So how through our yoga can we develop a strong, stable, balanced heart and mind?

Equanimity is an active quality that we can grow and nurture through our practice, a calmness and peace of mind and body that makes it easier to ride the ups and downs in our own and other’s lives.

​

In this workshop taking us towards Spring, we will practice a carefully crafted slow flow of yoga poses, including more dynamic and restorative postures designed to strengthen inner steadiness, supported by mindful awareness.

​

Equanimity is the acceptance that one of the few things we can control in life is our own responses to any given situation. Responding creatively from a more spacious place opens things up. It helps us stay connected with ourselves and others through life’s fluctuations in an ever changing world. It means more tranquility and less stress.

​

Maintaining this kind of equilibrium is the opposite of ‘detachment’ or neutrality. It involves building the muscles of emotional positivity and a clear response coming from a deep, still centre of love.

Contemporary meditation teacher Sharon Salzburg talks of equanimity as “a spacious stillness of mind”.

Come and explore a profound equality of experience, as we practice treating each moment and each person as important amid the changing tides of life.
