Description
The beginning of the class will allow you to create a space for reconnection with your inner Self through opening meditation and pranayama (breath extension), which should remain as a part of your practice for the rest of the session. Towards the end, you can expect a grounding sequence in order to slow down the breath and reflect on your experience on the mat.
This session is truly for everyone, all genders, ages and abilities.
The slow and graceful pace of the class will help you to learn how to listen to your body and gain the strength, not just physically, but mentally in the first place.
Everyone in this class is usually encouraged to use the yoga props along with trying many adjustments which are always offered to take in order to explore our boundaries and find the edges.
This Yoga practice is about quieting 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.
Every session is a different experience.

Tai Chi with Adrian Ling

Tai Chi with Adrian Ling

Description
What is tai chi ?
Perhaps the black and white pattern in a circle like 2 fishes chasing each other or yin and yang comes to one’s mind. …….
“ Si Liang Bo qian Jin “ is a Chinese saying : using 4 ounces strength to move a 1000 pounds weight. This saying is frequently heard in Tai Chi classes around the globe.
This concept is not about one’s size, or even if your opponent is stronger than you are. It is about using tai chi concepts in practical life application.
With this concept we are dealing with “live weight” or moving object, and by applying leverage. But using mind and intent and NOT force.
_
My name is Adrian Ling, I learned tai chi when I was young, from the old master back in Malaysia. I began to take tai chi more seriously for the last 5 to 6 years. And been teaching in community centres, libraries and among friends and families.
I like to introduce the basic tai chi and qi gong to our community, both for wellness and physical health .
We will be working towards learning forms. Eg. Yang style 8, 16, 24, 32 forms.
Or Chen style 18 forms.
These will come to light more when we are physically there. The forms are the building blocks of tai chi.
And tai chi can be translated as : The supreme ultimate.

The Holotropic Series The Soul's Earthquakes: Tremors & Somatic Liberation Online

Description
This session is experiential, and the exercise will not be distributed as we need to be present with you.
Earthquakes of the Soul: Tremors & Somatic Liberation
There are moments when words fall short—and the body starts to speak.
This session explores the spontaneous, often surprising language of neurogenic tremors and bioenergetic release, particularly as they appear in Holotropic states and related somatic practices.
Long before we put trauma into words, the body holds it. And sometimes, the most profound healing comes not from analysis, but from a subtle, involuntary shudder.
Guided by an experienced facilitator, this session includes a live, online practice—offering participants a safe, accessible introduction to neurogenic trembling, without force, manipulation, or intense activation.
We'll start with a short theoretical overview followed by gentle preparatory stretching and an experiential session designed to softly invite psoas-based release and subtle energetic unlocking.
These tremors are not something we “do”—they’re something we allow. As Grof observed, in non-ordinary states of consciousness, the psyche has its own self-regulating wisdom. This work honours that wisdom through the body.
We’ll explore how tremors arise in Holotropic Breathwork, why they’re often misunderstood or suppressed, and how they can support deeper integration, especially when working with COEX systems, birth matrices, or energetic discharge.
No previous experience needed—just curiosity, a bit of floor space, and the willingness to shake loose what no longer serves.
ABOUT THE SERIES:
The Holotropic Series: Psyche Snacks for Holotropic Hungry
What actually happens when we access non-ordinary states of consciousness (NOSC)? And why does it so often feel like the body knows the way, long before the mind catches up?
The Holotropic Series is a collection of bite-sized webinars exploring the fascinating terrain of Holotropic and Grof Breathwork (and psychedelic therapy?) and the revolutionary cartography of the psyche developed by Dr. Stanislav Grof—psychiatrist, LSD researcher, and quite possibly the Carl Jung of expanded states.
Whether you're completely new to this work or you've already hyperventilated your way into the cosmos and back, this series offers intelligent, experiential, and surprisingly down-to-earth insights into what makes Grof’s approach to NOSC so unique. We explore the principles, patterns, and poetic messiness of the deep psyche: from COEX systems to neurogenic tremors, energetic yawns, and the mysterious intelligence that moves us in non-ordinary states.
This isn’t therapy as you know it—it’s a reunion with your inner healer on its own terms. You’ll also meet some of the trusted facilitators, peers and fellow travellers who are bringing this work to life across the UK and Europe—each with their own unique lens on the mapless territory of expanded states.

He is a trained Mindfulness Teacher, Integrative Transpersonal Counsellor and Grofian Psychedelic Psychotherapist.

Francesc organises and leads workshops and silent retreats, offering spaces for deep rest, healing, and reconnection with the authentic self. His work draws on integral attention to the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of being. Grounded in the power of silence and reflection, his retreats create a sacred pause—supporting participants to release what no longer serves and move toward greater wholeness.

Integral Wake Up

Description
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.

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.

Heathcote & Star, 344 Grove Green Road, Green Grove Room

Nād Yog (the Yoga of Sound) - Becoming “Kīrtan” with Kiran SKG Cancelled

Description
Containing breathing, meditations, mantra, voice activation, as well as essential physical practices as a means to activate and prepare the system for deeper experiences. Everything in this session works towards building a relationship with the subtle rhythms and melodies of life itself, helping to become our own Guru.
Based on Gurmat traditions, engaging and unifying the body, mind and energy, this is a participatory workshop, taking the act of listening from cerebral intellect to inner knowing in order to explore dimensions within, towards the goal of emotional and mental self-mastery.
Breath is highly important to yoga practices as it is the source of prana (vital energy) for the body and can be harnessed as the bridge to connect the mind and the body together. Sound yoga comes from the concept of “Ek Onkar” the primordial vibration AUM - a resonance which exists in all as manifested oneness. These sessions with Kiran help you to connect with omnipresence through voice, bansuri (bamboo flute), and dilruba (bowed sitar).
