Karma Yoga: All levels - Donations to Dorking Area Foodbank
with Olivia Rusholme

Once a month we are offering this Yin Yang Yoga class with all proceeds going to our local ‘Dorking Area Foodbank’ charity. Run in partnership with local churches, the Dorking Area Foodbank is a registered charity and aims to ‘help local people in crisis’. Staff and volunteers work together to distribute food and necessary provisions to individuals and families that need help at different times. As payment for the class, please feel free to make a donation to support the work of the Foodbank (suggested between £5-£10) and help keep Dorking working better together.

Class description: Yin Yang Yoga blends two styles of Yoga, combining the benefits of passively holding Yoga poses with more dynamic sequences and standing postures. The class is open to people with all levels of Yoga experience as the teacher will be giving options for modification and seeking to adapt the movements to the needs of the individual.

We'll start by warming and energising, as we progressively work through a mindful dynamic and flowing Yang Asana (posture) practice. That will help to build muscle strength, energy fluidity and develop your flexibility and spatial awareness. In the Yin portion, we'll slow things right down, tapping into restorative and meditative principles of Yin, focusing on stillness and calm. Postures are passively held for longer periods helping to free connective tissue, while directing energy around the main meridian pathways. The two practises combined will help you to reset and rebalance. 

Price: There is no set fee for this class, please donate what you can afford between £1 and £16 by purchasing the Foodbank Donation Pass once logged into your online account.  All donations will be used to support the charitable aims of Dorking Area Foodbank.
