In our final week of the Winter Yoga Challenge, we journey through the upper chakras – the energy centres that guide us into deeper truth, insight, and unity:

Vishuddhi | Throat Chakra – Governs communication and authentic self-expression
Ajna | Third Eye Chakra – Seat of intuition, inner vision, and clarity.
Sahasrara | Crown Chakra – Gateway to stillness, surrender, and connection to the divine.

Expect practices that include:
⭐ Neck and shoulder opening
⭐ Introspective flows and meditation
⭐ Breathwork, visualisation, and deep rest e.g. Yoga Nidra
⭐Exploring the final limbs of Ashtanga Yoga: dharana & dhyana

Affirmations for the week:
“I speak my truth with clarity.”
“I trust my intuition.”
“I am connected to something greater.”

Let’s complete this journey with presence and intention – tuning inward to reconnect with the wisdom within.

Then join us in community for our Celebration Circle this Saturday to reflect, connect, and honour the journey together over a free, warming cup of chai!

📌 Saturday 30th August, 4.15pm

See you on Saturday 😊

Welcome to Week 2 of the Winter Yoga Challenge! To keep you inspired, each week we're moving through the 7 main energy centres or chakras, moving upward along the central energy channel or sushumna nadi🧘‍♀️

Understanding these chakras helps us better understand ourselves – they are a map of our energetic and spiritual evolution.

🟡 Solar Plexus & Heart | Manipura & Anahata 🟢

This week, we arrive at the third and fourth chakras, the centres of power and love.

☀️ Manipura – Navel Chakra is the seat of our inner fire (agni), personal power, and transformation. Here, we build the strength and clarity to act with purpose and let go of what no longer serves us.

💚 Anahata – Heart Chakra is the bridge between body and spirit, grounded in love, compassion, and connection. Through this centre, we open to the experience of unconditional love both towards self and others.

Expect yoga practices that focus on:
⭐ Core work and twists to stoke the inner fire (agni) and clarify intention
⭐ Heart-opening and backbending poses to expand into love and release resistance
⭐ Pranayama (yogic breathwork) and devotional practices (like kirtan) to deepen inner connection

Affirmations for the week:
"I am confident, powerful, and can handle anything"
"I give love, receive love, and am love"

Join us as we cultivate inner strength and expand the heart – balancing action with compassion, and power with presence. So needed in today's society 🕊️

Welcome to week 1 of the Winter Yoga Challenge! To keep you inspired, each week we'll move through the 7 main energy centres or chakras, beginning from the base up 🧘‍♀️

🔴 Root & Sacral | Muladhara & Svadhisthana 🟠

This week, we begin our journey through the chakras by connecting with the two lower centres, the foundation of our being – the Root (Muladhara) and Sacral (Svadhisthana) chakras.

🌳 Muladhara – Root Chakra grounds us in stability, strength, and security.
🌊 Svadhisthana – Sacral Chakra invites flow, creativity, and emotional expression.

Together, they help us feel safe in our bodies, connected to the earth, and free to move and feel.

Expect yoga practices that focus on:
⭐ Grounding and strengthening the legs, feet, and pelvic floor
⭐ Opening the hips and releasing stored emotion
⭐ Cultivating steadiness and fluidity, on and off the mat e.g. through the Yamas and Niyamas (the first two ‘limbs’ of the 8 limbed Ashtanga Yoga system)

Affirmations for the week:
“I am connected to the earth. I am strong and I am stable.”
“I move with ease and creativity.

Join us as we root down to rise up – building a steady base so your energy can flow freely through the rest of the system.
