Relaxation is the most natural activity in the world, yet today it is a forgotten art. Many of us need to relearn and practise the art of relaxtion in order to safeguard our well-being. The practise of consciously letting go releases tension from the body and mind and opens up awareness.

This session involves meditative activity performed with focused awareness or mindfulness to generate a relaxation response.

'Mindfulness is the miracle by which we master and restore ourselves. Consider, for example; a magician who cuts his body into many parts and places each part in a different region - hands in the south, arms in the east, legs in the north, etc., and then by some miraculous power lets forth a cry which reassembles whole every part of his body. Mindfulness is like that - it is the miracle which can call back in a flash our dispersed mind and restore it to wholeness so that we can live each minute of life.'

Mindfulness is awareness without judgement or comment, it is mental hygiene.

During this session we shall be experiencing techniques from various movement forms, breathing and visualisation exercises, and the 'Inner Smile' to relax mind and body and rejuvenate the energy levels. Let it happen.

Todays' Workout...

Consists of a warm-up, time efficient supersets using Dyna Bands and Challenge Tubing, and a cool-down. Each superset begins with a basic exercise utilising several muscle groups, and then without resting either works an opposing muscle to that which has just been trained, or isolate a muscle that has just been trained.

Its all about creating muscle fatigue and is a very effective way of breaking a training plateau.
