POP UP MANDALA VINYASA – WOOD
with SARA LAWLOR
Fri, April 19, 2024
6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
£19*
A 90 minute Mandala special – exploring the season of Spring and the element of Wood. Through meditation, breathwork, mandala vinyasa and yin to close, we will energetically clear out, freshen up and plant our seeds of intention! In TCM, the wood element relates to the Liver – which some consider to be ’the grand architect’ for our vision and dreams of the future.
Spring, and the element of Wood, represents growth and renewal, the inner voice encouraging us to get out there, open our windows to the fresh spring air, step into our dreams and bloom!
This pop up class is part of a larger 5-part Mandala Vinyasa series focused on the 5 elements of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) – Water, Metal, Wood, Earth and Fire.
Mandala Vinyasa is fluid, cyclical and intention-led. You can expect a well rounded practice that explores guided meditation, breath-work, mandala vinyasa and yin or restorative practices to close. This is a beautiful opportunity and space to dedicate a longer chunk of time to your practice, and journey into the world of Mandala.
*The class is included in all memberships and class packs.
BETA & THETA: 4-beat to gong
with ZO RAHM & JORDAN CROWLEY
Sat, April 20, 2024
4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
£30
Join Zo Rahm and Jordan Crowley for an afternoon of 4-beat yoga and a sound bath.
The session begins with a 75-minute 4-beat yoga led by Zo Rahm. 4-beat yoga is a dynamic vinyasa flow inspired by the rocket yoga system, focusing on aligning the breath with slow rhythmic beat of the music. After the uplifting energetic 4-beat practice, Jordan will guide you through an immersive sound bath featuring gongs and sound bowls to bring you down.
Sound has a profound impact on wellbeing and the nervous system. It can reduce stress and anxiety by promoting relaxation and positive emotions. Music can stimulates the release of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin, which contribute to feelings of pleasure and happiness.
All levels are welcome.
Surrender to the sound.
TAKE FLIGHT
withv JULES METZGES & FRANCESCO MAZZETTI
Sat, April 27, 2024
4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
£35
In a Vinyasa Yoga Flow class it might be intimidating to try arm balances and we might feel that we don’t have enough guidance but learning to balance on our arms can be empowering and bring us to a deep state of focus.
This workshop is for anyone who wants to start developing skills in arm balances and take flight on the mat! We will look at the technique, flexibility and strength required for different arm balances like the Bakasana family (crow, one legged crow, side crow) Eka Pada Kounandyasana (flying splits), Astavakrasana (eight-angle pose), Pincha Mayourasana (forearm balance) etc. and start to build confidence in these postures or take your very first steps.
The workshop is not suitable for complete beginners to the yoga asana practice.

Simple joys – vinyasa flow, restorative, yoga nidra
with ISABELL BRITSCH
Sun, May 12, 2024
4:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
£35
Yoga helps us to remember what we already know, our true nature, which is essentially joyful and peaceful. – Donna Farhi
Joy – mudita in sanskrit or pali – is a quality that has been mentioned regularly in the ancient wisdom traditions. It supports a more positive outlook on life, and gives rise to states of ease, resilience, appreciation, gratitude, and contentment.
We start with a short reflection on joy and how to invite it into our life. This thread is then woven through an energetic, fiery vinyasa flow sequence guided by the breath. We’ll cultivate strength and mobility in equal measure, explore a variety of transitions, meet challenges and have fun.
We then shift from active to passive, releasing deeper tension in the body and mind through a series of long, delicious, restorative postures. We conclude with a deep guided relaxation (Yoga Nidra).
Treat yourself to this 3 hour mini-retreat, leave with body, heart and mind rested and balanced, and with renewed inspiration to meet the ever changing rhythm of life.
Part of a series of workshops with the same structure, yet constantly evolving themes. For everyone apart from complete beginners.

with SARA LAWLOR
Fri, June 7, 2024
6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
£19*
A 90 minute Mandala special. Summer relates to the element of Fire, and fire is all about JOY! It’s a time of love, community, socialising, feeling energised and uplifted.
The Fire element, when in balance, gives us the ability to give and receive with love. To be in our most authentic, confident and expressive selves. It’s time to step into the joy body. In this session you can expect a joyful 90 minutes of mandala vinyasa to harness the energy of summer and remind yourself of your inner fire.
In TCM, the fire element relates to the heart and small intestine – so on a physical level we will explore heart openers and twists to create space and build heat.

