Will it be recorded: All the sessions will be recorded and you can attend all or some by recording, if you cant make it live. The recording will be available 1hr after the class has finished and you will be able to it stream for 4 weeks from the recorded date.
What does a session involve: From 10.15, Olivia will give the theme (of that week) and a little space for sharing or asking questions. From approx. 10.30, you will be guided into a breathing practice. From approx. 10.45, you will be guided into a 45min movement practice. At 11.25, you will be guided into a deep rest. At 11.30, Olivia will close the zoom room - leaving you to come out of the deep rest in your own time.
What will you see when online live or in the recording: Olivia will be on the screen when introducing the practice. Laura Muskan (a seasoned resilience practitioner and teacher) will be demonstrating the movements, whilst Olivia instructs.
Do you have to have your camera on: No you don't, however if you do (and your whole body can be seen), you will have more support from Olivia as she will be able to give specific guidance from what she sees.
In each 4-week course, what's expected of you:
Weekly Participation: Attend the live session or watch the recording of the session once each week.
Practice (Optional but Recommended): If possible, do the recorded practice several more times during the week. Your practice can include either or both of the: 45 minutes of movementexercises 15 minutes of breathing exercises

Will there be any theory work on these courses: No, everything is practical.
What are the movements you will be practising: With their lineage deep in Yoga all the movements are from the 'Resilience Trainings', and they will guide you in: - protecting the vulnerability of your joints. - learning how each body part can and needs to support each and every body part. - quietening the mind: so that the intelligence of your body can guide you. - feeling more mobile, comfortable and at ease: whilst moving around in your daily activities (when off the mat). - feeling more connected, whole, trusting, open and joyful.
What are the breathing practises you will be guided into: Each month you will be guided into an intimacy with your breathing; through learning active and passive breathing practices: Active practices: strengthen core muscles (plus many more benifits). Passive practices: develop intimacy with your unique breathing pattern, whilst inviting your breath to become free (from long held tensions, strains and anxieties). Look here for full details on each practice and its benifits...
