the poses are welcoming everyone to explore the silence inside, even if it seems to be very challenging sometimes. Same like a life itself.

This Yoga practice is about quieting of the fluctuations of the mind and creating a relationship with our mind, rather than being constantly in a separation and uncontrollable fight inside. Through the conscious and mindful movements along with a breath, you will be guided to stay present and take most of the experience off the mat into your daily life.

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.

Part of our series to give you the foundations you need to develop your practice. Charting asana, breath, vinyasa flow, alignments, meditation and philosophy. We spend time reping out asana and talking through the postural shapes, to build foundations for strength, flexibility, mobility and agility. This session is for everyone, whether complete beginner or revisiting aspects of your practice. It's also an open environment for questions, exploration and trying new things on the mat.

A 30 minute mini session. Giving you tools to realign your posture with strength and stability so that you can unlock your natural state for deeper relaxation. Expect a mix of practices, some yoga and non-yoga, as well as breathwork and tension release, all focused on mind body connection and deep body-work. Each class will be different to help give your more tools to take home and help you relax.

Classical Tantra refers to the practices founded in the peak period of the Tantrik movement (800-1100 CE). These sessions, with Sabina Bhandari are designed to give you an experiential orientation to the vast system that is Classical Tantra, exploring movement, visualisation and the energetics of the body through one of the most ancient lineages of raja yoga.

Each month will be themed, giving you the opportunity to explore practices in consecutive sessions, so that you will begin to be able to weave your Tantric teachings into your daily yoga practice.

Sabina will be joining Yoga in the Stars alternate Tuesday evenings.

Book in advance to avoid disappointment.

This session will be more dynamic and aimed at building more energy with stronger postures and more yang movement.

Unity is a combination of East meets West. Shaped by teachings drawn from Integral, Traditional Vedic, and modern lineages. The mystical, philosophical, and the science-based. Expect mindful movement, an enquiry into organic, natural movement; moving inwards through focused awareness to then open outwards into a spectrum of authentic yogic postures with sensitivity and strength. The heart of this practice is about ‘being with oneself’, letting go and enjoying the process of unfolding rather than judging or forcing. Each class will be shaped by a different theme in response to either the time of day, element, season, lunar cycle, or energy, and your guide's curiosity.

A vinyasa flow is designed to capture the essential elements of primal movement.

During this session we ask ourselves "what would I be like if I had never sat in a chair or been able to get my food from walking around a busy supermarket. What would my body feel like if I had to run, climb and move just to survive".

This session is a discovery session, with yoga as the key vehicle. Balance, strength in posture and finding new movement patterns.

Special Notes: Set around vinyasa, expect some workshop moments and non-yogic movements.

You may sweat.

This is a FREE SPACE to practice yoga. This session is an open invitation to come and enjoy a yoga reset! Yoga is for everyone and this is an open session for all levels. There will be time after the session for chai and chats and space to explore any aspects of your practice that you wish!...

Gravity yoga is a targeted mobility training method that involves long hold stretches.

Poses are practised completely relaxed, passively, so gravity does most of the work. Gravity yoga focuses on opening up the hips, hamstrings and back, where eventually the whole body will open up overtime as everything is connected.

When you come to gravity yoga classes expect strong classes, challenging poses. The method is slow, with long hold postures taught in an effective and progressive way for each student to feel and deepen the stretch.

The classes are structured in a way that students can modify each posture to their physical needs, the aim is to find the stretch and relax as much as possible into each posture.

In gravity yoga we combine long hold postures with 4:8 breathing, an essential breathing technique that activate the parasympathetic nervous system and switch off the stretch and reflex response in the muscles, that usually naturally happens when we stretch the body, allowing the body to relax, open up deeper in a faster and more effective way, leaving a long lasting effect in the body and feeling a calmer mind.

A deep and meditative slow-to-stillness set to candlelight for a deeper wind-down followed by a guided meditation leading into a liminal altered state of consciousness. Based on Vedic teachings, a playful and tantric fusion inspired by Yin, Kundalini, and Primal Movement such as Scaravelli and Feldenkrais. Slowly moving the body into stillness, journeying through your edges whilst cultivating a sacred connection with your Higher Self. Followed by a guided Yoga Nidra.

Yoga Nidra is a pure tantric experience. This can be described as a guided meditation leading into a liminal altered state of consciousness. Yoga Nidra means conscious yogic sleep that promotes extreme relaxation and healing through traversing altered states of consciousness from our waking beta-wave brain state through to delta. This practice helps to minimize tension, inspire creativity, relax the body and mind, promote physical and emotional recovery as well as instil a feeling of deep harmony and peace within. In Yoga Nidra lucid sleeping is among the deepest possible states of relaxation while still maintaining full consciousness, whilst planting seeds of your heartfelt desires into the brain's most fertile state. Scientific research states that a 30-minute practice of Yoga Nidra can equal 4 hours of deep sleep in its restorative effect on the nervous system. It is also an excellent tool to speed up recovery and is very helpful in coping with stress. It has been scientifically proven to have a significant effect on improving the health of regular practitioners as well as subjects prone to cardiovascular diseases, tumours, stress-related disorders and burnout. Yoga Nidra is a method of inducing complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation.
