Marlay Guild during summer recess is delighted to be associated with Helen Morrow’s Summer Yoga Charity Walks (details below) being held in Marlay Park and St Enda’s Park alternatively. This week on Monday 18th June its in Marlay.
What is a yoga walk and what will we do on the walk?
- While waiting for group to gather we can chat. Before we move off Helen explains the theme of the morning.
- Cultivating stilling the busy chatter of the mind by not talking for part of the walk but observing all we see, hear, feel and smell. We will find a suitable place to do breathing exercises and stretches. If possible we can sit or lie down, depending on weather and ground, we can try different types of meditation, stretch and relaxation.
- Our aim is to improve our sense of well – being by connecting with the simpler things in life – fresh air, exercise, nature, friendship and our true self.
When: Monday and Tuesday Mornings and no dogs please.
Time: 10.00am meetup at carpark ; 10.15am sharp walk begins.
Walk lasts 1 to 2 hours with option for coffee afterwards yet you can leave early if necessary. Bring a friend or family member (man or woman) who wants to try outdoor yoga. Feel comfortable about joining in at classes on any of the dates.
Cost? voluntary contribution for charity.– (and own coffee money)
