Harmonise your Energetic Body for Autumn, Lost in Yoga, Sat 21 September, 2-5pm

As the vibrant energy of summer fades and autumn ushers in a season of transition, it’s the perfect time to unblock and softly recharge different parts of our energetic body. Join Davel Patel, founder of Aurabreath and I for an immersive experience with yin yoga, chakra-based and Toroidal breathwork.

Autumn is the Metal phase in Traditional Chinese Medicine and is associated with the Lungs and the emotion of grief. Let go of that what you no longer need, learning from past experiences and hardships and making space in your heart for what is to come. With a combination of yin yoga and breathwork, release physical, mental and emotional tension as you restore balance and harmony to your energetic body. Long meditative yin yoga holds as well as potent chakra-based breathwork will aid regulation, increase mobility helping you to connect deeply with your inner self and ease into the cooler autumn season.

Yogabliss classes at the Darbar Festival, Barbican Centre, Sat 26 & Sun 27 October, 10-11.15am

60 minute hatha style classes with deep stretches, slow flows and conscious breathing. Classes will be accompanied by Kirpal Panesar on the esraj creating a serene and immersive experience. Part of the Darbar Festival of Indian Classical Music at the Barbican Centre. Tickets £25; book directly with the Barbican Centre using the Book Now button below. 

Return to your Centre workshop, ZenYoga studio, Sat 23 November, 10am-12pm

Return to your Centre – a quieting yin yoga practice in preparation for the long, dark days of winter

This nourishing workshop will draw from ancient Chinese 5 element theory and specifically the Water Element, which is prevalent in winter. We will begin with gentle guided meditation to settle the body. Then, yin yoga postures held for several minutes will target the deep fascia network in the body, helping us slow down and stay present. Postures will strengthen the Kidney and Bladder energy channels, associated with the Water Element, as we practice stillness and conservation to relieve fatigue, reduce stress and ease fear and anxiety. 

At ZenYoga studios in Camberwell, SE London. Tickets £28; for more info and to book click the Book Now button below (PayPal, no fees). To pay by card book via Eventbrite
