due by this weekend
Only a few days to go to submit applications to join the free Lucy’s Place CIC coastal geology walk!
We start Lucy’s Place 2024 well-being community meets on Sunday 14th April with a coastal geology walk along the beautiful East Lothian Coast. You will be guided by Dr Richard Phillips. Richard has an academic background as a lecturer in Structural Geology and Geohazards and will share his knowledge and expertise of the local geology. White Sands offers the most extensive limestone outcrops in the central belt. We will take a short walk from White Sands to Barns Ness and step back over 300 million years to a time of coral reefs, lagoons and coal-forming forests. Lots of opportunity for fossil hunting and a good spot for a picnic!
Geology walks such as this have positive impacts on health and well-being. It is a form of mindfulness activity in that you are bringing your awareness to the natural environment in the present moment. You can let the worries and stresses of the day float away and bring your attention to the world around you. It will also increase knowledge, sense of achievement and above all it will be fun!
If you are interested in taking part please complete an application. These are available at Carfrae Farm shop and Beech and Birch. Electronic applications are available on request from info@lucysplace.org . Alternatively, you can download from the link at the bottom of this post (below the poster).
Applications need to be received at least two weeks prior to the specific activity. The deadline for this activity is therefore 31st March 2024. Please get your application in as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
We hope to see you there.
