Immerse yourself in somatic yoga and sound bath and be guided into a state of peace and harmony. Every part of us has its own healthy frequency when we are in optimal health.

Stress, negative thinking and emotions, overwhelming and invasive noise can bring us out of tune creating a sense of disharmony.

Sound healing uses healing frequencies to shift us back into balance and harmony, through sympathetic resonance where one vibrating object causes another nearby object to vibrate at the same frequency creating harmony.

There is a resonance between crystal bowls and human cells due to the crystalline structure of the human body. Great effects can occur on physical, emotional and cellular levels.

​During the session, we embrace imperfection having time and space for listening subtle sensations using a somatic approach before entering the sound experience.

Somatic yoga is a practice of self-awareness independent from any specific body shape and connected with the principles of elements and chakras. It gives the time and space to feel subtle sensations. Allows to be more fluid and unfold what is needed in the moment.

​Slowing down to feel and refining awareness into little small movements, relationship with your breath and inner experience.

Relax, surrender and feel safe with no judgment. Embrace all moves and sounds as part of the journey and remember louder is not better, and quicker is not better.

The healing happens in the space between the sounds.

Some benefits:

Soothing effect in the somatic nervous system, unwinding patterns in the body from stress, encouraging the lymphatic flow that supports immunity, creating slide and glide loosing adhesions and stimulating responsiveness, coming back to whole, balanced and harmony.

There is nothing like a deeply nourishing SOUND immersion & joy-filled SONG circle to replenish your batteries & nurture a bright, warm & expansive heart ~

“Thank you for creating such a warm and safe environment, I really enjoyed it !” Harriet

We’ll begin by diving into DEEP REST with a delicious sonic landscape, inviting healing vibrations of SOUND & MUSIC to wash over you & dance the molecular make-up of your whole being into balance. This state of deep relaxation not only kindly supports our immune system, but also helps to free up mental & emotional tensions & facilitates free expression.

We’ll continue seamlessly through guided meditation & into Sounding practices to open the voice, simple MANTRA (call/response) both in Sanskrit & English, a round or a fun SONG, all accompanied by LIVE guitar ~

“It was a pleasure to take part. I loved the way you structured the experience & the guitar & singing were sublime.” Clare

We all know music lifts our heart & shifts our mood, triggering those FEEL GOOD VIBES! Using our own sung voice is like giving ourselves a soothing inner massage, especially enjoyed at our heart centre, Anahata Chakra  ~ Sounding also helps us to exhale more fully, making space for each new, deeper, revitalising breath. And there’s nothing like joining our voices together to feel connected & joyful!

And a note here, we all have a VOICE – these sessions are about kindly exploring together without judgment ~ and & a safe place to come & let go of any ‘I can’t sing’ inner chatter ~ you are welcome to sit back & listen at any point too.

“I so enjoyed the song circle. It had unexpected moments of incredible
sound that made me feel calm and connected to everyone in the room. It
was an uplifting experience and I floated out of there…”  Sarah J

Come stretch your boundaries, sing your sweetheart out & tap into the expanding energy of the returning Sun & renewal of SPRINGTIME!

Join Kanwal for a series of 4 workshops on Sunday mornings to unpack and deep dive into energising twists, heart-opening backbends, centring balances and calming forward bends.  Each 2-hour workshop will break down common yoga asana postures with an exploration of the physical and energetic benefits, giving you a chance to work slowly and deeply into the pose in a light-hearted way. Every workshop will include meditation, pranayama (breathwork), dynamic strength-building hatha yoga postures as well as longer-held yin postures, yoga philosophy, a long relaxation and chai and chat afterwards

Whether you’re a curious beginner to yoga, a more practised yogi/ni wanting a refresher, or just wanting more space for questions and assistance, this workshop is for you. Refine your practice by expanding your understanding of common postures and improving your overall yoga experience.

Join for a workshop or 2 or even the full course!

Energising Twists for Back Health
Sunday 18 May, 10am-12pm, ZenYoga Camberwell

 Twists help us to rotate the spine and stretch the muscles of the back restoring the spine’s natural range of motion. Through a series of twists, we will lengthen the torso along the spine, allowing our energy to flow more easily giving us an energy boost and spring in our step while we safely decompress the vertebrae.

Centring balances to enhance focus and resilience
Sunday 13 July, 10am-12pm, ZenYoga Camberwell

Balancing postures improves core strength, and tone connective tissue and builds stability in the joints. Through a combination of floor and standing balances, we will ground towards the earth and lengthen towards the summer sun, improving spatial awareness, as well as our mental and emotional focus and steadiness.