SUTRA FLOW
with SHIRA HESS
Fri, June 21, 2024
6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
£25
Sutra – a thread, an aphorism, a short verse encapsulating a whole teaching.
In this Friday session we will weave together threads from the Tantric texts Shiva Sutras and the Vatulanatha Sutras – Sutras of the wild master – (latter only very recently accessible, and both translated by Christopher Wallis) into a moving practice, revealing and experiencing these dense teachings through the body.
In a meditative, slow vinyasa practice inspired by a selection of verses and their commentary, we will feel into the deep meaning contained within the texts somatically. Closing with a longer savasana accompanied by sound healing, will allow the practice and the verses to sink in, and deeply relax and sooth.
This is not an intellectual exercise, but a unique opportunity to steep yourself in 1000-year-old yoga linage that captures life with all its complexity so profoundly. It also points towards a way to experience life more fully, more courageously, and free from conditioning.
Come to discover ancient texts through the physical practice and tap into the all-encompassing power of yoga!

Sat, May 11, 2024

This yoga workshop is designed for pregnant women and their birth partner, to prepare for labour and birth. It will give you a range of tools to help you feel confident and knowledgeable in your ability to birth your baby or support your partner during this special and sometimes uneasy time.

Being able to practice all this in advance means that you feel prepared, knowing what to do when the time comes, without having to think about it!
What we’ll discuss and practice:
- stages of labour and physiology of birth
- breathing practices for labour and for birthing your baby
- physical postures to help the flow of labour and for birthing your baby more comfortably
- restorative postures, self-massage and partner massage for relaxation
- mindful meditation practices to help reduce worries, doubts and concerns
The three-hour session will include a short break giving you an opportunity to meet with other parents to be. You will also be given a handout recapping the tools covered and a recording of the mindful meditation practises to
download.
This workshop is suitable for all pregnant couples, whether you’re a first-time parent, a parent to four kids, an experienced practitioner or totally new to yoga! Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

YOGA AND QIGONG SERIES
with JAYNE MILLER
6 videos
All levels
£12
Yoga and Qigong weave together beautifully. Both can be flowing forms, helping us to tap into and use our energy, and yet instil a deep inner calmness. Yoga can often seem linear (e.g. Sun Salutations) with an emphasis on extension and strong asana, while Qigong movements are often softer, circular and rhythmic, with a big emphasis on grounding.
Qigong practices are closely linked to five elements and in turn these relate to seasons as well as organ systems within our bodies, to bring us into harmonious balance with ourselves and our environment. The five elements of Qigong do not correspond exactly with the five elements of yoga, but together they help us find our natural balanced state.
These six short practices embrace the rich backgrounds and traditions of both and introduce you to the five elements of Qigong. Close the series with a meditation and breathing practice focused on the middle and the lower dantian (energy points).
The videos can be practised together, individually, whenever as you please.

The practice of Metta Bhavana has 5 stages, in which Metta is cultivated towards: ourselves, a good friend, a ‘neutral’ person, someone we find difficult and finally all beings.

with FLORENTINA LAM-CLARK

The Chakra Energy System is an organised system that operates in the Pranamaya Kosha, or energy body, through which prana, the vital life-force, flows. This is where the health of our energetic, emotional, mental, psychological and spiritual being is integrated, expressed and reflected. When we feel vitalised and vibrant, our emotions are balanced, and energy levels feel abundant. When we are feeling stressed out, pushed to the limit, this is reflected in poor energy and health. Each energy centre is a sphere of information, with qualities and characteristics relating to health and wellbeing. Through meditation and reflection, we can tune in and tap into the inherent wisdom within and connect to their positive attributes.
Meditation is a wonderful way of getting to know and tune into the vibrational energy of the chakras. In this series, you will find a meditation on each individual chakra, that will guide you through their specific qualities and traits. There is also a complete chakra meditation to practice.
Bundle content:
Part 1: Introduction (11:24)
