HERTS KIRTAN - CONNECT TO YOUR HEART

Date: Sat 8 Feb 2020 | Time: 19.30-21.00 | Price: £12 |

Location: Sandridge Village Hall

Exciting news! Kirtan is coming to Hertfordshire as a collaboration between Soraya, Sarah and Louise, who studied sound and kirtan with Nikki Slade, the UK’s #1 western style kirtan leader.

Kirtan is the yoga of sound and a form of meditation that effortlessly quietens the mind and opens the heart to bring us into a state of calmness, bliss, joy and connection.

Absolutely no experience necessary of chanting or yoga and you don’t have to be a great singer. The idea is that we come together as one to repeat simple Sanskrit mantras that create a high vibrational frequency within helping us to heal, gain clarity and rediscover our true Self.

SPRING EQUINOX AWAKENING WORKSHOP

Date: Sat 21 March 2020 | Time: 11.00-13.00 | Price: £30 (early bird £25 | Location: Heartwood Forest

The spring equinox is a point in the year when day and night are of equal length before the Surya (sun) energy tips the scale in its own favour. We will explore this momentary equilibrium of energy to bring balance to breath, body and mind.

This awakening yoga workshop will focus on the practice of 108 Surya Namaskar (sun salutations) and the significance of the suns energy in our yoga practice.

NOURISH & NIDRA EVENINGS

Dates: 7 February, 6 March, 1 May 2020 | Time: 18.30-20.30 | Price: £30 (early bird £25) | Location: Sandridge Village Hall

My Nourish & Nidra evenings are all about turning your awareness inwards and settling into a slower pace of life. Even if the world outside doesn’t slow down, we will create this container of peace and calm to help you to nourish the body and soul and listen in for any insights and wisdom.

These incredibly powerful evenings focus around two standalone practices of Yoga Nidra - a lying down meditation that anyone can take part in, regardless of experience or ability.

KIRTAN - THE YOGA OF SOUND

Date: Fri 31 Jan 2020 | Time: 16.30-18.00 | Price: £10 |

Location: Tru Dru Yoga Uxbridge

Kirtan is chanting, a yoga of the voice. The practice goes back more than 5000 years and can be practiced by anyone. You do not need to be a good singer, a practitioner of yoga, or a follower of any religion or set of beliefs to experience the power of kirtan. An open mind and your voice are all that is required!

Repeating mantras creates a meditative and uplifted mental state, and helps to melt inhibitions that can suppress our voice and expression. Chanting helps us to let go of our fears and connects or re-connects us to our hearts, and fosters a sense of community and oneness. Some people feel a sense of calm, others a sense of elation.

YOGA AT PANSHANGER PARK
