Price : 4 wk £45; indiv sessions £13


Beginners Yoga can be booked as an individual class, or you can sign up for a 4 week course at a discount. The aim is to make your integration into a class run smoothly, gifting you with familiarity and confidence in your practice. During this course we will look at what's "expected" and what's "not expected" of the student. A number of yogic concepts will be explored to prepare you for deeper enquiry into a whole new world within.

The body and breath are the vehicles through which this exploration will take place. Emphasis will be placed on bringing intentionality and awareness into movement and breath: the importance does not lie in the struggle to achieve the posture but how the posture is approached. The next stage is to take all this off the mat and into daily life.
All levels welcome.

Alchemy Centre: 7 Chakras Kundalini Yoga Workshop with Maya Fiennes

7 Chakras Kundalini Yoga Workshop with Maya Fiennes
with Maya Fiennes

Date: 21st Jun 2008 to 22nd Jun 2008

[ Email ] [ Flyer ] [ Details ]

Price : £140

Chakras are energy centres, which absorb life force or prana from the Universe and is distributed through the nadis, energy channels to the nervous system, endocrinal glands and circular system.

In these two workshops we will focus on the 7 Chakras. The first three Chakras are known as the lower triangle and the Chakras 5,6 and 7 are known as the upper triangle. The 4th Chakra, the heart Chakra, is the balance between them, where the shift happens from me to we, from individual to universal. On the Saturday we will do the first four chakras followed by the last three on the Sunday.

The lower triangular Chakras focus on elimination and are balanced by the upper triangular Chakras which accumulate, create and refine. By opening and balancing the Chakras it is possible to connect to a larger source of energy, from which we come and to which we return.

The aim of these workshops is to unblock and balance the 7 Chakras within ourselves in order to release and channel our positive energies. All workshops will consist of warm up exercises, a set of kriyas (specific exercises for each Chakra), deep relaxation, mediation and mantras.

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. When we get close to other human beings (lover, parents, child, friends, colleagues), we form ties and bonds to that person. If this relationship breaks down, these ties can often disempower us, and sap our vitality and passion in our lives. Leaving us defended and reluctant to open again.
