Liz Lark has been teaching the Ashtanga Vinyasa Method of Hatha Yoga, with particular interest in Creative Sequencing since 1995. Her background in the Arts has influenced her approach, which treats the body in a playful, individual moulding yet provides a challenging deep practice. She draws from the methods of Yoga Nidra, deep relaxation, visualisation as well as bodywork techniques gleaned from Osteopathy and Thai Massage. This workshop will be an imaginative exploration of sequencing starting with standing poses, moving up to arm balances, backbends and a calming practice on the Sunday afternoon with Yoga Nidra and meditation. This workshop can be taken as half day sessions but you would receive the optimum benefit from attending the entire weekend. Some yoga experience necessary

This evening will be a delightful and joyous experience of kirtan and chanting with teachings led by these two world renowned leaders and teachers.

Naad Yoga is the practice of cultivating union with the sound current. Through Naad Yoga, a state of ecstasy is experienced, by aligning one's consciousness with the Infinite. This workshop seeks to assist in developing a daily practice to regularly achieve and maintain such a state of consciousness - that place in which one is complete, where one's cup is full, where nothing is wanted, nothing is lacking. There will be chanting, meditation, Kirtan (singing of sacred hymns), Naad Yoga related Kriyas, lecture and discussions.

A healthy aura extends out in all directions. If it shrinks to less than five feet, we are depleted of our natural radiance and the power of our projection. This workshop focuses on building prana to charge and clear the aura, and to reprogram auric patterns and codes using sacred geometry and the principles of electromagnetism.

You will have the opportunity to experience a wonderful Gong class with leading Gong teacher Sheila Whittaker. Sheila will answer any questions you may have about the gong. The class will finish with a meditation.

The workshop will cover a brief history of the Gong and the effect of the Gong on the human body. You will learn how to play the Gong using different techniques, and how to give a Gongbath to individuals & groups. You will also receive two Gongbaths during the day. At the end of the workshop Sheila will answer all questions you may have.

Through the divine aspects of Kali and Shiva we will explore the creative potential of self in conscious dance. Both Kali and Shiva have the capacity to dance worlds into being and to dissolve worlds as cycles complete. We too have this power to manifest our soul potential through the dance of life and to destroy the ties of our karmas through the tapasya of effort and applied awareness.

In these 5 rhythms weekly classes Emma will guide you into a deep exploration of movement expression and meditation using the map of Gabrielle Roth's 5 rhythms. Each of the rhythms, Flowing Staccato Chaos Lyrical Stillness are different energies that we embody through movement. Within each rhythm we discover our fluid, artistic and inspired dancer, learning about our relationship to ourselves and each other with authenticity. No dance background is necessary, the 5 rhythms practice holds no bounds to age, gender, religion or 'two left feet'! The sessions will be broken down with emphasis on a different rhythm each week allowing time to explore with depth, focus and attention. The 5 rhythms movement practice offers us a way out of our chattering mind and to move with presents and spirit, awake and alive, aligning our mind, heart and body into ecstatic dance.

Tuesdays from 2nd September - 7th October

Siri Datta, author of "Open your heart with Kundalini Yoga" and "Mini Size Me" will guide us how to dissolve and become free from the energetic entanglement that often happens through our close relationships. Through the sacred practise of Kundalini Yoga and Meditation as taught by Yogi Bhajan, she will share liberating and powerful practices and techniques that dissolve that entanglement, strengthen the heart and clear the auric imprint from our past encounters with others. With this ancient practise we will empower ourselves to dissolve old ties and contracts from our past relationships, spoken and unspoken. By clearing our subconscious mind, arc line and aura, we free ourselves from the past and the angst of the future, and innocently find ourselves free to love again. Beginners to Kundalini Yoga are welcome. Wear loose and comfortable clothing & please bring some water.
