Primal Movement Flow
Description
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.

Energy Sensitivity Training, Connecting with Angels + Blessing Mother Earth Meditation + Receive Pranic Energy Healing
With Gish Singh-Kular, Founder of Academy of Temple Arts
ENERGY SENSITIVITY TRAINING
Discover how to feel your aura. I have been exploring these methods for decades. I love seeing students faces light up the first time they experience this.
Following on from the Energy Sensitivity Training:
CONNECTING WITH ANGELS
We will be connecting with the Angelic Hierarchies to assist us in our spiritual development. This is very uplifting and highly recommended. Release stresses, removes emotional baggage. The POWERFUL RADIANT ANGELIC ENERGIES are a joy to behold. A life changing session.
BLESSING MOTHER EARTH 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 for greater ease and flow.
This meditation is delightful to experience and raises your vibration to a very high level. You will likely find yourself nicely energised from this meditation.
Finishing with:
DEEP SAVASANA RELAXATION WITH A PRANIC ENERGY 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.
Relax deeply as your energy body is cleansed and refreshed with Pranic Healing.
These sessions are free, although we welcome donations according to your means. 100% of donations go to a local good cause.
By making a donation you’ll be gaining more good karma and helping a local good cause (The Hornbeam Cafe - local food bank).

Candle Lit Yang & Yindalini with Yoga Nidra
Description
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.

JOIN US FOR FULL MOON_
A cross-cultural ritual, celebrating and connecting with each other and self.
The Hunter’s Moon, the moon that follows the Harvest Moon, which is the moon that follows the Autumnal Equinox.
These names are not derived of folklore, as other Full Moons, but are tied to the tides of our solar cycles - the long cycle or full cycle. And the Hunter’s Moon is more than symbolic, it is the recognition of the coming winter. It is a direct and primal reminder to take care of what is needed to last out the cold months.
The Cree called this the Migration Moon, observing the time when birds start to fly south to warmer places.
The Hunter’s Moon is also in observance of the Wolf and Fox who become bolder and more active as the winter colds draw in.
We gather together for warmth and to take recognition of life on Earth, moved by cycles and tides, attuning to our circadian rhythms and larger migratory cycles, as a natural response to natural shifts - the seasons.
It is a time to gather your resources and make provisions for the coming season. Turning your attention to the coming months to make the most of your harvest. Shaping and taking this into your daily life.
Despite the streetlights, between the alarm clock and the thermostat, the electric light and the supermarket trips, can you feel into the shift -and pause into what it can mean for you?
A cross-cultural ritual and gathering to help remind us of the connection_
__
The gathering_
Himalayan Kriya Yoga with Swagatika. The mystic and secret traditions of Kriya Yoga were passed by teacher to student through initiation, and even today Kriya yoga is seldom practiced in studio settings, and yet they have been central as the most potent aspects of yoga practices. The ancient seers of India (rishis) perceived these practices of spirit to be a powerful way to connect with source and the self-realisation of the godhead. Kriya was re-introduced after nearly 2,000 years by a Himalayan mystic known only as Babaji.
_
Yoga Nidra with Basia. Yoga Nidra is the practice of going into yogic trance through a guided or self-guided portal within the body. Through the practice of Nidra the body can find deep rest, the recharge and repair and whilst in Trance, the mind or the spirit can go wander. The Nidra for the Hunter’s Moon will be written with shamanic symbolism and story journeying, for insight, direct inner connection and guidance.
_
Sound Journey with David. David is a composer and producer and in 2022 produced a 50 minute semi-composed, semi-improvised sound journey for Yoga in the Stars community. David returns with the second part, using piano, synths and sound samples to create pathways to deep journeying in non-ordinary states.
