Awareness Plays: A 20 minute meditation playing with how awareness can be given direction, moved, condensed expanded: and how awareness wants to play and express itself in different ways.

Humming Breath: A gentle breath practice that infuses breath with awareness, and ends using humming as a way to soothe and calm the breath and therefore the whole system like an internal lullaby.

15 minute shake & flow: A short movement snack with just enough time to shake things up in order to settle down into presence. Starts with a shake out, some fluid spine work, and a mini flow to bring awareness and strength into our legs and hips before settling down in child’s pose and a brief sit to close.

Space-Density Meditation: A short meditation tuning into the space-density continuum that weaves all aspects of reality, from the manifest to the unmanifest, from the earth to the sky, and explores how these opposites integrate within our bodies to offer us an enquiry to explore the experience of wholeness.

Jai Ganesha: This is a chant for Ganesha calling on Ganesha as ‘pahimam’ and ‘rakshamam’ - a feeling of protection. I’m not sure where the melody originates, I learned it from Reachel Sing here in Portugal.

Limb integration mini flow: A movement snack exploring how our arms and legs communicate via the centre. We explore the symmetry and asymmetry of the limb patters and how complexity of movement is a layered, ongoing discovery. Mostly a floor based flow with a little standing exploration towards the end, before closing with a seated forward fold and a mini meditation.

Handstand Practice: A short and sweet handstand practice for when you want to get upside down. Works through some wrist warm ups, a little bit of flow to activate legs and find integrated tone, some whole-body-core work and handstand holds at the wall to finish. Happy Handstanding!

Gentle shake up & release: A short and gentle practice to shake things up and shift stuck energy. Helpful for moving things through, processing, and releasing pent up stagnation or agitation, so that you can soften and release. Shake it out and rest in pockets of stillness for an energetic refresh in a short amount of time.

Notice Life Happening: A brief meditation to invite our mode of perception from our day to day awareness into a sensitivity to noticing life moving though, and resting awareness into that flow for a few moments to replenish, to resource ourselves and to fill our cups.

Rest into breath: A moment of your day to rest into the flow of your breath. This gentle awareness practice works in a subtle way to attune to presence through the ongoing rhythm of our own breathing, building familiarity and friendship with our breath so that it becomes a familiar refuge to return awareness to.

Mini power flow: A 15 minute movement snack that gets going straight away building into a mini power flow with opportunities to balance, shake things up, ground with standing postures and build strength through your legs, and if you like, opportunities to practice handstand. Find a sense of strength at your centre, and to drop into a continuous flow.

Modes of Perception: The flow of creation explained in a framework called The Five Acts, and how we can either be in a mode of perception where we are noticing life happening, or not.

Why we don’t feel connected: A perspective from the non dual tantric thought linages about why we don’t feel the beautiful oneness we like to talk about.

Jai Ma Durga: This chant is to the goddess in all of her forms, taken from a text called the Devi Mahatmya which describes the goddess as the supreme power and creator of all.

Om mani padme hum: This beautiful buddhist chant is said to cultivate compassion. It references the jewel (mani) that sits in the lotus (padme) which some say is referring to the soul sitting in the body. The lotus famously grows through mud before it can flower, and so this idea that as we grow through there mud may we slowly recognise the spark of divinity that we hold within our body - and in recognising that in ourselves, we are much more able to recognise it within each other, at which point compassion naturally arises.

Hare Om Namah Shivaya: This beautiful chant is for Shiva, amongst other things calling to shiva we call to the aspect of ourselves that knows how to remove our own ignorance (the misunderstanding that we are somehow separate from the whole of existence itself). Melody: I learned it from Lina & Joaquim here in Portugal but not sure on authorship.

Mini fascia flow: A 30 minute flow with a focus on finding novel pathways for forces to move through our bodies to keep our fascial matrix intrigued and responsive as we move! Explores circular patters, weight shift, balance and options for handstand practice towards the end.

Hare Krishna: This mantra is well known from the Hare Krishna movement, but is actually an ancient mantra found in the Upanishads. The mantra precedes the movement and is a beautiful call to presence. In the Bhagavad Gita the teacher (Krishna) is the embodiment of existence itself, and for me, repeating the name Krishna is a call to wake up awareness to life itself. This melody came through as I was playing my harmonium one day and for me holds the feeling of yearning - the feeling of life yearning to be noticed, existence longing to be felt and known. Melody: Paula Andreewitch.

30 minute circular flow: A short and sweet movement practice moving you around the mat in a creative circular exploration, moving through hip releases, spinal articulations and flowing side plank transitions. A delicious movement snack with plenty of floor work and a brief meditation to close.

Movement Snack - Foot Flow: A 25 minute flow practice with a focus on waking up and moving from our feet. Short and sweet, we start with some foot activations and then get straight into a balancing flow before bringing it down to the ground for a nice long stretch out of the font of the legs and a little inversion to close.

Holding the Paradox: A brief meditation exploring the underlying ground of our awareness as it holds all of the fluctuations of our experience. We use a specific hand gesture as a tangible doorway into this concept and nourish ourselves in presence for a few moments before moving into the rest of our day.

Baby Flow: A short and short and sweet yummy flow you can do with your baby, playing with the simultaneous movement of awareness inwards enough to nourish you, and outwards just enough to tend to babe. We wiggle through the whole body and bring baby in for some moments of play, too.

Build strength with Babe: A practice for days when you feel you have energy and want to build some strength. This practice could be done with babe next to you, and for some portions baby could be in arms. We release through shoulders and wrists, move through springy lunges, squats, warrior two and twists before returning to the ground for a rest and an awareness practice to fill your cup weather you are in savasana, feeding or tending to baby’s needs.

Sneak to Peak: A guided creative flow that starts on the ground but sneaks into a peak sequence rather swiftly, giving you a whole body dynamic practice in 35 minutes. Explorative core work, balances, delicious wiggles to release through upper back and side body, and an opportunity to invert if you want it before closing with a forward fold, a rest, and sound. Enjoy!

The Gita and On Connection: A comparative study of the ancient wisdom of the Gita with a modern piece of writing called On Connection by Kae Tempest. I love it when a piece of new writing pulls on threads that have been explored thousands of years previously and feel the modern text massively supports the message of the ancient in this case. We specifically look at the instructions given by both texts in response to the question: so how do I remember? How do I re-sensitise? What is the first step? I highly recommend On Connection, it is beautiful.

Introduction to talks on the Bhagavad Gita: A short talk to give us some context for diving into the inspirational teachings of the Bhagavad Gita. The text I refer to is The Living Gita by Sri Swami Satchidananda.

Yoga with Babe: A postnatal practice with a focus on regaining a sense of containment through the ribs as we move from the expansion of pregnancy and birth back towards centre. We start standing with movement that can be done with babe in arms, and progress into movements to support strengthening the back body, side bends, shoulder releases, dog pose and a rest at the end.

Wanna practice but just so tired: A slow floor based practice to support you when you are tired. Starts with a chest opener on blocks to invigorate and massage the upper back, moves into some breath awareness to rest and open the lungs, and closes with a twist and childs pose. Short, sweet, potent. Could be lovely to unwind before bed or to release after a long day at the computer or feeding a baby etc. A class for all and appropriate post natal practice. Props: 2 blocks
