New Years Day Foundations of Yoga. A gentle flow session finding our way through a breath-led practice together.

Charting asana, breath, vinyasa flow, alignments. This session is for everyone, whether complete beginner or revisiting aspects of your practice. It's also an open environment for questions, exploration and trying new things on the mat.

This session will be an open space for nourishment and a collaborative session using pure movement to cleanse and nourish the body, and restore connection. Emerging from Savasana with as quiet space to journal, reflect, discover and be. With sign posts and semi-guided prompts.

The Vinyasa with Tarin: Less about the setting of intentions or philosophy, and more about the pure movement. The spaciousness created in the body through the practice of yoga. Less mind more just being. A gentle vinyasa that builds in pace as we move into deeper transitions, between arm balances and standing balances involving the whole body, evolving through breath and movement.  Fluid by design. With a looong slow down into a restorative savasana. Set to music and soundscapes.

Journaling and Visioning with Basia: Emerging from Savasana. Within the quiet space, with the body and mind clear and aligned we share a moment to reflect, be inspired, connect, discover and find. Bring your own journal if you have one or be in quiet internal reflection with eyes closed.

In this session you will experience your spine be realigned, spirit lifted & energy levels restored.

BREATH WORK - Energising breath-work to bring you into the present moment.

PILATES FLOW- Starting with slow & precise movement originated from the core. Building up to a sweaty flow to good VIBES tunes!

SOUND HEALING - Closing with total relaxation to Devine sounds of crystal sound bowls.

This session is a complete nourishment for body, mind & spirit. Hatha yoga is slightly slower paced, staying in positions longer which make us have time to feel the different dynamics in the posture, find good alignment & tune into the breath. Hatha Yoga is a Grounding practice and is proven to reduce stress & anxiety.

Ebba studied classical Hatha Kriya Yoga in India, close to the Himalaya mountains 🏔️ 2012. Since then she explored many different modalities of yoga & healing.

Join Sabina for Classical Tantra and Gong Bath, working with asana, pranayama and visualisation as well as sound, to enhance our inward connection.

Classical Tantra refers to the practices founded in the peak period of the Tantrik movement (800-1100 CE). These sessions, with Sabina Bhandari are designed to give you an experiential orientation to the vast system that is Classical Tantra, exploring movement, visualisation and the energetics of the body through one of the most ancient lineages of raja yoga.

Each month will be themed, giving you the opportunity to explore practices in consecutive sessions, so that you will begin to be able to weave your Tantric teachings into your daily yoga practice.

Sabina in joining Yoga in the Stars alternate Tuesday evenings sharing classical tantra as well as a gong bath for savasana, as part of our series Yoga and Sound.

Alternating Tuesdays with Basia Zieniewicz / David (Bifmode) and Alex (Frequency Diagnostics) Yin Nidra & Sound | Gongs / Singing Bowls / Synths & Trance: A Collaboration.

Consider booking a series of Tuesday evenings, to experience weekly sound baths and discover how your experience evolves.

Book in advance to avoid disappointment.

The session includes the practices of asana (yoga postures), pranayama (breathing exercises), and meditation to develop physical and mental stillness. The goal of Integral yoga is to become aware of the (non-dogmatic) Divine, to integrate the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of ourselves, and to manifest the Divine on earth.

According to Sri Aurobindo, all life is Yoga, while Yoga as a sadhana (disciplined and dedicated practice or learning) is a methodised effort towards self-perfection, which brings to expression the latent, hidden potentialities of being. Success in this effort unifies the human individual with the universal and transcendental Existence. Integral yoga reunites "the infinite in the finite, the timeless in the temporal and the transcendent with the immanent.

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.

A vinyasa flow is designed to capture the essential elements of primal movement.

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.

This is a FREE SPACE to practice yoga. This session is an open invitation to come and enjoy a yoga reset! Yoga is for everyone and this is an open session for all levels. There will be time after the session for chai and chats and space to explore any aspects of your practice that you wish!...

Part of our series to give you the foundations you need to develop your practice. Charting asana, breath, vinyasa flow, alignments, meditation and philosophy. This session is for everyone, whether complete beginner or revisiting aspects of your practice.

As well as yoga postures (asana), these classes are supported by various breath-control techniques (pranayama) as the grounding-point for achieving a state of stress-free harmony and calming the nerves. Breath is highly important to yoga practices as it is believed to be the source of prana (vital energy) for the body and can be harnessed as the bridge to connect the mind and the body together.

The focus here is on building holistic practices that are beginner friendly, suit all types of people, and are sensitive to the needs of all participants (variations are given to suit all abilities and you are in control of whatever you would like to try!).

This class will also include elements of: gut-health yoga - compressions/twists to support abdominal organ stimulation and natural functioning; yin yoga - targeting energy centres to facilitate the body's natural detoxification processes; and sound yoga - singing bowl frequencies, mantra singing/chanting and bathing in the sounds of the bansuri (Indian Bamboo Flute).

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced yogi in search of something a bit different, this class is for you!

Release the stresses you didn't even know you've been holding onto with these calming and spiritually uplifting sessions. This is nothing like you have experienced before.

Yoga in the Stars presents this special experience as a way to deepen the journey of self-study through a different sort of practice.

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).

Some traditional gentle vinyasa flow, with added Feldenkrais-inspired floor work and deep body resetting to get you into your body for the day ahead, set to music. Expect free-flowing movements and easy transitions, as well as an intention setting for your day.

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.

A slow, spiritual, but strong Vinyasa practice for the whole body for all levels. Expect longer held pauses for mind-body connection and guided breath cues to help guide you through this deep and sometimes challenging practice.
The beginning of the class will allow you to create a space for reconnection with your inner Self through opening meditation and pranayama(breath extension), which should remain as a part of your practice for the rest of the session.
Towards the end you can expect
grounding sequence in order to slow down the breath and reflect on your experience on the mat.

This session is truly for everyone, regardless the genders, ages and abilities.
Slow and graceful pace of the class will help you to learn how to listen to your body and gain the strength, not just physically, but mentally at the first place.

Often using of the yoga props along with many adjustments tor
the poses are welcoming everyone to explore the silence inside, even if it seems to be very challenging sometimes. Same like a life itself.

This Yoga practice is about quieting of the fluctuations of the mind and creating a relationship with our mind, rather than being constantly in a separation and uncontrollable fight inside. Through the conscious and mindful movements along with a breath, you will be guided to stay present and take most of the experience off the mat into your daily life.

A warming practice with a long slow build up into more powerful postures, to bring confidence into the body and mindset. You can expect rhythmic and expressive movements for opening the body and playful ways through your vinyasa to get you feeling good, and just enough heat to give you a little afterglow as you start your weekend.
