Welcome to December!

It may not seem it, but in just over three weeks, we arrive at the Winter Solstice (the shortest day of the year – December 22nd). This is the day when the light starts its return journey and the days grow longer. Nature invites us to slow down, to enjoy and rest in the darkness.

We have curated a special selection of Workshops designed to bring rest and stillness to this magical time of year. We invite you to make time for some inward reflection during these long nights.

We also have a special December Offer on our Annual Membership to tell you about – You can practise throughout 2024 for as little as £66 a month (one of payment of £795).

And our Christmas Toy Collection is back for children of Lewisham Hospital.

Throughout December, the studio will be open with the exception of Christmas Day and Boxing Day, plus some other changes – please check our schedule.

ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP OFFER

Our annual membership at a discounted price of £795.

Throughout December, you can get our annual membership for only £795 (usual price £895). Enjoy 15% off all workshops, online library and pause for one month.

Commit to your wellbeing for 2024.

An annual membership would also make a lovely christmas gift!

WINTER WORKSHOPS

We have curated our winter workshops to lean into the rest and repair the season calls so deeply for

We have two WORKSHOP offerings for you this weekend plus something extra 🍂

As we’re in the midst of Autumn and the slower cosier times, nature is inviting us to look after ourselves so Winter becomes less daunting. As always we encourage you to keep up your regular practice, to keep your body and mind strong and happy and we have some weekend offerings to help you with that ✨

On Saturday 25th Nov YH Lee 11-1pm Kasia is back with her PINCHA workshop.

A two hour workshop covering how to prepare and strengthen the body for PINCHA MAYURASANA aka Feathered Peacock 🦚 or Forearm Balance Pose, how to safely enter, exit and transition in and out of the asana. We will cover: How to come up? How to hold the position How to overcome the fear of falling
What are the progressions after the standard Pincha?

The forearm stand is a great intermediate step between a headstand and a freestanding handstand. Pincha Mayurasana is great for strengthening your arms and shoulders while also stretching your neck, chest, abdomen and back. It’s a fun, but challenging pose and this worksop will give you some useful tips and exercises to work on. Workshops are a great way to take your practice further and play with some more challenging poses, also suitable for those attending for the first time. Trust in your body, you’re capable of more than you think.

take your practice further  

This Sunday 26th Nov 5-6.15pm YH Catford Nicola is back with her magical Sound Bath under the copper Pyramids. ✨🔺✨

Using sound as a form of healing dates back to ancient cultures from as early as ancient Egypt, Greek, Chinese and Mayan civilisations, just to name a few.

If humans are made of 60/70% water and sound moves 4 x times faster through water than air, it’s reasonable to understand the impact sound vibrations can have on our bodies – on a physical and energetic level.

Join us for this super special SOUND BATH under copper framed pyramids.

The pairing of copper pyramids, gongs and crystal bowls
creates a sonic meditation that is designed to enhance
altered states of consciousness, allowing you to move
beyond the physical and awaken an expansive inner
journey while deeply relaxing the parasympathetic
nervous system.

included:

✨A super sonic sound bath
✨Two copper frame pyramids, 6ft and 8ft
✨Third Eye gong for visions, Earth Sound Creation gong
for deep grounding and altered states of consciousness
✨Short information on pyramid geometry, the amplifier of
energy

Expand and nourish yourself this weekend

And if you fancy something even more magical Emily will be at the studio with her tarot reading – bookings only please see details below.

AUTUMN WORKSHOPS

for body & soul

We are beyond happy and grateful after winning the Best Independent Business Award at the recent Lewisham Borough Business awards.

Thank you to all who have nominated and and voted for us to win. We have truly the best community. Yoga House will be celebrating 6 years in February and this Award means a lot!

Thank you so so much. Kasia x

We are thrilled to have guest teacher, Adam Hustler back in November for a special Backbend Workshop. We are always looking to offer different styles, practices and teachers to our students. We hope you love meeting and learning from Adam!

