Workshop 2: Yoga and Mindfulness

Jade Franklin | Mindfulness and Yoga Teacher

Jade teaches yoga and mindfulness in and around Stoke Gabriel, Devon. During training as an occupational therapist, Jade discovered the wide-reaching applications of mindfulness and yoga, making this the focus of her work with mental health clients. Going on to train more deeply in mindfulness and then to train as a yoga teacher, Jade decided to work outside of mental health settings.

Working as a yoga teacher, she now reaches people of all ages (from children to adults throughout the life span) helping them to manage stress, anxiety and become physically healthier. Jade emphasises how the tools of mindfulness are applicable to every aspect of life and work. When practiced regularly, mindfulness becomes an ingrained part of a person, enabling improvements in wellbeing and quality of life to naturally flow.

The session will begin with a 10-minute introduction to mindfulness & the connection to yoga and movement followed by a 15-minute gentle yoga practice - an all over body stretch and release focusing on:

• Lower body (hips and lower spine) - 15-minute guided mindfulness practice - this can be done sitting on the floor, on a chair or lying down, however the participant is most comfortable.
• A breath practice followed by an ‘awareness of sound’ practice.
The session will end with a 5-minute closing talk and tips on how to bring mindfulness into everyday life and work, followed by a 15-minute Q&A session.

Target Audience: ALL ADULTS
