Nourishing Your Soul During the Holiday Rush

As the holiday season approaches, our calendars overflow with gatherings, to-do lists lengthen, and the hustle and bustle of festivities engulf us. It's a time of joy, connection, and celebration, but it can also be incredibly demanding on our energy and well-being. Amid this whirlwind, there's a precious gift you can give yourself - the gift of yoga.

Repower is gifting you a FREE yoga workshop the help you find a sense of calm this Christmas.



The Self-Giving Yoga Workshop


In the spirit of slowing down and getting grounded, our 90-minute yoga workshop provides a sanctuary amidst the chaos. Led by the experienced and mindful Bernie, this workshop is a deliberate act of self-care, a pause button pressed amid the seasonal rush.


What to Expect:


  1. Breathful Beginnings: Begin with pranayama, a practice that sets the stage for inner rhythm and a calm mindset. In the words of an old adage, "Meditate every day. Except when you don't have time. Then meditate for an hour."
  2. Gentle Warm-Up: Safeguard your body with a gentle warm-up, ensuring that your practice is not only beneficial but also injury-free.
  3. Asanas Exploration: Explore a sequence designed to target your entire body, with personalised adjustments provided by Bernie to ensure optimal comfort.
  4. Mindful Movement: Immerse yourself in mindful movement, a key to fostering a deeper mind-body connection. Amid the chaos, find a moment of stillness within.
  5. Individualised Guidance: Bernie will offer personalised tips to enhance your flexibility, strength, and balance, recognizing and celebrating the uniqueness of your practice.
  6. Blissful Closure: Conclude the workshop with an extended savasana, a gift of deep relaxation and rejuvenation for your body and soul.


Why Yoga Matters During the Holidays:


In the frenzy of the season, the importance of yoga becomes magnified. It's not just about physical exercise; it's a holistic practice that nourishes your mind, body, and soul. Here are a few reasons why carving out time for yoga during the holidays is crucial:


  1. Stress Relief: The holidays can bring both joy and stress. Yoga is a proven stress reliever, helping to calm the mind and ease tension in the body.
  2. Mindful Presence: With so much happening around us, yoga encourages us to be present in the moment, fostering mindfulness and gratitude.
  3. Energy Restoration: Instead of depleting your energy further, yoga restores and revitalizes you, ensuring you have the stamina to navigate the festive season with grace.
  4. Self-Care Ritual: Amid the giving to others, remember to give to yourself. The yoga workshop is a beautiful act of self-care, an investment in your well-being.



This holiday season, amidst the shopping, cooking, and celebrating, consider giving yourself the invaluable gift of yoga. Join us in the workshop, bring your yoga mat, an open heart, and a willingness to embrace a moment of peace and calm.


Listen to your body, honour your limits, and let the practice of yoga be a sacred space for you during a time when life demands a lot from you. Cultivate well-being, relaxation, and balance through the timeless and transformative gift of yoga.
