I am a fully qualified and insured Yoga Instructor. After almost 20 years of practice, I began an 18-month teaching diploma training under Sevanti at Unity Yoga in 2019 and completed more than 400 hours of various training since. Beginning my yoga journey in 1999, I've found my practice to be an incredibly powerful tool for support and positive transformation in my life. I've practiced and studied with teachers from various styles and traditions but I consider my practice and sharing to be post-lineage. I endeavour to share yoga practices in an inclusive, accessible and non-hierarchical way which respects your own inner wisdom and natural rhythmic cycles. I embrace the role of a guide in the realms of both tenderness and resilience, softness and strength, in what I like to call “subtle activism” and am inspired by embodiment practices. I like to slow things down and I encourage this at every opportunity. My approach emphasizes nurturing an inquisitive awareness of the body, mind, and spirit. I aim to be playful in my devotion and facilitation, interweaving my various yoga trainings, esoteric practices, and transpersonal psychology. I like to focus on honesty and introspection in practice, guiding yogis to connect deeply with themselves to discard the superficial and delve into the breath to clear the mind & steer it towards clarity. I am passionate to guide towards cultivating a more sensitive connection to the subtle cues within and outside the body in order to align you with your most unique compass code. It's my firm belief that our duty is to discover what inspires us so we can be bold and share our sparkle in this world. In addition to my initial teacher training certificate, I see myself as an ongoing student of yoga, inspired by many brilliant teachers, and have trained under Dr Kumar in Traditional Vedic yoga, Uma Dinsmore Tuli in Yoga Nidra, WeEvolve and Katonah yoga under Selena Gareffino, as well as yoga for children with Zen Kids and Trauma-Sensitive Foundation with Centre for Trauma and Embodiment. With a degree in arts education and an accredited and certified Therapeutic Depth Psychology Coach, my post-graduate therapeutic trainings include Integrative Arts, Psychosynthesis and Grofian Psychedelic and Breathwork psychological models, being an ongoing student of spiritual psychology since 2020. I specialise in supporting and integrating spiritual emergence and emergencies. A humbled co-creator to our avant-garde yoga club in East London, Yoga In the Stars, where we embody the philosophy of being a "merging of the emerging," and space for continuous learning, community and growth. I offer 121 coaching packages, yoga sessions, yoga nidra and am in the process of creating an online mentorship program - in due course For a more in-depth understanding of my services and qualifications, please visit my website at https://www.wholeexquisiteself.com/

Description

This FULL MOON we welcome Gish Singh-Kular, Pranic Healer and meditation lead, and Kadialy Kouyate, African Harpist with Sound Archive, Royal Shakespeare Company, Afro-Celt Soundsystem.

The ritual will begin with a powerful Pranic Invocation to Angel-forms, led by Gish, and a Kriya / cleansing movement and mindfulness, with Basia, and then leads on to a sound journey with Kadialy as he plays the Kora. Through the invocation, you are invited to participate in creating the energies of the ritual as you speak to the unseen.

Gish has 35 years experience in working with energies, sensing and healing. And Kadialy comes from an 800 year lineage of Griots (wondering musicians) in West Africa.

When we think of "practicing yoga", what are we practicing for? Feeling into and participating in moments of deep connection?

Come and participate as we use the natural energy of the full moon to enhance our living experience.
