Workshops
Our Stretch and release collaborative workshops
Stretch and release
Our sessions start with joint freeing movement and intentional breath work to prepare for our somatic movement. As we enter our deep stretching we practice mindfulness of our own boundaries, bodily functions and feelings and relinquish expectations and pressure. Jay will guide you through the session and finish with affirmations and meditation if requested.
Twerk stretch and release
We will start class with joint freeing movement and gently opening up our hips. We will then explore different twerking movement and how to use it as a source of grounding. As we begin our yoga sequence their will be an option to twerk, engage in different glute isolations and vibrate in certain poses to further release tension. We will finish with some affirmations and meditation if requested.
Creative writing stretch and release
We will begin with stretch and release, focusing on the elements Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether. As we do this, we will reflect on our relationship and connection with nature. Afterwards, we will have a relaxing poetry session with Ebony, using the tools we have acquired from yoga and translating it into written craft. Ebony (they/she) is a queer fat Black Dark skinned writer that centres their work around liberation such as fat Black liberation and queer celebration. They are passionate about marginalised groups realising their creative beauty and importance and enjoy working with all different people that want to heal through creative writing.
Hand balancing stretch and release
We will begin the class with a warm up , joint freeing movements and wrist prep with miss Geégeé Georgina (she/her). Miss Geégeé is an international circus artist and instructor, who is passionate about circus skills being accessible to those that are excluded from artistic spaces. After our warm up miss Geégeé will then discuss and teach different balances, with different adaptions to suit very beginner to intermediate practitioners. We will then centre ourselves before entering into deep stretches, focusing on the muscle groups we have just used. We will finish with some gentle stretches, affirmations and meditation if requested.
