Power through and let yourself go in this strong, dynamic and creative yoga session set to a soundtrack of deep grooves and beats specially mixed for the occasion. Let off some steam, sweat and flow, and kick off your Saturday evening feeling elated!
The music will be a bit louder, the lights a bit dimmer, so you can lose yourself in a vinyasa flow practice and on a musical journey, like a dance on the mat, ending with a deep, long relaxation.
Tea and a little snack will be offered at the end.
Open to all levels, although not recommended for complete beginners.

Join Kate for this 2 hour magical and nourishing workshop.
Drawing inspiration and wisdom from the Bhagavad Gita, the great yogic text this workshop will use yogic techniques and practices to tap into the seat of the witness supporting you to move beyond the mind chatter to a state of awareness and cultivate a sense of ease and freedom.
Expect fun creative and dynamic asana with special emphasis to the earth element to support the transition into vata season, the darker months – allowing you to embrace the cycle of letting go, rest, and rejuvenation as the turning of the wheel into autumn continues.
We will use pranayama to steady the mind and a healthy dose of meditation to develop integration of the inner being and awareness to the ‘witness’.

Menopause involves huge physical and psychological changes. It’s a time of increased sensitivity and vulnerability, and women often feel unsettling levels of intensified anxiety, overwhelm and fatigue. Fluctuating hormones are largely the cause, yet stressful life circumstances are also a trigger. We simply don’t have the energy to continue giving out while our menopause transformation is underway.
This workshop offers guidance, reflection and support to help you move through your menopause journey with ease and confidence. We will look at the underlying causes of increased anxiety, overwhelm and fatigue during menopause, you will be offered a toolkit of techniques for reducing stress and restoring balance in your nervous system, and we will explore ways to lean in to the menopause experience for it’s potential for growth and renewal as you cross the threshold into a new season of life.
This workshop provides an enjoyable and safe space where women can come together and share their experiences, laugh and embrace the changes while also learning from one another. Practising yoga in the company of other women can feel supportive and reminds us that we are NOT alone.
Beginners to experienced yoga students are all welcome.
The workshop will include:
• An introduction to the stages of menopause and how hormone changes
affect our body and mind.
• A safe and supportive women’s circle.
• A yoga practice especially designed to alleviate anxiety, overwhelm and fatigue, including breathing techniques, gentle vinyasa flow, restorative yoga and mindful
meditation practices.
• Journaling and self reflection.
• Handouts.

The pelvic floor – we all have one, but how many of us know what it looks like, what it does and how to look after it? Pelvic health can often be overlooked until we encounter an issue, be it post natal recovery, pelvic pain, bladder weakness, prolapse, digestive, menstrual and sexual difficulties and so on. This 2-part workshop will support you whether you are going through a current pelvic health issue, or are simply curious to find out how to best support a happy, healthy pelvis.
Although helpful, no previous yoga experience is required. Open to all genders.
PART 1 – Hello Pelvic Floor!
Fri, October 20, 6:30pm – 8:00pm
In the first session we will look at anatomy, followed by subtle experiential movements to awaken our understanding of this often ignored area of the body. We will then locate, assess, soften, stretch, strengthen and exercise the muscle groups of the pelvic floor with simple yoga poses and breathwork. We will also bust some pelvic health myths – such as, are Kegels really such a great ‘fix all’?
Handouts will be provided, including ‘homework’ for further pelvic connection.
PART 2 – Restoring Pelvic Balance
Sat, October 21, 2:00pm – 3:30pm
In the second part of the workshop we will build on our learning and understanding from the first session to further explore the application of yoga to pelvic health. With the legs below and the ‘core’ above, the pelvis is the physical and energetic fulcrum of the body. When there is imbalance in the pelvic area this shows up in our breathing, posture and movement habits. Our yoga practice gives us a way not only to connect to our pelvis but to rebalance and support our pelvic health. By mindfully relaxing, strengthening and stabilising the pelvic floor we can increase flexibility, strength, and coordination of our pelvic function, and bring greater cohesion between the pelvis and the rest of the body.
Handouts will be provided with key postures for pelvic health.

“Yoga is like music: the rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind, and the harmony of the soul create the symphony of life”. — B.K.S. Iyengar.
BKS Iyengar often compared the practice of yoga to music. Each part of us has to be involved in a posture, just as each instrument in an orchestra needs to play its part. This doesn’t come straight away, as beginners we need to practice our scales (I consider myself a beginner!) but as our practice evolves we can also begin to bring the components together harmoniously. As a teacher I’ve learnt to spot when there is dissonance and I’ll share with you some of the common discords and how we can make a posture feel more ‘right’.
This time round the focus will be on standing poses.At least 18 months of regular Iyengar practice is required.

Join Isabell for an extended practice balancing the opposite aspects of our being – the yin and the yang, the active and passive, the sun and the moon…
We start with a short reflection on how body and mind unite opposing qualities and how that relates to yoga philosophy.
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, reach into opposite plains of movement, twist and turn, explore challenges and have fun.
We then shift from active to passive releasing deeper tension in the body and mind through a series of longer held restorative postures. We conclude with a deep guided relaxation (Yoga Nidra) to bring about complete physical, mental and emotional ease.
Come and treat yourself to this 3 hour workshop – a little mini-retreat in the busyness of daily life, an opportunity to reset and refresh, and leave with body and mind deeply rested and balanced.
For everyone apart from complete beginners.
At Yogahome we host a variety of sound based events and practices. Join one of our seasonal Gong Baths, our monthly New Moon sound baths or one of our Cacao Ceremonies & Sound Bath events.

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.

Come and take part in a journey through the chakras, facilitated by ceremonial cacao, breathwork, meditation and a sound bath. Bathe in the transcendent and ethereal soundwaves to rest and relax deeply. Emerge feeling calm, nourished and renewed on all levels of being.
The chakras are hubs of energy that make up a highly organised system of subtle energy that receives, transmits and allows life force to flow through all parts of the mind, body, heart and spirit.
Both cacao ceremonies and sound baths connect with the electro-magnetic forces of the body, for a profound therapeutic effect that soothes, calms, relaxes, and resets the nervous and energy system.
The event is the perfect antidote to stress, worry, lack of energy and sleep problems. Repair and healing of the body can only take place when we are in a state of relaxation.
The intention of this event is to relax, harmonise and balance our energy, increase vitality and feel a heightened sense of wellbeing.
What to expect:
Coming together with cacao and sound healing helps our energy fields to harmonise and raise our vibration, through what is known as “resonant entrainment”, with calm, peace and happiness.
We use raw ceremonial graded cacao in the ceremony. This is raw chocolate made from cacao beans that are untampered
and unadulterated. Prepared with water, oat milk and maple syrup, the blend is suitable for vegans.
This event is suitable for all experiences. Tea will be served at the end to gently ease you back ground you.

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.

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:
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.
We recommend you both wear something comfortable and loose fitting, and bring a favourite blanket along!

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 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.
This series is suitable to beginners and those with a more established practice alike.

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.
