Unity Yoga
Heathcote & Star, 344 Grove Green Road, Green Grove Room
Unity Yoga
Description
Unity is a combination of East meets West. Shaped by teachings drawn from Integral, Traditional Vedic, and modern lineages. The mystical, philosophical, and the science-based. Expect mindful movement, an enquiry into organic, natural movement; moving inwards through focused awareness to then open outwards into a spectrum of authentic yogic postures with sensitivity and strength. The heart of this practice is about ‘being with oneself’, letting go and enjoying the process of unfolding rather than judging or forcing. Each class will be shaped by a different theme in response to either the time of day, element, season, lunar cycle, or energy, and your guide's curiosity.

Primal Movement Flow
Description
During this session we ask ourselves "what would I be like if I had never sat in a chair or been able to get my food from walking around a busy supermarket. What would my body feel like if I had to run, climb and move just to survive".
This session is a discovery session, with yoga as the key vehicle. Balance, strength in posture and finding new movement patterns.
Special Notes: Set around vinyasa, expect some workshop moments and non-yogic movements.
You may sweat.

Closed for Event / Gravity Yoga with Sonia Waitlist
Description
Poses are practised completely relaxed, passively, so gravity does most of the work. Gravity yoga focuses on opening up the hips, hamstrings and back, where eventually the whole body will open up overtime as everything is connected.
When you come to gravity yoga classes expect strong classes, challenging poses. The method is slow, with long hold postures taught in an effective and progressive way for each student to feel and deepen the stretch.
The classes are structured in a way that students can modify each posture to their physical needs, the aim is to find the stretch and relax as much as possible into each posture.
In gravity yoga we combine long hold postures with 4:8 breathing, an essential breathing technique that activate the parasympathetic nervous system and switch off the stretch and reflex response in the muscles, that usually naturally happens when we stretch the body, allowing the body to relax, open up deeper in a faster and more effective way, leaving a long lasting effect in the body and feeling a calmer mind.
PROPS AND TOOLS
∙Blocks
∙Strap
∙Cushion/Bolster/Pad/Pillow
∙Massage ball (optional)
Gravity yoga is:
∙100% focus on mobility
∙Slow, deliberate, and uncomfortable
∙More challenging mentally than physically
∙Targeted Mobility training
∙Not energy medicine, Meridian, Chakras
∙Not a meditation class
∙Not physiotherapy or rehab
∙Not a restorative class

Energy Sensitivity Training, Connecting with Angels + Blessing Mother Earth Meditation + Receive Pranic Energy Healing
With Gish Singh-Kular, Founder of Academy of Temple Arts
ENERGY SENSITIVITY TRAINING
Discover how to feel your aura. I have been exploring these methods for decades. I love seeing students faces light up the first time they experience this.
Following on from the Energy Sensitivity Training:
CONNECTING WITH ANGELS
We will be connecting with the Angelic Hierarchies to assist us in our spiritual development. This is very uplifting and highly recommended. Release stresses, removes emotional baggage. The POWERFUL RADIANT ANGELIC ENERGIES are a joy to behold. A life changing session.
BLESSING MOTHER EARTH GROUP MEDITATION
Dual Hearts Meditation (DHM) is a very powerful ancient technique revived by Master Choa Kok Sui as part of modern Pranic Healing. DHM clears and highly activates your Crown and Heart chakras. By blessing the Earth you also benefit from the good karma you create with this service.
By joining us in this special meditation you benefit in many ways including:
* Energising and highly activating two powerful energy centres - your Heart and Crown
* Helping raise the energies of the world and assisting in our collective upliftment and evolution
* Gaining more good karma
* Clearing blocks in your energy systems for greater ease and flow.
This meditation is delightful to experience and raises your vibration to a very high level. You will likely find yourself nicely energised from this meditation.
Finishing with:
DEEP SAVASANA RELAXATION WITH A PRANIC ENERGY HEALING SESSION
Pranic Healing
Pranic Healing (PH) is a non-touch energy healing modality. PH works on the aura and chakras (energy centres) of your subtle bodies - on the mental, emotional & spiritual levels, which in turn benefits your physical body. You may experience feeling lighter and cleaner/fresher after receiving a PH treatment session.
Relax deeply as your energy body is cleansed and refreshed with Pranic Healing.
These sessions are free, although we welcome donations according to your means. 100% of donations go to a local good cause.
By making a donation you’ll be gaining more good karma and helping a local good cause (The Hornbeam Cafe - local food bank).

Closed for Event / Candle Lit Yang & Yindalini with Yoga Nidra Cancelled
Description
Yoga Nidra is a pure tantric experience. This can be described as a guided meditation leading into a liminal altered state of consciousness. Yoga Nidra means conscious yogic sleep that promotes extreme relaxation and healing through traversing altered states of consciousness from our waking beta-wave brain state through to delta. This practice helps to minimize tension, inspire creativity, relax the body and mind, promote physical and emotional recovery as well as instil a feeling of deep harmony and peace within. In Yoga Nidra lucid sleeping is among the deepest possible states of relaxation while still maintaining full consciousness, whilst planting seeds of your heartfelt desires into the brain's most fertile state. Scientific research states that a 30-minute practice of Yoga Nidra can equal 4 hours of deep sleep in its restorative effect on the nervous system. It is also an excellent tool to speed up recovery and is very helpful in coping with stress. It has been scientifically proven to have a significant effect on improving the health of regular practitioners as well as subjects prone to cardiovascular diseases, tumours, stress-related disorders and burnout. Yoga Nidra is a method of inducing complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation.

What’s the point?
To do something different. Discover ideas and collaborations. It might be that you have something you want to share. It might be that you are great at curating. Or it might be that ideas start popping into your head. Or that you discover something within yourself or a new way to collaborate with the skills you already have.
It's like networking except a very different vibe.
__
What happens after the gathering?
We hope to help people connect, new ideas for events either at Yoga in the Stars or elsewhere. Make something happen or imagine something into existence.

Why the Equinox_
The Equinox a moment of transition. When the Sun is poised directly over the equator - aligned. The Day and the Night balanced.
Spring and Summer, the inhale, the outward facing reach for the Sun - to feel good in the moment, the blooming, the growing, the discovering.
Autumn and Winter, the exhale, the subsiding back down to the Earth, the heart beat slows, the resting, repairing, the sleeping and the reflecting.
The Equinox, that moment balanced between both. When your inner world and the outer world are balanced. Where what you think and feel on the inside, meets the inspirations we give to the outside.
Pause into this as an idea and think about what it can mean fore you.