INTRODUCING ADAM HUSLER

Actions speak louder than words, and Adam Husler (E-500RYT) uses both to understand universal balance in the practice of yoga. Drawing experience from a variety of lives lived off the mat— be it the law school, the boxing ring, the ultramarathon path or the non-profit sector— he brings an unique perspective to those who seek more from yoga than making pretty shapes. He offers creative, effective and clearly-sequenced teachings that focus on balancing flexibility and strength; physically and mentally.

Inspired by a fascination with anatomy, Adam specialises in Alignment-Based Vinyasa Yoga, informed by years of study and with Jason Crandell, and assisting him on a number of advanced teacher trainings. Being further influenced by; the spiritual wisdom of renowned meditation teacher Michael Stone, the dynamic teachings of Cameron Shayne and the anatomical knowledge of Tom Myers, Adam consistently refines his teaching method both as instructor and student.

Adam believes that yoga is a personally subjective practice of self enquiry, where only one thing is for certain: whether a long-time listener, first time caller, or anywhere in between… yoga offers us all plenty of options to challenge and reward. Start small, go slow, practise, and all is coming.

Based in London, Adam teaches a robust schedule. On top of this, Adam leads workshops, trainings and teaches festivals continuously around the world, leaving him with thousands of teaching hours under his belt and plenty of appearances in national and international media.

If you want to know more about Adam, listen to his podcast here.

FINDING STRENGTH & BALANCE IN BACKBENDS

Saturday 4th November |1.45-4pm | Catford Studio | £30

There are plenty of ways to shortcut your way into a pose, or at least something that looks like the pose on quick inspection, but here we’ll be focusing on integrity over aesthetics. King Pigeon and Dancers pose have countless benefits, if done mindfully, but have lots of less-than-desirable outcomes if you are ‘chasing the shape’. 

THROUGH THIS WORKSHOP YOU WILL:

This workshop is for anyone with a regular practice and although there will be some advanced poses, the focus is the direction of travel, rather than destination. Contortionists and desk workers will both equally find challenge and benefit

Autumn has fully arrived and to make the most of this beautiful season, we have put together some tips to keep your energy up and your inner fire burning.

We have some great workshops to tell you about too. Starting this weekend, Kasia is leading an Introduction to Handstand session. We are thrilled to welcome Adam Husler and Dan Breakwell’s Kirtan back to the studio. Adam is exploring Backbends and Dan is guiding a an uplifting Kirtan session.  Junior also has one of his blissful Gong Baths at start of November – more on each below.

Also warming you up, we have two new Hot Classes coming to the Catford schedule + a new teacher to meet. And finally, we were mentioned in Time Out! It’s so lovely to be seen in the press.

And you can still grab our last final 6 monthly memberships at reduced price of £435

Autumn is often described as the season of the soul,

making this the perfect time to return inwards and connect back to your soul.

The start of autumn brings us the autumn equinox, Libra season and the season when nature begins to visibly transform, as summer makes way for autumn. The nights are starting to draw in, the sap is returning to its roots and the leaves are changing colour, as the lush green of summer gives way to the browns, oranges, reds and golds of autumn.

Your yoga practice also offers you time and openness to explore what your body and mind needs.

At the studio this weekend, we have two wonderful workshops. One with our lovely teacher Louise, where we explore your regular home practice, and the other, with Unity Healing, which is designed to bring balance and harmony back to your life.

This Sunday 17th September Nataliya will take us on a 3 hour journey to replenish and nourish our body & spirit.

Mantra: I meet myself where I am.

What would it look like to fill your cup every day? Serving yourself on a daily basis means engaging in activities that nourish and replenish you, physically, mentally, and emotionally. It involves intentionally taking time for self-care and self-nurturing practices to ensure your wellbeing. Remember, filling your cup is not selfish; it’s necessary for your overall wellbeing. By taking care of yourself first, you can show up as your best self in other areas of your life and be better equipped to support others. In this 3 hour Forrest Yoga workshop we will look into how to prioritise self-care, listen to our own body needs and seek support if needed. We will start with Forrest Yoga ceremony, followed by 2 hours asana practice and end with journaling to start the reset of Serving yourself first.

This workshop will include:

✨ Yoga

✨ Ceremony

✨ Journaling

✨ Deep nourishment
