All,

We have taken the decision to postpone the Pink Lotus Yoga Festival to next year. As you know, we already took the decision to move the festival from in person, to online. Now we feel the time has come to postpone.

We have wrestled with this feeling for a while that something was not quite right. The energy was not quite right.

The joy and feeling from the Pink Lotus Yoga Festival and the 108 Sun Salutations has always been from getting us together in person as a group - feeling and experiencing the shared energy together with different teachers, different styles of classes, fellow yoga practitioners you know and don't know, the beautiful stallholders, the accomplishment of 108 Sun Salutations (108!!!!), the taste and experience of the Prasadam after, sharing together how much money we raised for charity, and, of course being with Kirtan Scotland. That is what feels right. In person, feels right. Based on the community feedback and energy, this is what feels right.

We usually have around 200 participants for the festival over the weekend and this year's figures are nowhere near that.

We did not take this decision lightly and recognise the work that has been put in by everyone involved - we thank you all deeply from the bottom of our hearts. Online at this time is just not going to work.

What are we going to do? We are moving the festival to Sunday 20 June 2021, as close as possible to the International Day of Yoga 2021 and ticket holders will be able to use their tickets for that.

We thank you so much for your support so far and note that we have raised almost £1500 for charity so far which we will be able to give!!!!!!!!

You will be able to use your ticket next year. If, however, you feel you would like your donation for the ticket refunded, please let us know 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️

This year we welcome back Radha Shanti who again is supporting the festival leading a Kundalini class ❤️🙏🏼❤️

Intuition and You – building your sixth sense with Kundalini Yoga

Through the body, we will open up our natural flow of intuition. Experience a Kundalini Kriya – Pranayam and Asana with intention – and sound to explore how our practice can sharpen our 6th sense to live a more connected life.

Please come prepared with a mat, pillow, and blanket.

If you haven’t experienced a Kundalini class now is the perfect time ❤️ one ticket for the festival gives you access to all classes all day ❤️ so you can perhaps experience something new!

Remember - all proceeds for charity and all our beloved teachers are giving their time in support of this - so let’s support them too 🥰🥰🥰🥰

🙏🏼❤️ Lina Moles ❤️🙏🏼

I have been practising yoga since 2007, initially with teachers in Aberdeen and then travelling to Edinburgh and Glasgow for workshops, primarily practising Hatha yoga.

I started teacher training in 2015 and qualified in 2016 with Pink Lotus Yoga. I completed 100 hours of additional training in Yin yoga with Meadowlark in Edinburgh and online with Paul Grilley. I have also completed 85 hours of pregnancy yoga with Sally Parkes in April 2019.

Continuing my yoga journey as a teacher, I am taking an online course from Hari Kirtana to deepen my knowledge of practical Sanskrit and in my spare time from practising yoga I am learned Qigong. All of this is to deepen my knowledge for sharing with others and to take my practice to another level.

I love my yoga journey and I hope all of you will enjoy yours.

Lina will be teaching ‘Coming To Our Senses’ at the festival 🙏🏼

Appreciate the gifts of autumn in Yin practice with long hold postures 3 to 5 minutes as the touch, smell, gaze and sounds will be the theme for our practice on the day.

Free your Chi(Qi) along the target area lungs and large and small intestine meridians.

The practice will open your heart with loving, caring and the senses of calmness within you.

🙏🏼Log In to Tune Out🙏🏼

In today’s world we are often overstimulated. We spend our lives looking at computer screens, phones, TV – we are bombarded with advertising and other people’s lives on social media.

Our senses are our window to the world, but when they are overstimulated it can cause a fatigue that dulls them. Join us for a class that will allow you to reconnect, to listen to your breath, notice how your body feels and find joy in movement.

Remember - one ticket gives you access to the whole day!!! 😀 All proceeds for charity ❤️ get your ticket now ###x

(I’ve just pre-ordered the Virgo candle, poured on the dark new moon on 18 August and sent to me just in time for the start of the Virgo season - an early birthday present!)

Patchouli, Clary Sage and Lime 🌱
online now to pre order! oh I’ve been excited about this one! I’m a Virgo so it’s taken me a while to cultivate this blend...

your candle will be made on the new moon of 18th August, just a few days before we move into Virgo season on the 22nd August so your candle holds all the energy of the season.

Patchouli - is a female plant and is associated with the element of earth so what better way to celebrate the musky sign of Virgo than with this beautiful plant from the mint family. it smells like the earth, like soil and is known to attract lust, love, money and fertility. it is used in ritual and magic! Legend states that Saturn, the god of hard-work, rewards, and limitations, governs patchouli.

Clary Sage - an earthy, nutty, herbaceous scent. Spiritually, Clary Sage is associated with vision. It is used to clear the physical eye and associated with the third eye of intuition. It lifts the spirit and helps detachment and perspective from emotionally difficult or painful situations. It can be an aid to enter trance and or to induce euphoria, which is why it is also sometimes used as an aphrodisiac.

Lime - fights fatigue and stimulates alertness, good for headaches and energising. strengthens spiritual warriors in their fight against darkness. According to folklore it is said that lime wardens off evil spirits.

All blended with eco soy and rapeseed wax with 40-60 hours burn time. It will be hand poured and blended in Scotland in the yogi oils factory using nothing but plant ingredients, by katrino under the dark New moon on the 18th August, just before we move into Virgo season on the 22nd August.

Have you seen this year’s timetable and teachers? ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Yoga By Charlie will be teaching ‘Pratyhara in Practice - Sensation vs Perception’ at this year’s festival.

Pratyhara: ‘withdrawal of the senses’, is often considered to be a bridge between the external (e.g. asana) and the internal (e.g. meditation) aspects of yoga practice. Our exploration of Pratyhara will involve shifting our attention from gross sensory experiences to the subtle relationship between sensation and perception.

Remember this year - your ticket is all day - giving you access to all the classes and teachers so you can curate your own online experience❤️❤️❤️❤️
