Mary’s Workshops

It doesn’t take more than a few minutes in one of Mary’s workshops to experience her warmth and love of working with groups. She seems to have the natural ability to draw people out, and make each individual feel heard and catered for and yet be part of the group and to feel safe.

Mary has over 30 years experience practicing and teaching yoga, and is used to adapting the yoga component of her workshops to suit all abilities – so there is no need to worry if you have no previous experience of yoga – you will not be asked to sit in the lotus position or stand on your head! All she asks is that if you have a medical condition that might adversely be affected by yoga (such as high blood pressure) you check beforehand with your doctor and inform her prior to the workshop.

What to expect on the workshops

The Enneagram workshops address how personality impacts on the body as well as the mind and spirit. You will learn about the nine types of the enneagram, including your own type, and yoga postures that help balance the types, and enhance the flow of energy in the meridians. Her ‘seasonal series’ of workshops (currently held in Bristol, UK in 2006/7, see below) focus on how the seasons affect us, and how we can utilize energy that arises naturally at different times of year to maximize our full potential.

Yoga for the Chakras workshops show in a highly practical way how you may rebalance your chakras – spinning vortices of radiant energy in your body that affect everything you think, say or do. Through yoga postures, meditation and insights you will learn how to achieve and maintain physical, mental, emotional and spiritual balance.

WriteSpace workshops are a magical combination of creative writing with yoga and meditation that help you to write from a deeper space within. You will learn different techniques to silence the inner critic and trust your voice. Each day begins with early morning yoga, continues with time to write in silence between breakfast and lunch, enjoy an afternoon walk, take part in writing exercises, and complete the day after dinner by sharing your writing with the group in a supportive, peaceful atmosphere.

All Mary’s workshops contain a yoga and meditation component, exercises where you work in pairs or small groups, time for reflection as well as sharing, enabling people to gain insight on their lives and situations. Her guided deep relaxation exercises are often claimed to be the highlight of her workshops and are an especial treat.

Mary is available to teach workshops in the UK and abroad by invitation and can individually tailor these to your group or company’s needs.
 

 

 

Courses and Workshops 2008-9

 

Mary’s workshops contain a yoga and meditation component, exercises where you work in pairs or small groups, time for reflection as well as sharing, enabling insight into your life and situations.  Her guided deep relaxation sessions are particularly appreciated. She teaches by invitation, and is happy to travel worldwide.  There are special rates for third world countries, or charity groups.  The workshops below are an example, but she is also happy to tailor make a workshop to suit the needs of your group.

 

“The Nine Types of the Enneagram” teaches the basics about the Enneagram system:  The nine types and how type affects the body as well as mind and spirit.  You will find out about your type, and learn about your friends and colleagues. 

(An evening, full day and morning.)

 

 

“Yoga for the Nine Types of the Enneagram” is for people who already have a little knowledge about the enneagram.  It is suitable for people who want to learn how to work on their type with yoga and learn about supportive lifestyle changes they could make.  It is a good follow-on workshop from the one above, or it can be preceded by a one-day brief introduction to the types.

 (An evening, full day, and morning.)

 

 

“Yoga for the Chakras” introduces the seven main chakras and how they affect us on all levels.  These spinning vortices of radiant energy influence everything you think, say or do.  Through yoga postures, meditations and practical suggestions how to support and balance them you will learn how to achieve and maintain physical, mental and emotional spiritual balance. 

 

An evening and two full days (more detailed)
