These sessions run on the third Saturday of every month and will either be the Foundation or Primary series. Foundation series (created by Bharath Shetty) shares similarities to the Ashtanga Primary series but with a slightly different order of postures and without the many jump backs and jump throughs. Where the Foundation series focuses more on hip opening and postural integrity, the Ashtanga Primary series has more emphasis on stamina and endurance. Both sequences can be fun and challenging and you can do as much or as little as you want in the class.

This Saturday evening session is suitable for absolutely everyone. It’s deeply relaxing and a chance to lie down for an hour or so and completely let go, allowing sound to reverberate through your whole being and release deeply held tensions completely quietening your mind.

Come mellow out, meditate, make music and make friends at this fun and informal mantra meditation evening hosted by kirtan leaders and meditation teachers Neil and Bella.

What it's all about: Kirtan is a call and response musical meditation from the yoga tradition, considered the most potent form of meditation in this day and age. Bathing in and singing these powerful transcendental sound vibrations cleanses the heart and the mind and brings peace to the soul.

We open our meditation with a guided breathing practice and a resonant mantra circle that takes you deep into a meditative space. Then, sing along with ancient mantras in a call and response format. Come listen, soak up the vibes, sing along, and bring an instrument to jam along if you feel inspired!

Beginners are highly encouraged, all ages, voices and experiences welcome!

The session is free of charge, no need to bring anything and chairs will be available.

Feel free to text Bella directly if you have any questions at 07501442771

Ashtanga is a strong physical practice that coordinates breath and movement in a set series of postures. This class introduces students to the beginnings of the ‘primary series’, focusing on details and helping them come to grips with of a series of  fundamental yoga postures, as well as building strength, toning, improving focus and quietening a busy mind.

This is a strong, deep but accessible practice. We work not only on building strength and flexibility, and on balancing the nervous system, but also on bringing ourselves to a meditative state creating space and stillness in our minds. We work with dynamic flows, allowing breath to drive movement and bring the benefits of yoga to every layer of our beings. There is a focus on deep core strengthening to build physical and mental/emotional stability as well as on gently, efficiently increasing flexibilty, balance and focus.

This is a super accessible meditative practice that brings us deeper and deeper into a state of yoga. If you’d like to get stronger and more flexible physically, but would also like to balance your nervous system and bring space to your mind, this is a great class for you. It's also really fun, warm and welcoming!

In SURYA, we begin with an energising pranayama, then challenge our body and minds with a strengthening practice, exploring asanas from the Ashtanga series, modifying where necessary to prioritise the essence and energetic awareness of the postures over making them look picture perfect.
This is not a led Ashtanga class, but is suitable for both practitioners of Ashtanga looking to support their self-practice as well as those completely new to yoga.
