Body & Mind Connection

Body & Mind Connection is at Art and Spirituality on Thursday 22 October, starting at 18:00. It's a wellness class rooted in traditional Hatha Yoga, built around boosting productivity, creativity and deep relaxation while cutting anxiety. The session values understanding over performance: the focus is on the intention of correct alignment rather than the final pose, so it's more about how you're doing it than where you end up.

Beyond the physical, the class looks at how the mind reacts during movement, spotting the hidden patterns that lead to overwhelm and creative blocks. It's as much about what's happening in your head as what's happening on the mat. The practice draws on a few different things: meditation, Hatha Yoga asanas, yoga philosophy for personal growth, breath work, Body & Mind E-motion coaching techniques and Tibetan singing bowls.

Art and Spirituality is over in Gorgie, at 6-8 Alexander Drive, EH11 2RH. It's a space that does yoga, healing, meditation, massage, hire, classes and workshops, so this fits right in with what they do. The session runs from 18:00, and tickets go from free up to £12 via Eventbrite.
