Yoga for Mental Health & The Art of Listening

This yoga class is designed to promote relaxation, reduce stress and foster a sense of community. All levels are welcome from beginners to experienced practitioners.

We will begin with Wayne Fletcher sharing a short reflection on the art of listening. Just as yoga invites us to listen closely to our bodies (holding a stretch without forcing it), listening to others requires us to hold space, resist the urge to jump in with advice, and truly hear what’s being said. This gentle parallel offers a unique perspective on how yoga practice and listening skills both nurture compassion, patience, and connection.

Sarah Barguirdjian, a full time yoga teacher with over 20 years of experience, will then lead you through a steady, slow paced class; focusing on empowering you to listen to your body and adapt poses to suit your range of motion, strength and energy levels.

The class will also include a short guided meditation and a simple breathing technique, both designed to enhance relaxation as well as recognise, process and release feelings associated with stress.
