Some traditional vinyasa flow, with Rocket style creative freedom to help you to ground, align and find connection to yourself for the day ahead. A slow flow start setting a calm tone for the week.

Join for Foundations of Yoga as 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 slow, deeply intentional, 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.
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.

Early Hours

Join Rakesh as part of our series 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.

4 ounces to move 1000 pounds_

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.

Book now for this session to explore movement and breath from a new angle.

By appointment only.

The session includes the practices of asana (yoga postures), pranayama (breathing exercises), and meditation to develop physical and mental stillness. The goal of Integral yoga is to become aware of the (non-dogmatic) Divine, to integrate the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of ourselves, and to manifest the Divine on earth.

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.

A 75 minute gentle and full-body regenerative session.

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.

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 Playful Vinyasa is a session to help you casually explore the edges of your practice, with a lot of proprioceptive cues focused on the sensation of the body. We will primarily explore the ideas and sensations of what happens at the boundaries of our movements, so the moment the stretch reflex contracts against a movement or how it shifts from one part of your body to the next as we flow, and how we move past that space into deeper ranges of motion.

MOVING TOWARD WHOLENESS
through NON-ORDINARY STATES of CONSCIOUSNESS

Grof® Breathwork, also referred to as Holotropic Breathwork, is known for its deeply transformational insights as it takes you into expanded (or non-ordinary) states of consciousness, induced only by breath and music.

Grof® / Holotropic Breathwork is highly experiential work developed by pioneering psychiatrist, Stanislav Grof MD. Ph.D., together with his late wife, Christina Grof at the Esalen Institute in California in the 1970's.

Yoga in the Stars is delighted to be hosting our fifth, DOUBLE Grof® Breathwork since being the first to re-launch this experience in London in September 2023, hosting senior facilitators from across the globe.

Join our visiting facilitator, Francesc Guinart, from Spain. More information below.

The deeply immersive experience will allow you to participate as a breather twice across the weekend, with preparation and integration to support your journey towards wholeness.
Grof® (holotropic) Breathwork is recommended for those interested in personal and spiritual growth through deep inner exploration. Stan Grof’s concept is that the wisdom of our 'inner healer' will direct us and bring to our consciousness what is best and most healing for us, at any given moment.

THE METHOD
The facilitation consists of 2 x Holotropic Grof® Breathwork sessions where the participants are lying with eyes closed, using the power of their own breath and evocative music to enter a Non-Ordinary State of Consciousness (NOSC) and 2 x "Sitter" sessions, where participants support the breather through their journey. A promisingly profound experience of trust and surrender.
Such states are shown to activate our innate inner wisdom, bringing healing, release and/ or insight.
We honour the 3 guidelines of any work with holotropic states: The Preparation. The Experience. And the Integration, of the experience

YOUR LEAD FACILITATOR
Francesc Guinart is a dedicated advocate for self-discovery and deep personal connection. From an early age, yoga and breathwork profoundly shaped his life, leading him on a path of introspection and transformation that now allows him to guide others on their own journeys.

Based in Spain, Francesc has trained with esteemed masters in disciplines such as Caycedian Sophrology, Holotropic Breathwork®, non-dual philosophy, and sacred plant therapies. Since 2008, he has been supporting therapeutic processes, integrating both microdoses and macrodoses of sacred plants alongside the MindDetox Method, a therapeutic approach designed to release deep-seated stress and anxiety.

In addition to organising Holotropic Breathwork® workshops, he has been leading silent retreats since 2018, providing participants with a space to explore their inner world, heal, and reconnect with their most authentic essence. His approach is rooted in integral attention, addressing the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of each individual. Believing in the transformative power of silence and deep reflection, Francesc creates opportunities for participants to release what no longer serves them and embrace new possibilities.

His retreats offer a sacred pause—a chance to step back, realign, and reconnect with one’s centre. He is committed to accompanying others on this profound journey of self-exploration and healing
