A three-part course on three consecutive Sundays to learn and enjoy aromatherapy essentials for self-care and wellbeing! You can book for the whole course, or for each workshop individually.
SUNDAY 1 : Therapeutic aromatherapy for home remedies
The aim of this workshop is to equip you with information and knowledge about the therapeutic properties of essential oils and how to treat common ailments such as colds and flu and boost the immune system. You will learn how to apply essential oils in a variety of ways, how to blend at the correct dosage, how and when to use.

SUNDAY 2 : Aromatherapy for stress release
The use of nature’s plant essences in aromatherapy, have been shown to have positive effects in treating stress and anxiety and so are a valuable natural source of healing we can turn to. You will learn how essential oils can relax and de-sensitise a heightened nervous system and essential oils that are a nervous system tonic to strengthen and support where needed.
PRACTICAL OUTCOMES TO TAKE HOME: – Blend your own bath or shower salts – Make your own essential oil blend – Learn a hand/foot massage routine
SUNDAY 3 : Beauty and body care
You will learn how to make and create beauty products and blends that are naturally healthy for your skin and kind to the environment. 40% of what we out on our skin gets absorbed by the blood stream, it makes sense to use natural ingredients that our body can naturally process, we can turn to aromatherapy for our beauty needs safe in the knowledge that we know exactly what we are putting on our skin without toxic side-effects.
PRACTICAL OUTCOMES TO TAKE HOME: – Instructions and demo on how to make clay masks and body cleansers – Instructions and demo on how to make your own natural face scrub with oats & red rose petals – Instructions and demo on how to make your own toothbrush powder (natural toothpaste) – Blend your own face oil – Learn a face massage routine (moisturise, tone, heal)

STUDIO EVENT: Saturday Circle
with SHIRA HESS
Sat, September 11, 2021
3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
£20
The Saturday Circle is now for charity and we have revised the structure a little!
We are so moved by what is happening in Afghanistan and the impact on women, that we have decided to donate 100% of the proceeds from this event to charity. Both Shira and Yogahome will forgo their fees and your £20 will go directly to https://womenforwomen.org.uk/about-us/our-story who do amazing grassroots work with and for women in areas of crisis and conflict.
On Saturday we will come together to dive heart-first into all aspects of yoga, into the complete sadhana (practice), like a mini retreat!
The afternoon will weave together a flowing, carefully and creatively designed vinyasa practice, a short meditation, and a luxurious yoga nidra accompanied by the gong and crystal bowls for the ultimate relaxation.
Afterwards, you are invited to stay around and chat in the cafe if you like, over a tea and a sweet (healthy!) treat and feel the support of our sangha (community).
Come to strengthen your practice, deepen your rest and support important work for women who at serious risk right now.
Hope you can join us!
Open to all levels.

STUDIO EVENT: Gong bath
with ALESSANDRA MARGARITO
Fri, September17, 2021
6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
£20
A special event to experience the meditative and healing wonders of sound!
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.

STUDIO COURSE: Building resilience with mindfulness
with ISABELL BRITSCH
Thur, September 23 - October 14, 2021
6:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.
£80
Life is often complex and demanding and resilience is an essential skill to manage stress, and feel resourced and stable, regardless of our circumstances.
Resilience is the capacity to cope well with life’s inevitable challenges, and develop strategies to be adaptive, manage stress and reactivity, create solutions when faced with difficulties, look after ourselves, and connect to others in a meaningful way.
Over the course of 4 sessions we will explore practical tools, tips and coping strategies to deepen self-awareness, promote self-kindness, connect to inner strength, and build the trust in our inner support system to enhance our wellbeing.
The course will combine short lectures, guided meditation, self inquiry and group sharing and discussion.
We will explore how we can
• let things be – accept what’s here without rejection
• let go of what is not helpful – the worrying, self-critical or judgemental mind
• let in what is beneficial, uplifting and supportive
You will receive recordings of talks and practices to download, and these can become a basis for your own continued home practice.
We will work in a small group of 6 – 11 people to create a safe and inclusive space to explore and practice

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.

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)
