a portion of proceeds from my workshops go towards supporting the work of rupert lowe

With a series of squeezing and soaking organs and glands, your body is supported in positions that stimulate the para-sympathetic nervous system. Allowing you to experience the states of theta brain wave frequency, while your organs soak in oxygen rich blood.

There is a plexus of parasympathetic nerves at the base of the neck and the sacrum. These nerves are stimulated in poses with jalandhara, which calms the flow of thoughts.

With the support of the sling, forward hanging poses like this are held for much longer. The spine flows from the pelvis increasing with each exhalation, decompressing vertebra and rehydrating the discs between them.

A natural stimulation of Uddiyana Bandha occurs and is engaged at length, as the thighs are lifted away from the abdomen. During Uddiyana bandha, the internal organs move back into their position of origin.

The bolster elevates the torso away from the ground, allowing the shoulders to fall away and the chest to open. The padding under the head and spine signals the nervous system to relax. 

Leg stretches can be held long enough to go beyond the muscles and tendons, to the connective tissue.

Chest opening continues with the bolster throughout Savasana and lower leg support is offered to stabalise the lumbar and sacral area. 

It was such a great combo - the relaxing yoga with the sound. I slept like a dream on Tuesday night ❤️

 Thanks so much for last night. The evening was wonderful. I found your singing so moving and was compelled to let you know! Your voice is meant to be heard. It’s a true gift. I also think the guitar and your voice go so well together🌷
