POP UP JOURNEY TO HANDSTAND – HANDSTAND WITH BACKBENDS
with CHARLI LIVINGSTONE
Fri, August 2, 2024
6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
£19*
Flip your perspective and take flight!
Backbends can be useful for the shoulder mobility and stability we need for handstands, and there are many fun possibilities when we combine the two, including shapes such as the “scorpion” and hollow-back. Whether you do the shapes or not isn’t so important, the fun is in the journey, and the strength and conditioning along the way!
This session is part of a broader series of practical handstand pop-up classes, built to prepare your body to get up-side down safely, building strength, stability and body awareness.
Learn techniques and mechanics of handstands, practice strength and mobility drills and have lots of playtime.
In these sessions you can expect to use props, including the wall, and to work with partners at times, to build towards a variety of handstands – whether you are just gaining the courage to get up-side down, or working towards holding a straight line or a press handstand.
*Included in all Studio/Full Memberships and Class Packs.

Yoga & Ayurveda: Agni – The Digestive Fire
with FLORENTINA LAM-CLARK
Sun, September 8, 2024
2:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.
£45
Come and explore the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda and look at ways we can support our gut health by exploring Agni, the digestive fire.
Recent research and clinical studies have found that 75% of our immunity starts in the gut, which means that this is where poor immune health and any digestive dysfunctions can be addressed.
Understanding the concept of Agni and how this functions, is key to solving imbalances. We will discover simple and practical applications of herbal tea preparations, culinary herbs and spices to improve and enhance digestion.
We will discover ways we can maximise on extracting and absorbing the nutrition from our food, and address some typical ailments that show up, such as gas, bloating, constipation, indigestion and heartburn.
In this workshop we will explore:
- Ayurvedic approach to good digestion
- How the 3 Doshas manifest in digestive function (Constitutions)
- What’s Your Digestive Dosha Questionnaire (Ama/Agni)
- Herbs and other good habits to aid digestion
- Pranayama Breathwork
- A Yoga Practice to aid healthy digestion
- End with a lovely sound bath in savasana to soothe and nourish your senses.
The aim of the workshop is that you will come away feeling inspired to use Ayurvedic top tips to manage digestive imbalances and leave feeling relaxed and refreshed.
All participants will receive the Ayurveda Agni Guide.

Sun, October 13, 2024
2:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
£35
In this workshop we look at the physiological understanding of what’s going on during peri-menopause and menopause, and the triggers that can aggravate the most common and intense symptoms, such as low mood, lethargy, sluggish digestion and lack of zest for life. We will practice yoga for soothing these unsettling symptoms and also get snuggled in with some deeply soothing guided Yoga Nidra meditation to explore the transformational
possibilities.
We will explore a toolkit of techniques, guidance, reflection and support to help you move through your menopause journey with ease and confidence. It will provide 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.
Tiffy has been trained in Menopause Yoga by Petra Coveney in offering holistic support to women navigating the challenges and the possibilities as they move through their own unique menopause journey.
No previous yoga experience is required.

CACAO CEREMONY – A JOURNEY THROUGH THE CHAKRAS
with FLORENTINA LAM-CLARK
Sun, October 27, 2024
3:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.
£32
Come and take part in a journey through the Chakras. You will be guided by Flo in a cacao ceremony, breath-work, meditation and a sound bath with Gong, crystal bowls and Himalayan singing bowls.
The Chakra Energy System is a highly organised structure that receives, transmits and allows life force to flow. The energy is distributed and circulated via the nadis (channels) to all organs and systems of the body, mind and heart. This is where the health of our energetic, emotional, mental, psychological and spiritual being is integrated, expressed and reflected.
We can think about the movement of energy like the movement of water through channels – they need to be clear for the water to flow through. If those channels are blocked the water becomes stagnant and has nowhere to go.
Each chakra is a storehouse of information, with qualities and characteristics relating to specific aspects of our growth and development. We can access this information through meditation, inquiry, reflection and deep rest.
What to expect:
- Breathwork
- Cacao Ceremony
- Chakra meditation
- Relaxing sound bath
What to bring
- Comfortable clothing
- Extra layers to be warm
- Optional cushion and extra blanket for added comfort
- Journal/paper and pen
The benefits of cacao, meditation and sound healing:
- Helps to release stored tension and stress
- Reduces anxiety, irritation and anger
- Helps to reset the nervous system to “relax, rest and digest” state of being
- Balances the immune system
- Helps to calm over-active adrenals
- Can help release pain
About the Cacao Ceremony
Raw ceremonial cacao is used in the ceremony. It is raw chocolate made from cacao beans that are untampered and unadulterated. Known as “the food of the Gods”, it is used in ceremony in many indigenous cultures. It is considered to be a superfood containing over 40 anti-oxidants and minerals. Prepared with water, oat milk and maple syrup, it is suitable for vegans. Cacao is conducive to meditation, as it has heart-expanding qualities that help to connect to our intuition and to receive inner guidance.
Pregnancy, Birth & Beyond
We run a variety of antenatal workshops and events.
From Hypnobirthing, to Yoga For Labour and Birth, from Women Circles to Day Retreats.
We also run 5-week Baby Massage courses, which run for 5 consecutive Tuesdays throughout the year.

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.

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.

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)
