Basia Zieniewicz
I am a fully qualified and insured Yoga Instructor. After almost 20 years of practice, I began an 18-month teaching diploma training under Sevanti at Unity Yoga in 2019 and completed more than 400 hours of various trainings since.
Beginning my yoga journey in 1999, I've found my practice to be an incredibly powerful tool for support and positive transformation in my life. I've practiced and studied with teachers from various styles and traditions but I consider my practice and sharing to be post-lineage. I endeavour to share yoga practices in an inclusive, accessible and non-hierarchical way which respects your own inner wisdom and natural rhythmic cycles.
I embrace the role of a guide in the realms of both tenderness and resilience, softness and strength, in what I like to call “subtle activism” and am inspired by embodiment practices. I like to slow things down and I encourage this at every opportunity. My approach emphasizes nurturing an inquisitive awareness of the body, mind, and spirit. I aim to be playful in my devotion and facilitation, interweaving my various yoga trainings, esoteric practices, and transpersonal psychology. I like to focus on honesty and introspection in practice, guiding yogis to connect deeply with themselves to discard the superficial and delve into the breath to clear the mind & steer it towards clarity. I am passionate to guide towards cultivating a more sensitive connection to the subtle cues within and outside the body in order to align you with your most unique compass code. It's my firm belief that our duty is to discover what inspires us so we can be bold and share our sparkle in this world.
In addition to my initial teacher training certificate, I see myself as an ongoing student of yoga, inspired by many brilliant teachers, and have trained under Dr Kumar in Traditional Vedic yoga, Uma Dinsmore Tuli in Yoga Nidra, WeEvolve and Katonah yoga under Selena Gareffino, as well as yoga for children with Zen Kids and Trauma-Sensitive Foundation with Centre for Trauma and Embodiment.
With a degree in arts education and an accredited and certified self-leadership coach, My post-graduate therapeutic trainings include Integrative Arts, Psychosynthesis and Grofian Psychedelic and Breathwork psychological models, being an ongoing student of spiritual psychology since 2020. I specialise in supporting and integrating spiritual emergence and emergencies.
A humbled co-parent to our avant-garde yoga hub in East London, Yoga In the Stars, where we embody the philosophy of being a "merging of the emerging," and space for continuous learning, community and growth.
I offer 121 coaching packages, yoga sessions, yoga nidra and am in the process of creating an online mentorship program to create a Masterpiece of Life.

Description
Equinox Celebrations /
This Equinox we invite you to bring your glowing spirit to explore community, connection and magic - together at Yoga in the Stars, with friends.
To mark the end of winter and the natural cycles, we celebrate together. Seasonal rituals take place across many days, weaving together connection and celebration whether drawing from ancient festivals and ceremonies or modern equivalents.
Within the ritual there will be ways to celebrate but also find connection, either with each other or with source. And and expression of that larger connection is to give, whether to Earth, deity or fellow humankind.
The First Day of Spring / 21st March / Opening Ritual & Offering of Love / with Pranayama breathwork, Nidra and Sound Bath will be woven together as part of a collaborative evening of ritual for connection, with Basia, Kiran SKG & Fatuma (Sunday Sanctuary).
LIVE Dance / 22nd March / Live music with Alex Akal & the Wolves with Support from Kaya Ori and afterparty dance till late / with collective prayer for peace / all funds go to Save the Children Gaza Appeal / this is a barefoot dance at Yoga in the Stars, creating energy and celebration as we raise funds for those less fortunate than ourselves. Book separately.
Full Moon Ritual Ēostre / 25th March / the closing ritual for the Equinox Celebrations. The evening will uncoil itself as we take the natural energy of the transition, as a medicine together with the power of the Full Moon, to work with the unseen, lifting the sex energies upwards towards the heart and mind and beyond. Book separately.
