The Yoga Being, Gosport (2026)

15/01/2026

Ever tried meditation or mindfulness practices… and felt frustrated that peace just doesn’t come?

You’re not alone. For many of us, the mind keeps racing, and “being present” can feel almost impossible. Conscious connected breathing is different — very different. When it’s carefully guided, it becomes a simple, powerful way out of the mind and back into presence, ease, and clarity.

That’s exactly what my sessions (online and in Gosport) are designed to do: to help you step out of thinking and into your body, your awareness, and the moment. We move gently, safely, and at your pace — and again and again people tell me, “It was more profound than I expected,” or “I feel calmer, more relaxed, and more present than I have in years.”

Each session gives you time to arrive and settle, a short introduction so you feel confident with the breathing, and then a 45-minute guided breathwork journey set to music — allowing you to soften, let go, and really connect with yourself.

These classes support mindfulness and presence without the struggle. They can help release held emotion, calm and regulate the nervous system, improve sleep, and leave you feeling clearer, steadier, and more connected. They’re suitable whether you’re completely new or more experienced, and especially supportive if you’re carrying stress, trauma, or overwhelm.

Upcoming classes:

• Friday 16 January, Gosport (The Yoga Being) — 9:30am & 8:00pm

• Thursday 22 January, Online — 8:00pm

• Friday 30 January, Gosport (The Yoga Being) — 9:30am

• 1:1 or private group sessions are also available by arrangement — just email joe@reconnected.uk

If you want to start 2026 feeling lighter, calmer, and more present, this is a simple, powerful place to begin. I’d love to welcome you.

✨ A Wholesome & Heart-Opening Friday Night Experience ✨

If you’re looking for something nurturing and truly different on a Friday night, this is the perfect opportunity to try something new a deeply healing journey for the mind, body, and soul.

We’ll begin the evening with a gentle, all-levels yoga flow, easing both body and mind into a state of openness and calm.

From there, we’ll move into a creamy cacao ceremony,inviting you to drop into your heart space and set your intentions both personal and collective.

Our journey will then flow into a deeply restorative Sound Healing experience, featuring the soothing resonance of gongs, crystal bowls, and chimes. Allow the vibrations to guide you into profound relaxation, harmony, and connection.

If this is your first time experiencing a cacao ceremony or sound bath, here’s a little more about their wisdom and benefits:

The Cacao Ceremony is a sacred tradition that dates back thousands of years, originating with the Mayan and Aztec civilizations of Central and South America.
�This ritual helps us to focus our priorities, align with our dreams, and take inspired action. Its deeper purpose is to open the heart and restore harmony, within ourselves and across the planet.

The Sound Bath invites you into a meditative, deeply restful state where the constant flow of thoughts gently quiets. As you relax into the healing harmonies and frequencies, you receive a sonic cleanse rebalancing both body and mind.

Sound is vibration , it travels through air, water, and solid matter, and therefore through the human body itself. It has the extraordinary capacity to shift our neurochemistry and neurobiology in profound ways, serving as a powerful therapeutic tool and a gateway to human potential.

Come as you are, and leave feeling rested, rebalanced, and reconnected to yourself and to something greater.✨

As the year unfolds, I wanted to gently check in.

This post arrives a little later than I originally planned — but perhaps it’s landing exactly when it’s meant to. I know I’m not alone in experiencing a slower start to the year. In the past, that would have sent me into panic mode, pushing against the natural rhythm of life. These days, I’m learning to lean more into what feels right.

We’re still very much in Kapha season — a time that calls for gentle movement, warmth, and steady energy, without unrealistic expectations. With that in mind (and taking my own advice), I’m heading to the Netherlands next month for a psilocybin retreat. It’s been over a decade since I’ve taken part in a deep retreat solely for me, and I feel incredibly grateful that life now allows space for this.

I’d usually go with the intention of learning and bringing everything straight back to share — and no doubt some of that will happen naturally — but this time, it’s unapologetically for my own healing and growth.

This year has already reminded me of something simple yet powerful: true wealth is your health. I also know how challenging it can be to start healthy habits when mental health feels low. We often know what we need, yet still struggle to begin.

So consider this post a gentle nudge — an invitation to make small, nourishing changes. The past few years have been deeply humbling for me, and one thing I’ve decided for 2026 is this: I’m not hustling, and I’m not competing, or getting wrapped up in the Social Media madness.

That said, I do want to share the beautiful offerings available to support your mind, body, and nervous system — spaces for awareness, connection, and belonging. Not just from me, but from the wonderful community of healers, teachers, and therapists I’m honoured to work alongside. We’re keeping things simple this season, and it feels like a shared theme between us all.

These offerings arrive tomorrow. For now, a reminder: starting is enough. One step, one day, one choice at a time—we can always begin again as many times as we want/need to ✨

With the end of 2025 drawing near, I want to begin by saying a huge, heartfelt thank you to all of you. This has been the craziest year I’ve ever experienced, and I have needed this community more than ever. Your presence, support, and energy have meant more than I can express.

Amid all the madness, there has also been so much beauty. I opened a studio whose roots have grown deeper than I ever imagined, moved house, lost myself, found myself again, and — closing out the year — stepped into a new role working at Lou Courtney’s Wildside Apothecary.

Kerry and I hosted a beautiful retreat at a new venue in the Cotswolds, Friday Night Alternatives returned, and we collaborated once again with the lovely Jo Parker — founder of Driftwood & Daisies — for our annual wreath-making evening retreat.

I’ve been blessed to offer 1:1 wellness sessions throughout the year, to begin every Monday, holding space for our Morning Yoga Flow at the studio, to continue offering my weekly class at the Gosport Community Hub, and to offer a day retreat for service families — a true privilege and honour.

As many of you know, 2025 was the Year of the Wood Snake. Just as a snake sheds its skin, many of us have gone through intense cycles of release and rebirth. Relationships and friendships may have ended, grief may have surfaced, and karmic patterns have shifted. Anything not meant for us has been stripped away. It has been a ride.

But next year brings a very different energy. 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse — bold, passionate, independent, and dynamically transformative. This energy invites courage, ambition, innovation, and big steps forward. It can also bring stubbornness and fiery clashes, but its essence is movement, expansion, and powerful momentum.

So if this year felt like a huge clear-out, trust that it was preparing you. You are stepping into something bigger, brighter, more energetic, and deeply aligned with your purpose. This is a time to live authentically and unapologetically — to turn pain into power.

I’m embracing this shift fully, and I have so much to share with you.

Another post will follow very soon with everything that will be available for you in 2026.

Thank you, as always, for walking this journey with me.

Much love,

Lisa Manaitis xx

Day one at Lou’s apothecary, Wildside Health in Titchfield village… and my heart is full.

Teas blended, balms crafted, wisdom shared, and a deep sense of belonging settling in.

Lou is such a very special and wise soul, and I’m so grateful to be learning from her.

After a podcast on authenticity yesterday, I was reminded how you simply know when you’re where you’re meant to be — because being yourself feels effortless.

Today, that feeling was unmistakable.

Find me here on Fridays and Saturdays. Ending the year with something beautiful. ✨
