YOGA FOR PALESTINE 🇵🇸

Join .yoga.beherenow and our sangha to support and stand with Palestine.

🌱

Often times our yoga practice is reduced to the time we spend on our mat, connecting with breath, moving the body, finding a bit of space for ourselves and learning to settle and centre.

But Yoga, and note the uppercase ‘Y’, real Yoga is social justice, it is questioning the systems we are a part of, it is using our time here to make a difference not just in our inner world but in the outer world too. It is not becoming so aware of our own breath that we forget about the other beings in this world that just want to breathe, to be able to find a peaceful space for themselves, to be able to rest. With all the suffering in this world it is hard no know where to help, it is hard to be aware of it all and we can find ourselves closing up in a sort of spiritual bypass. Someone once spoke to me about a way to see things to help us regulate in times of despair and helplessness.

“See this existence as a cauldron full of ingredients. There are many cooks and you are one of them. Are the ingredients you add going to be bitter (fear, guilt,shame) or are they going to be sweet (generosity, compassion, love). We have choices every day that will affect humanity and this experience as a whole. How can you add a little sweetness today, tomorrow and all days?”

I would love it if you could join me for a little charity Yoga gathering to help raise money to support the organisation as they help Palestinian families who have had their homes stolen and destroyed, families who are escaping the genocide of their people and decimation of their land.

Practice; asana, pranayama, meditation. Tea, snacks and circle.

£20 suggested donation,but please donate more if you can.

I would love to see you there. Big love, Celi.

Book in all the usual places!✌️✨

Mandala ~ Embody & Embrace

🌿Sunday 29th June
🌀1300-1500

This workshop is a deep dive into the practice of Mandala with — not so much talking about it or understanding it intellectually, but truly embodying it. We’ll get out of the head and into the body, feeling the practice from the inside out. With a spacious two-hour session, there will be time to soften, explore, and even have a little fun along the way.

🌱Begin In Yin ~ we’ll start slow, drop in, let go, and land in your body.
🌱Mandala Flow ~ moving with intention, we’ll build gradually, breath by breath, flowing from the front of the mat to the back.
🌱Standing Tall + Proud ~ we’ll slow things down, taking time in each shape, grounding through your feet, and settling in.
🌱Return To Yin ~ coming full circle, we’ll soften again, letting it all release and return to stillness.

Come just as you are. Let the practice meet you there.✨

ASHTANGA ASANA LAB

Join .yoga over the course of 4 workshops to explore the Ashtanga Primary Series in more depth.

In these three-hour asana labs you will focus on the importance of strength, flexibility and alignment, which are so intrinsic to the traditional sequence, in a safe and supportive environment. As well as how to modify poses to make them more accessible for the body, both with and without props.

Learn how to utilize the key elements of breathe, sound, drishti, asana and bandha to become more intune with the sequence and perhaps access some poses that have been eluding you.

More than just an asana sequence, gain knowledge about the roots of the practice, the 8 limbs, and how to bring yoga off the mat and into your life.

✨JUNE 22 - Opening Chant | Surya Namaskar A & B
✨JULY 20 - Standing Sequence
✨AUGUST 24 - Seated Sequence (First Half)
✨SEPTEMBER 21 - Seated Sequence (Second Half) | Closing Sequence | Closing Chant

Our Nook therapy space is growing…

Meet our new Holistic Therapist, Emilie.🧚

Offering a variety of massage and dreamy facials!

“I find joy in the art of holistic massage and believe that everyone deserves to rest for a while and be cared for. In my ten years of practice I have developed an intuitive style, adjusting from deep pressure to a gentle touch, depending on what your body needs.

True healing happens when the mind, body, and spirit are in harmony, and every element of your experience plays a role in that balance. From the warmth and comfort of the couch to the carefully chosen oils that nourish your skin, to the music you drift along with, each detail is thoughtfully considered. It all comes together to create a treatment that goes beyond the physical. It’s a nurturing ritual, designed not just to soothe the body, but to restore a deeper sense of wholeness and well-being.”

Oooooshhhh. Get in touch to find out availability and experience the magic.✨
