A slow, spiritual, but strong Vinyasa practice for the whole body for all levels. Expect longer held pauses for mind-body connection and guided breath cues to help guide you through this deep and sometimes challenging practice.

Part of our series is to give you the foundations you need to develop your practice. Charting asana, breath, vinyasa flow, alignments, meditation and philosophy. This session is for everyone, whether complete beginner or revisiting aspects of your practice.

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.

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.

An evening wind-down gentle vinyasa for the whole body, set to music, with extra focus on the transitions and the way we feel inside.

Expect some balance patterning, gentle repetitions and deep twists, as well as proprioceptive prompts to increase mind-body connection. Including mindful movement and Feldenkris-inspired transitions as well as qi-gong-inspired energy-work to help get your energy flowing freely.

Finishing with a guided body scan meditation for internal awareness and radiant health.

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.

Hatha Yoga includes elements of pranayama, mantra and asana, as meditative exercise. The mostly physical practice is characterized by being centred, grounded and calm. This gives us a chance to explore the body/mind connection.

Open all levels, expect moments of intensity as well as space for restorative mind-body connection.

Movement, and pranayama followed by a guided Yoga Nidra, also known as yogic sleep. Yoga Nidra during the day is an excellent way to reset yourself and create stronger connection with intuition through trance states.

A quiet morning space available for you just to sit and reconnect with your inner self. Very gently guided through the breath in order to quiet your mind and find a peace inside

A slow, spiritual, but strong Vinyasa practice for the whole body for all levels. Expect longer held pauses for mind-body connection and guided breath cues to help guide you through this deep and sometimes challenging practice.

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.

Sometimes we just need a dedicated space to find time for stillness, even just for a moment. With this short 20-minute time slot, pop in, check-in, and be guided through a simple practice of 10 - 15 minutes of mindful awareness.

Science has shown that even just a brief moment of mindfulness practice induces gray matter in the brain, which is associated with self-awareness, emotion, cognition, and ageing. With just 3 minutes of practice, by allowing your system to reset, it's been shown to decrease stress, enhance emotional regulation, and improve sleep.

Welcome to this weeks theme for the Yoga-Social!

FOOD YOGA_!

Food yoga has less to do with moving and everything to do with tasting, talking and sharing. An exploration of plant-based recipes for optimal health.

We explore nutrient rich and delicious, easy recipes, and share tastings.

Part 1
The Theme: THE BODY ALIVE

13th Nov_
Part 2
Community Shares

Explore your body not as a machine, but as a temple, or garden which we have to nourish and care for to see it bloom to its fullest expression.

Within this, there is mindful preparation and eating as well as consideration of the nutritions which we are getting, and cultivating a healthy relationship with the food itself. And then there is joy, the joy of tasting and really noticing the flavours and the way the food makes you feel, not just whilst eating but afterwards as well.

We will be sharing ideas for quick, healthy snacks and recipes to help enrich your own plant-based journey towards optimal health.
......

On the menu at Food Yoga!_

Fermented gram flour savoury crepes with mushroom and cashew filling with alkalising cider or kombucha vinegar.

Peanut brittle nut roast bites flavoured with fermented aquafaber and thyme.

Chickpea mini bites served with homemade pesto - mix of sundried tomatoes & basil & dry roasted peanuts

Desserts!_

Raw energy mini goodies balls made of various nuts options, flavoured with dates, 100% raw cacao & tahini

Community shares!

If you would like to bring a dish to share, the focus is:

NUTRIENT RICH / PLANT-BASED / SUGAR FREE / WHEAT FREE - with a strong focus on nuts, seeds, legumes, superfoods, fermentation and preparation! If food prep is not your thing then no pressure at all! Just come and get involved in the tasting!

We are looking forward to this very much!

YOGA / COMMUNITY / MOVEMENT / DISCOVERY

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

We are thrilled to announce that £9,943 has been donated to Yoga in the Stars by The National Lottery Community Fund for a special new project The Yoga-Social!

The project is 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.

#NationalLottery and the National Lottery players, thank you!

Intro to Energy Sensing followed by Dual Hearts Group Meditation & optional Pranic Healing Taster

With Gish Singh-Kular, Founder of Academy of Temple Arts

INTRO TO ENERGY SENSING
Gish will guide you through a simple yet profound exercise for you to increase your awareness of and sensitivity to your energy & aura. When you feel this energy for the first time the experience will always remain with you, and will awaken deeper aspects to your self enquiry.


DUAL HEARTS GROUP MEDITATION
Dual Hearts Meditation (DHM) is a very powerful ancient technique revived by Master Choa Kok Sui as part of modern Pranic Healing. DHM clears and highly activates your Crown and Heart chakras. By blessing the Earth you also benefit from the good karma you create with this service.

By joining us in this special meditation you benefit in many ways including:

* Energising and highly activating two powerful energy centres - your Heart and Crown
* Helping raise the energies of the world and assisting in our collective upliftment and evolution
* Gaining more good karma
* Clearing blocks in your energy systems

This meditation is delightful to experience and raises your vibration to a very high level. You may find yourself nicely energised from this meditation.


OPTIONAL EXTRA TASTER PRANIC HEALING SESSION

Pranic Healing
Pranic Healing (PH) is a non-touch energy healing modality. PH works on the aura and chakras (energy centres) of your subtle bodies - on the mental, emotional & spiritual levels, which in turn benefits your physical body. You may experience feeling lighter and cleaner/fresher after receiving a PH treatment session.

After the meditation you will have the opportunity to experience a group ‘taster’ Pranic Healing session of about 10-15 minutes for a small donation for local good cause(s). Feel free to join this healing session whether you make a donation or not, according to your means. By making a donation you’ll be gaining more good karma and helping a local good cause (we’re looking at a local food bank). All donations will go towards the good cause.

During the last 2 sessions led by Gish the room was buzzing with the amount of energy we all had. A delight to experience.

Gish is an Angelic Connector, Pranic Healer, 3000x Reiki Healer and Meditation Lead. Gish has been doing energy sensitivity work for over 3 1/2 decades and is a spiritual seeker, empath & intuitive sensitive.
