Bloomfield Homestead this weekend utilises its tropical food forest as the setting for Dru Yoga.
Dru instructor, Christine Nonn said there are many benefits to this form of yoga created 50 years ago.
It reduces stress and tension, eases back pain and physical discomfort, as well as boosting energy and vitality, she says.
“Each session has five stages; the first is activation which is a fun way to warm up and release tension, then energy block release which are sequences of stretching, twisting, bending and squatting, then we will work on postures with specific therapeutic benefits for the body and mind,” she said.
“Next is relaxation, which is the natural conclusion of the practice. It allows the energy that has been activated during movements to settle, enabling your body to balance and heal itself.”
And lastly, “meditation which is perfect after relaxation. The heightened sense of awareness and clarity gained from it allows unfolding of personal power.”
“It was always my wish to host more spiritual growth events and workshops,” homestead owner Doreen Jachmann said.
Themed ‘Earth’, the session is on Sunday from 7am-8.30am at Bloomfield’s 5-acre property in Jimboomba. Cost is $22.
