Kate, the organiser behind The Start of Now, invites the sports community to join her yoga and meditation classes in Kingsbridge. These sessions are designed to be friendly and inclusive, welcoming everyone with a genuine understanding of the mind-body connection.
Kate’s classes blend Ashtanga and Vinyasa-inspired yoga flows with 'Fire & Water' Meditation practices. Each week, the session focuses on a different theme, offering a unique experience every time. You'll find a mix of both fiery and gentle practices, leaving you feeling balanced and connected.
Classes are held at Port Waterhouse in East Portlemouth, just a quick ferry ride from Salcombe. The peaceful setting, with its sounds of the sea and birds, adds a special touch to the sessions. Additionally, there's a weekly Ashtanga Vinyasa class at Harbour House in Kingsbridge every Wednesday morning from 7am to 8am.
Benefits of these classes include stress relief, improved flexibility and mobility, and emotional release. Regular yoga and meditation practice can help reduce stress and inflammation, improve posture and body awareness, and offer techniques for handling stressful situations. The focus on breathing, concentration, and simple movements enhances overall well-being.
Moreover, the emotional aspect is also addressed. Restorative practices like yin yoga help release emotions stored in the body's connective tissues. This process can bring various emotions to the surface, offering a chance to process and move through them. Yoga and meditation have been shown to lower stress hormones and boost beneficial brain chemicals, like endorphins, improving mood and decreasing anxiety.
Beyond personal benefits, Kate’s classes offer a sense of community. Connecting with like-minded individuals fosters a supportive environment where participants can share their experiences and remind themselves they are not alone.
Join Kate and The Start of Now to experience the transformative power of yoga and meditation. Start your journey towards inner peace, physical well-being, and a sense of community today. 🌟
