Yin Nidra & Sound | Gongs / Singing Bowls / Synths & Trance: A Collaboration Basia / Bifmode / Frequency Diagnostics
Description
Collaborating on this series with Basia is musician, Dave Franklyn on synths,, and Sound Healer, Alex Stevens on crystal bowls and gongs.
Dave and Alex brings their collection of instruments along with singing bowls, crystal bowls and gong to perform a traditional sound bath over a bed of sine wave frequencies designed to directly correlate with the meditative guidance from the voice of Basia and the sounds of the synth.
Yin yoga is a floor-based yoga practice in which poses are held passively for a length of time, often a few minutes. Holding poses for a longer period of time works into the connective tissues (ligaments, joints, bones and fascia) rather than the muscles, it can also help prepare the body to sit for periods of time in meditation. Energetically, it taps into our ‘chi’ and helps improve the flow of energy round the body. The practice of yin yoga gives you space to turn inwards and tune the mind and body to physical sensations, often playing with your ‘edge’ and dropping deeper into your practice.
Yoga Nidra is also known as yogic sleep but is in fact a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping in which the body and mind are fully relaxed and which is conducive to emotional and physical healing. It works by following a guided relaxation and is an effective tool for deep rest and connection. Yoga Nidra can help to improve sleep, reduce stress and anxiety, help us to centre ourselves and find the truths hidden within our hearts.
This session is an explorative collaboration and will evolve over time. Consider booking a series of Tuesdays as we explore the space of sound within yoga.
Alternating Tuesdays with Sabina Bhandari, Classical Tantra with Gong Bath.

Integral Wake Up

Integral Wake Up
Description
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.

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.

A free space to practice yoga, breathwork, movement, dance, tai chi and talk about health, food and lifestyle. Use the studio equipment and space in an open, inclusive and fun way. Expect spontaneous workshops and sessions, as well as a dedicated self-practice space, and we hope to invite other local yoga teachers to host sessions and workshops throughout the year to help grow and enrich the community.
Reach out to us with ideas.
Yoga really is for everyone, it’s a personal thing, and is a lifestyle choice that goes way beyond the mat and into every aspect of life, and we hope that this grant helps you to explore what this can mean for you as we discover together.

Hatha Yoga with Sabina

Hatha Yoga with Sabina
Description
What differentiates hatha yoga from other systems is that we solely use the body as a way to transmute the spirit, therefore is considered a secular practice even though it is rooted from goddess loving tantra and based on the Tantric energetic systems like the nadis + chakras.
All modern yoga systems today have been hugely influenced by Hatha Yoga, it's the Father system of yoga. Tantra being the Mother.
It also bypasses the yamas and niyamas of classical yoga (pathanjalayoga) and instead focuses on purification of the body in order to purify the mind / body / spirit
"Hatha" meaning forceful yoga or yoga of force
Ha and tha also representing unifying opposing forces of the sun and moon to bring a sense of unity in the body / mind / spirit. You can experience the force and strength yet also the gentleness and slower pace of the practice at the same time, bringing these opposing forces within us together.
Kriya ~ purification techniques
Suksha vyayama ~ subtle mobility
Asana ~ static physical postures
PRANAYAMA ~ breath control
Mudra ~ energetic seals (hand and body)
Dharana ~ concentration
Dhyana ~ meditation
Pratyahara - sense withdrawal

Nād Yog (the Yoga of Sound) - with Kiran SKG
Heathcote & Star, 344 Grove Green Road, Green Grove Room
Nād Yog (the Yoga of Sound) - with Kiran SKG
Description
Containing breathing, meditations, mantra, voice activation, as well as essential physical practices as a means to activate and prepare the system for deeper experiences. Everything in this session works towards building a relationship with the subtle rhythms and melodies of life itself, helping to become our own Guru.
Based on Gurmat traditions, engaging and unifying the body, mind and energy, this is a participatory workshop, taking the act of listening from cerebral intellect to inner knowing in order to explore dimensions within, towards the goal of emotional and mental self-mastery.
Breath is highly important to yoga practices as it is the source of prana (vital energy) for the body and can be harnessed as the bridge to connect the mind and the body together. Sound yoga comes from the concept of “Ek Onkar” the primordial vibration AUM - a resonance which exists in all as manifested oneness. These sessions with Kiran help you to connect with omnipresence through voice, bansuri (bamboo flute), and dilruba (bowed sitar).
