Strength For Yogi's' Workshop with Alice
Saturday 6 August | 2-4pm | £20 | Lee Studio
In this two hour workshop Alice will share with you some ideas on how you can feel stronger and more capable in your asana practice by increasing your tolerance to load. You will explore how body weight exercises, such as those found in yoga, can be adapted in order to bias certain areas of the body. Through this exploration of classic yoga postures we will also debunk the idea that there is one perfect alignment for a pose. Instead, you will explore different ways in which to approach a posture depending on what you wish to achieve. There will also be anatomical discussion and ideas shared on how to build more resilience in order to avoid pain and injury, thus creating a yoga practice that is more sustainable and has greater longevity.
The workshop will be highly practical and will appeal to those who want to dive deeper into anatomy and explore ideas taken from exercise science and biomechanics. The postures and adaptations taught will follow the principles of progressive loading, meaning that you will learn how to increase the challenge and the demand placed on your body in a way that is accessible and manageable. After the workshop you will be able to apply what you learnt to your everyday asana practice in order to feel stronger and more confident.
Alchemic Sound Bath with Kate Fleur
Saturday 20 August | 6-7pm | £25* | Catford Studio
Join us for a magical Alchemic Sound Bath hosted by Kate Fleur.
The power of sound healing is an effective and proven modality that uses vibrational frequencies to enable us to drop into a meditative state and allow the possibility of clearing, cleansing and balancing on a deep cellular level. Everything in creation has a frequency. Each thought and feeling, every part of our bodies, every atom reaching out to the furthest galaxies and when these vibrations are in harmony we can experience peace and natural transcendence.
Kate creates a journey using quartz crystal bowls and her voice which thread together and unify in their own soul song.As you open up to deep rest and peace there can be an experience of emotional release, visuals and messages that can be received. It is a passive place for you to just get comfortable and allow the frequencies to move through you. All components are held within a sacred space designed to give you alignment to your true nature, to stimulate the body’s healing abilities, to tap in to higher consciousness and create a transcendent journey for the spirit.
Open to all levels. *£25 per person or £40 for pair booking
Sound Baths and guided meditations are normally safe for all. However not advised for those who are in the first or third trimester of pregnancy, have a pacemaker, or who suffer from Menieres syndrome, have a history of psychotic episodes, or who experience epileptic seizures in the state between sleeping and waking. This is because the effect of the sound vibrations and the guided meditation can act as a trigger. You are responsible for consulting your medical practitioner before attending if you have any concerns regarding your mental or physical health, and for disclosing any such conditions before the event begins.
Women's Circle with Patricia Zafra
Saturday 10 September | 6-7.30pm | £25 | Catford
A women’s circle is a safe and sacred space for women to come together, use their voices, be heard and be seen. Women throughout history have gathered in circles to empower each other and share wisdom. When we come together with intention, untapped inspiration is revealed to all who are present to witness.
Patricia supports hard working women on the edge of burnout rebalance their lives without compromising professional success and their health & happiness.
A wide variety of women come to practice with Patricia – all different backgrounds, ages, careers, stages in life. But what remains constant is how united we feel when we come together.
Learning how to connect to your feminine power will transform the way you live and operate daily. If we don’t find new ways for working, designing our lives, and meeting the diverse demands we face, we won’t have the energy, strength or clarity we need to thrive + succeed.
Get CENTERED, CALM & CLEAR, so you can elevate above the swirl, focus on what matters, & receive what you need.
In-person gatherings is where our power lies. Women need community, connection, and sisterhood.
What to expect:
Cacao Ceremony
Gentle Movement
Breath Work
Aroma Yin with Essential Oils
Journaling

Lisa will guide you through a cleansing and programming of your manifestations ritual, honouring all you want to call in for the rest of 2022.

Air Mandala 120 with Lydia Buckler

Anahata Chakra- associated with air & the heart space. Creating & moving with our physical bodies to find a sensation of space & availability in the upper body.
We will use these two hours to explore in depth the full Air Mandala Vinyasa practice. Beginning with indulgence as we lean into our yin practice to awaken the subtle & physical body before building the motion & breath in our 360-degree Mandala sun salutations. Finally, we are into the deep steep, the steady standing air asanas (familiar backbending postures) into the mirroring seated asanas- immersing even deeper into the air element before finding our final release back into yin for the Svadisthana (water) chakra.
This practice is incredibly whole and energetically charged at times but there will be options and variations for different levels- whether you need an inversion or a child’s pose the practice is yours to play with. As we will be moving through air Mandala if you have a dharma wheel or mini bands please feel free to bring it along, all other props are provided by the studio.
The Embodied Voice Workshop
Saturday 22 October | 1-3pm | £20 | Lee Studio
A Workshop to untangle the nervous system and its interconnectivity with our voice.
This Workshop will start with body and build a deeper awareness of the voices interconnectivity with mind, body and spirit in order to un-earth our triggers and nerves when it comes to speaking in public.
The Workshop combines both Dan’s experience in Yoga, Qigong, Kirtan and his actor training to create a seamless blend of practical techniques and embodiment practices to settle the body/ voice connection.
The session will start with meet and greets/ discussions, followed by physical practices to free the body so that we can work from an un-tamed and un-conditioned place to free the voice and work towards moments of speaking to the group from a grounded, steady and open place.
There will also be moments of working on 1:1 basis within the group with Dan to really tailor the session to group.
This is a safe space to be open, truthful and brave around like minded supportive individuals as we re-discover and re-connect to our authentic voice.
This Workshop is for anyone who wants to re-discover and un-earth depth and clarity vocally, whether it be for personal or professional reasons, all are welcome. No prior experience in yoga, qigong or public speaking required.