Heart Opening Backbends for improved breath
Sunday 14 September, 10am-12pm, ZenYoga Camberwell

Backbends open the chest and shoulders promoting better posture, circulation and respiratory function, particularly important given our tendency to slouch over devices. As well as strengthening the spine, improving flexibility and mobility, backbends improve focus, relieve restlessness and open our heart to new possibilities as we move towards the cooler winds of autumn.

Calming forward bends to relieve stress and tension
Sunday 23 November, 10am-12pm, ZenYoga Camberwell

Forward bends lengthen and create space in the spine and improve mobility in the hips. As we move towards the quiet stillness of winter, the inward nature of these postures encourages introspection, taking stock and a deeper connection between body and mind.

About the teacher

Kanwal’s teaching style is characterized by warmth, intuition and clear communication. Her classes are engaging and inclusive, with an emphasis on deep stretches, slow flows and mindful breathing. She encourages students to go beyond the physical postures and to delve into the transformative philosophy that underlies yoga. Kanwal was drawn to yoga in her 20s as a way of keeping a centre of gravity whilst doing a robust job working on women’s rights and social justice and eventually trained with Yoghaven in 2010 (hot, vinyasa) and more recently with Norman Blair (yin).

Dating back to its origins in 14th century Japan, Noh combines dance, chant, music, and mask into a multifaceted live experience. Along with a rich literary legacy, ornate costumes, and a ritualized stage space, Noh practice evokes stillness and an intense mysterious beauty. The introductory workshop invites people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds to explore the chant (utai) and movement (shimai) of this living cultural treasure.

In this 90-minute session, participants will learn basic movement patterns (kata) and practice singing and dancing to a selected piece that represents essential rhythm patterns of Noh.

With Chai Francesco

This one-of-a-kind workshop, hosted by the Maestro practitioner Chai Francesco, invites participants to escape the relentless glow of screens and immerse themselves in a world of healing vibrations and self-discovery.

The overarching goal of Sensory Awakening is to counteract technology’s numbing effects on our physical and emotional health. It acknowledges the need for individuals to reclaim their sense of self in the face of an increasingly digitalized world.

Participants are guided through a carefully curated series of exercises to gain a better understanding of their own emotions. Sensory Awakening seeks to create space for these emotions to be expressed. The workshop represents a return to the self.

Attendees learn the fundamentals of self-healing through practical techniques and gentle exercises, which empower them to incorporate these practices into their daily lives. The emphasis is on simplicity and accessibility so that participants leave with a toolkit of skills that they can easily incorporate into their daily routines.

Instruments:

Quarts and metal singing bowls, Gong, tuning forks, Shamanic drums, chimes, voice.

Benefits of Sound Healing include:

Improved mood, sense of calm, tranquillity and relaxation. Alleviation of stress or anxiety. Relief from physical pain, ailments or tension in the body. Improved mental focus or clarity of thought, and more.

Each session will explore a new theme supporting your journey of self-discovery, self-empowerment, self-liberation and self-care.

Combining Conscious connected breathwork, embodiment exercises, self enquiry and meditation, we meet ourselves with deep presence and compassion, tuning into the body’s innate wisdom to heal and evolve, allowing emotions to flow and the body to move.

As we move through life and the challenges which life presents, we often disconnect from the physical body and connection to self by ‘checking out’. Through everyday distractions such as devices, shopping, television, social media, food and addictive habits we avoid and escape from our deepest longing – to meet ourselves completely. We may also experience dissociation and fragmentation which can occur through unprocessed emotions and traumatic events, leaving us feeling numb, dissatisfied and disconnected from our physical/emotional/spiritual self. This can also manifest as chronic pain, illness, depression anxiety, and unhealthy behavioural and relationship patterns.

In these workshops, Natalie will guide you on a journey of movement, supportive exercises, felt sense meditation and conscious connected breathing to encourage the opening of your body as you truly show up to meet all the parts of yourself which have been yearning to be met. Truly, deeply coming home to yourself.

This style of conscious connected breathwork is led from a trauma sensitive perspective and is intended to work intelligently with your nervous system without overwhelm.

During this workshop you may experience any of the following: involuntary physical sensations, emotional and physical release, deeper connection to your body, a deep sense of relaxation, mental clarity, spiritual connection, enhanced breathing capacity and self compassion.
