Hatha Yoga With Leon Lord

Ha means sun and tha moon, stick them together and they imply that we are trying to balance the two energies with in us.

On Tuesdays, 10.45am to 12pm Leon Lord is holding Hatha Yoga classes at The Comrades Hall for only Β£8.50/session πŸ™‚

My sessions start with 10 min Pranayama – breath work, where we focus on Yogic breathing practices to help cleanse and balance ourselves.
Then it is around 50 min of Asana – postures, stretching and strengthening the body to release toxins and emotions.
Last of all comes 15 min of Yoga Nidra – Yoga of sleep, we lie on the mat and focus internally using our breath and visualisations to bring peace and deep relaxation.

Book your place HERE.

New Gates Up Lewesdon Hill

Earlier today, a Dorset County Ranger together with a volunteer fitted a new metal gate up Lewesdon hill.Β  An advantage of this new gate is that it has a self-closing mechanism πŸ™‚

There is a field gate to go in next to it soon. A project kick started by local farmer and Parish Councillor, Andrew Frampton, the National Trust will be completing the fencing.
