Some traditional gentle vinyasa flow, with added Feldenkrais-inspired floor work and deep body resetting to get you into your body for the day ahead, set to music. Expect free-flowing movements and easy transitions, as well as an intention setting for your day.

The session includes the practices of asana (yoga postures), pranayama (breathing exercises), and meditation to develop physical and mental stillness. The goal of Integral yoga is to become aware of the (non-dogmatic) Divine, to integrate the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of ourselves, and to manifest the Divine on earth.

According to Sri Aurobindo, all life is Yoga, while Yoga as a sadhana (disciplined and dedicated practice or learning) is a methodised effort towards self-perfection, which brings to expression the latent, hidden potentialities of being. Success in this effort unifies the human individual with the universal and transcendental Existence. Integral yoga reunites "the infinite in the finite, the timeless in the temporal and the transcendent with the immanent.

Tune into your body and breath to stabilise and align with deep bodywork and long savasana. This session will give you the burn of transformation deep in the body, and create space for a physical reset of your movement patterns. Set to loud pumping music to energise.

Tarin + Garwyn are sharing a somatic hatha + Authentic Movement session to help further how we relate and connect.

EXPLORING SOMATIC EXPERIENCES THROUGH YOUR YOGA

We explore somatic memory, tension patterns and often do partner work to help restore how we interrelate. An experiential way to create connections we don't usually find during a standard yoga session.

And Authentic Movement_ is the deep practice developed over decades connecting movement to Carl Jung's active imagination practices, where the whole body becomes a vessel for unconscious expression.

These are depth based practices, and can help deepen mind body connection, reintegrate parts that get buried by the musculature armour and masking that society requires of us. These practices often stay with us for days after the session. You can read about somatics and authentic movement to get a feel for the practice.

The Yoga-Social is a FREE weekly meet-up exploring all kinds of different yoga, and non-yoga for expanding our ideas around health and wellbeing, originally funded by The National Lottery Community Fund and now self funding through donation based sessions and through the ethos of Yoga in the Stars community and members.

The Yoga-Social sessions will be different every week and are always free for everyone!

YOGA / COMMUNITY / MOVEMENT / DISCOVERY

Yoga in the Stars is a project by The Metahealth Movement, a not-for-profit working towards elevated health.

In 2022 £9,943 was donated to Yoga in the Stars by The National Lottery Community Fund for a special new project The Yoga-Social!

The project has been to create a space for people to come together around health and well-being. A free space to practice yoga, breathwork, movement, dance, tai chi and talk about health, food and lifestyle. Use the studio equipment and space in an open, inclusive and fun way. Expect spontaneous workshops and sessions, as well as a dedicated self-practice space, and we hope to invite other local yoga teachers to host sessions and workshops throughout the year to help grow and enrich the community.

Reach out to us with ideas.

Yoga really is for everyone, it’s a personal thing, and is a lifestyle choice that goes way beyond the mat and into every aspect of life, and we hope that this grant helps you to explore what this can mean for you as we discover together.

Iyengar yoga is a steady, practical style of yoga that focuses on clear alignment and mindful effort.

In an Iyengar class we move more slowly than in a flow class, spending time setting up each posture with care. You might use props like blocks, belts, bolsters, or the wall, not to make things “easier,” but to help your body find the shape safely and feel what’s happening.

Expect precise guidance from the teacher, longer holds, and lots of attention to the basics: feet, legs, spine, breath, and balance. It’s a brilliant practice if you want to build strength and stability, improve posture, work with injuries thoughtfully, or simply learn yoga in a more detailed, supportive way.

Laura has been teaching for over 20 years, and her classes are often fully booked across the city. We’re genuinely delighted to welcome her to Yoga in the Stars.
