Yoga participants report better sleep, increased energy levels and muscle tone, relief from muscle pain and stiffness, improved circulation and overall better general health. The breathing aspect of yoga can benefit heart rate and blood pressure, and help combat stress. Margaret will take you through a series of Hatha Yoga practices, which are suitable for all ages and abilities.

During the course of the workshop there will be a series of yoga sessions, along with meditate on. Additionally, Margaret will provide information to the group regarding other methods to prompt self-healing. There will also be a session of ‘Laughter Yoga’, which not only makes you feel happier, but really gets the oxygen flowing into your lungs.

Instructor Bio Margaret Brace is a certified Yoga Instructor, a qualified Cranio Sacral Therapist and Amatsu Practitioner, as well as a Personal Development Workshop Leader. Her business is located in Zurich.

Margaret’s personal journey changed when she was involved in a terrible car accident, and after making a conscious decision to explore ways to self-heal, her life transformed. Today, she uses her personal experience to help others learn ways to heal their lives.
