RESET is a movement practice blending somatic techniques, contemporary dance, disco, and improvisation, designed to guide participants through a transformative journey. 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.

YIN YOGA MASTERCLASS
with ZO RAHM
Sat, November 23, 2024
4:15 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.
£30
Indulge in a deep relaxation in Zo Rahm’s Yin Yoga masterclass!
As the days grow colder and shorter, it’s the perfect time to turn inward and nurture. Yin yoga is a slow-paced and meditative style of yoga that focuses on deep stretching and relaxation. It involves holding a series of passive, floor-based yoga poses for an extended period of time, ranging from 3 to 5 minutes or even longer.
We will start the workshop with a short grounded pranayama (breathing) practice, paving the way for long-held yin poses.
This session is designed to balance the yang-driven pace of London life and guide you to find inner calm as you surrender to soothe the nervous-system. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced practitioner, this workshop is open to all levels.

A workshop to improve your sleep quality, increase your happiness and immune function!
Ayurveda is an Ancient wisdom tradition that has been at the fore-front of natural medicine in India and Sri Lanka for over 5,000 years.

WORKSHOP: Take Flight
with FRANCESCO MAZZETTI & JULES METZGES
Sat, November 30, 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.
POP UP CLASS: Inversion series – handstand
with CHARLI LIVINGSTONE
Fri, December 6, 2024

Change your perspective and join us with this playful and empowering inversion series. In this journey towards getting upside down, you will build strength, mobility, alignment, body awareness and courage to prepare for inversions. Suitable for beginner to more advanced, although some experience with yoga or another movement practice is recommended.
In this series we will work with headstand (Sirsasana), Forearm stand (Pincha Mayurasana) and Handstands (Vrksasana).
Each 90 minute pop up class will include a thorough warm-up, strength and conditioning drills, working with and without the wall, partners and props. We will have plenty of time to break down technique and alignment of each inversion that you may later bring to your yoga practice.
Come with an open mind and playful spirit, and get ready to see the world from upside down!

Did you know we take over 20,000 breaths a day? Yet most of us aren’t breathing well and are only using a third of our entire respiratory system!
When we’re not breathing to our full potential, we’re also not living to our full potential… since breath is quite literally life. Change the way you breathe, change the way you live!

- Emotional regulation
- Increases creativity
- Feeling relaxed & calmer
- Increased feelings of joy & inner peace
What to expect:
We’ll begin with a short introduction, talk about the benefits and Brenna will demonstrate the technique so you feel fully prepared before starting the practice. We’ll move our bodies to some music to open up the breath. You’ll then get cosy on the mat, set your intention and be guided through a simple yet profound breathwork journey which will include hands on acupressure, sound, movement and positive affirmations.
Sink further into the mat for 15 mins relaxation at the end to help integrate your experience and anything that may have arisen in the session.
We will close with an (optional) opportunity to connect with fellow participants and share your experience.

Mandala vinyasa is a rhythmic and cyclical practice, in which we move 360’ around the mat. Each class will explore a specific theme and/or intention, and this will inspire the way we move and reflect.

FULL MOON GONG BATH
with SHIRA HESS
Fri, November 15, 2024

£25
The full moon is a particularly potent time. You might find that you are feeling things more strongly, or not sleeping so well. A sound bath is the perfect antidote. Relaxing and releasing, you will be able to process what’s going on and harness the power of sound to pierce through any resistance, inertia, stress or anxiety.
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 Rest and Digest nervous system.
Come to go on a sonic journey of the imagination and through deep awakening rest, strengthen your resolve for the month ahead and connect to your most authentic intuition.
There will be nothing that you will need to do, just come ready to lie down and relax in this safe space and let your heart/mind roam free.
Tea is included in the end to ground you before you head home.
Open to all, no previous experience of yoga or meditation required.
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.

YOGA FOR LABOUR & BIRTH

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.

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

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.

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
9 videos
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)
