Mandala Vinyasa Workshop: Flow Into Winter
with SARA LAWLOR
Fri, January 24, 2025
6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
£28
Join Sara on Friday 24th January for a 2 hour workshop designed to embrace the season of winter and explore the element of water.
Water reflects the depth and flow of life, and according to Traditional Chinese Medicine, is related to the season of winter – the most yin time of year. Water is the strongest of all the elements yet it’s also the softest. This is a powerful time to remind ourselves that we can remain in the flow, lean into creativity and stay consistent, even when it’s colder and darker, and there is a call for more rest and introspection. By looking after ourselves in the winter, we ensure that when spring arrives, we can bloom with renewed energy.
This nourishing evening workshop will explore guided meditation and reflection, creative mandala vinyasa based around the water element and TCM meridian theory sprinkled throughout. The practice will close with yin and deep rest, to integrate and cultivate inner stillness.
Exploring Prana Vayu – vinyasa flow, restorative, yoga nidra
with ISABELL BRITSCH
Sunday, February 2, 2025
4:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
£35
The breath in yogic philosophy is the carrier of prana, the subtle energy that governs vitality and movement in the body. In Daoism this energy is called chi (air or spirit), in ancient Rome it is called anima.
This life-giving energy moves in the body in five different directions, each connected to a different area of the body: the 5 Prana Vayus. Working with and feeling the Prana Vayus supports a state of balance in the body, heart and mind.
The theme of Prana Vayu is woven through an energetic, fiery vinyasa flow sequence guided by the breath. We then shift from active to passive and restorative, and conclude with a deep guided relaxation (Yoga Nidra).
Treat yourself to this 3 hour mini-retreat, and leave with body, heart and mind energised, rested and balanced.Part of a series of workshops with the same structure, yet constantly evolving themes. For everyone apart from complete beginners.
RESET: A MOvement Workshop
with GALIT CRIDEN
Friday, February 7, 2025

Rooted in somatic and release techniques and guided by music, RESET offers a joyful space for exploration. The sessions are fast-paced yet grounded, combining fun with a holistic approach to embodiment and mindful listening.
Galit’s goal as a facilitator is to nurture a deep connection to oneself and one’s sensations, encouraging participants to move freely and share their experience in a joyful, supportive environment. Rosalind, an Ilan Lev Method practitioner, co-facilitates the first part of the workshop, bringing her expertise in improving mobility, relieving tension, and fostering deeper self-connection.
The workshop is open to individuals 18+ with or without prior dance experience. It lasts 1.5 hours, and participants should wear comfortable clothing and be prepared to dance barefoot or in socks.
Ayurveda & Yoga Workshop:
Raise Your Ojas
with FLORENTINA LAM-CLARK
Sunday, February 23, 2025
3:00 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.
£32
In Ayurveda Ojas means vigour. It is the vibrant, animating and energizing life force that nourishes and sustains all the tissues (dhatus) of the body. It is the vital essence responsible for the generation of heightened levels of physical and emotional health and wellbeing. Without it we feel lack-lustre, low on energy and our immune system can become depleted.
It can be tough getting through the British Winter. By the end of February, energy reserves are often low and the immune system takes a battering with coughs, colds and flu. Perhaps you are feeling the strain and lacking a bit of oomph and sparkle? Then this is the workshop for you.
Come and enter a beautiful, calm atmosphere where you can relax, release tensions, tiredness, worries and be nourished and nurtured.
In this workshop we will harness the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda with simple yet highly effective practices, to strengthen your immune system, raise your mood, and elevate your outlook on life. Come and taste delicious immune boosting herbal teas and tonics, gain knowledge of immune building essential oils, and the use of culinary herbs and spices to keep your digestive system strong. You will be able to sail through the rest of Winter, feeling robust, resilient and happy!
Discover and learn about Ayurveda, including
- Ojas tonics and foods
- Herbs and spices that support digestion
- Rasayanas – nutritional and herbal remedies
- Essential oils to support the immune system
Explore and Experience:
- Breathing techniques to soothe your nervous system
- Calming yoga practice to restore body and mind
- Blissful sounds of Tibetan & Crystal singing bowls
This immersive workshop is open to all and offers a unique blend of herbal knowledge, essential oils, breath work, calming yoga practice and a healing sound bath. Emerge feeling lighter, brighter, rejuvenated and inspired to use Ayurveda in your life.
All participants will receive the notes from the workshop and a gift.

GONG BATH FOR THE WINTER SOLSTICE
with ALESSANDRA MARGARITO
Fri, December 20, 2024
6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
£25
Experience the meditative and healing wonders of sound with this special Gong bath for the Winter Solstice!
Join Alessandra to celebrate the end to the dark days of winter and the beginning to longer, lighter days and to all the joys that are just around the corner.
All you need do is turn up and lie down, and be bathed in the sounds and vibrations of the gong, a sacred instrument that has been used for thousands of years for the purpose of healing.
There is a science behind this experience. The gong’s sounds and vibrations create an alpha brainwave state, where mental activity includes daydreaming and imagination. This is then followed by a theta brainwave state, where activity includes sleep, dreaming and deep meditation.
Theta brainwave frequencies are most often where the gongs will take you. Even though you still feel present, you have entered a dreamlike, deep meditative state. Theta is a good state of consciousness to be in for healing to occur.
Even though there is a science behind sound therapy, this special experience can also be explained by quoting Kabir’s Ecstatic Poems translated by Robert Bly:
‘…..near your breastbone there’s an open flower. Drink the honey that is all around that flower. Waves are coming in: there’s so much magnificence near the ocean! Listen: sound of big seashells! Sound of bells!’
Open to all. Tea served at the end.
NEW MOON GONG BATH
with SHIRA HESS
Fri, January 31, 2025
6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

Join Shira on a sonic journey of the imagination. Through deep awakening rest, strengthen your resolve for the month ahead and connect to your most authentic intuition.
The new moon symbolises new beginnings and is an optimal time to reflect on and reset our intentions. In this event we harness the power of sound to pierce through any resistance, inertia, stress or anxiety and release that which is burdensome.
Gong, crystal and singing bowls, bells and drums will create a unique soundscape to make you feel refreshed and relaxed and to deeply nourish the nervous system.

YOGA FOR LABOUR & BIRTH
with ANN COLLINS-ACKROYD
Sat, February 22, 2025
2:45 p.m. - 5:45 p.m.
£80
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 calm, quiet and relaxed can optimise the release of hormones crucial to labour and birth. Learning how to breath and relax can help you maintain a state of inner calm, especially useful if you’re in a hospital setting. And various positions as well as gentle movement can help the flow of labour. 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!
We recommend you both wear something comfortable and loose fitting, and bring a favourite blanket along!

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.

METTA BHAVANA MEDITATION SERIES
with FLORENTINA LAM-CLARK

The practice of Metta Bhavana meditation (universal loving kindness) is the systematic cultivation of our capacity for loving kindness. This method helps us to feel more positive, accepting, kind, and patient toward ourselves, in order that we can be more compassionate and loving toward others. With practice, Metta flowers into compassion and equanimity.
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. Explore each stage in depth through the first 5 videos, and then put together the elements explored into a complete practice.

CHAKRA MEDITATION SERIES
with FLORENTINA LAM-CLARK

All levels
£12
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)
Part 2: Root Chakra (14:00)
Part 3: Sacral Chakra (11:31)
