Deep Rest ~ with Martina and Lucy
STUDIO
Date: Monday 11th July Time: 20:00-21:30 Price: €25 |
Restorative Yoga, Reiki and Yoga Nidra for the Capricorn Full Moon
Rest, release and receive. Martina and Lucy's Deep Rest Workshop returns for the Capricorn Full Moon. You’ll be exploring the practice of releasing through gentle movement with Restorative Yoga and be invited to receive subtle Reiki healing and an astrology inspired Yoga Nidra. This nourishing combo is guaranteed to send you into another dimension of relaxation! It's the perfect antidote to stress and a great way to reset and restore. The slow and gentle stretching at the beginning will ease you to start dropping out of the mind and into the body. You’ll then move into the restorative practice, which includes longer held postures. The mixture of movement and stillness is a treat for your nervous system and will help to ease stress and anxiety held in the body and mind. To relax is to rest deeply and when we set aside time to truly rest and relax we let our system renew and recover from daily stresses and strains, we let the body & mind do what it needs to do to re-balance. Here we can find some inner stillness and connection. The practice of Yoga Nidra follows with the theme of ‘structure’! Capricorn is the archetype of the builder - ensuring that its foundations are strong, it'll do anything to achieve its goals. It does not feel or think its way through a challenge - it just 'does'. The yoga nidra will inspire you to look to where your focus on your goals is costing you your relationships with loved ones. Where has the rigidity of Capricorn turned into a blockage for you - one of the shadow aspects of this energy - and you’ll be invited to release it. At the same time, we'll celebrate the peak of achievement that this Full Moon could also bring. As you continue to let the body remain still, you’ll individually receive Reiki healing intended to complement your relaxation experience while aligning any energetic imbalances. All you have to do is decide that you want to rest, release and receive. |
You. Goddess. ~ with Martina and Lucy
STUDIO
Date: Saturday, 16th July Time: 11:00-13:00 Price: €27 |
Exploring the power of the Goddesses through Yoga and Astrology
Lucy and Martina invite you to join them in a series of workshops exploring the significance of the Tridevi in the practice of Yoga and Astrology. You'll discover the source of potentiality called 'shakti' - divine feminine power and how each of the Tridevi expresses her strengths and manifests her qualities in everyday life. You'll dive into the characteristics of the planet associated with each of the Goddesses and how to best work with that energy. Shakti is the force that continuously encourages us to keep evolving and expanding our consciousness. We'll merge the worlds of yoga and astrology through theory and practice in order to connect with each of the distinctive characteristics of Parvati, Lakshmi and Saraswati, in turn. Starting with Parvati and the Moon, on 16th July, we'll go through the practices that best help us cultivate her essence within us, learning how and when to call upon her. The practices involved might include yoga asana, mantra, meditations, dynamic movement, creative visualisations, journaling and more. No previous knowledge or experience of yoga, Vedic mythology or Astrology is required to participate. Just a curious thirst to connect with yourself and share your energy with the rest of the group. The workshop is suitable for both men and women, of any age or ability. |

An evening immersion into feminine energy, including the ancestral Rite of the Womb ~ with Catarina
STUDIO
Date: Saturday, 6th August Time: 19:00-22:00 Early bird: 45€ until July 20th (use the promo code: EARLYRITE at the checkout) Full price: 50€ |
An Evening Immersion into feminine energy, including the ancestral Rite of the womb
Dive within yourself trough movement, breathing, meditation and relaxation. And give yourself the gift of receiving the ancestral and shamanic healing blessing known as the Rite of the Womb. One of the most simple and yet significant things I’ve experienced in the recent past. The Rite of the Womb lifted many heavy emotions I had related to my feminine lineage. And it ignited a passionate fire within me that I had been trying to recover for some time. It cracked me open to creativity, vitality, intimacy and Love. It helped me connect with my femininity, my sexuality and my body in ways I have difficulty explaining. It’s like a veil has been lifted and now there’s no more separation between those facets of my Self. Whole. Open. Connected within. I guess that if I had to choose just a few words to translate my experience with this ancient womb blessing, these would be the ones I would choose. That’s how it has made me feel. And now the time has come to pass it along to others. If you feel called to do this initiation as a womb keeper, I would be honoured to welcome you. What is it? It’s a very simple yet profound energy transmission to the Womb – the energy center of creation and creativity – with the intention of releasing the suffering, fear and pain that has been carried from womb to womb, generation after generation. As these heavy energies are cleared, in a deep and conscious process of releasing old wounds and beliefs, new space is created for joy, sensitivity, creativity, pleasure, vitality and all facets of your feminine energy. Through this beautiful ritual, you are invited to initiate deep healing within yourself and within your female ancestral line. This blessing empowers women to reclaim their place in the world as conscious and wise leaders, teachers, and healers. The rite was born from the female shamans of the Shipibo Nation deep in the Amazon Jungle and it was transmitted to Marcela Lobos, as the 13th Rite of the Munay Ki. She was chosen to share it with the rest of the world. And each woman who receives the Rite is initiated as a Womb Keeper and so is invited to pass it to others. This event is for all women, with or without a menstrual cycle, with or without a womb. Who is this event for?

Yoga para Sobreviventes de Relações Abusivas ~ com Deborah Penna
STUDIO
Date: Sunday, August 14th 2022 Time: 15:00 - 18:00 Price: €40 Preço social disponível (desconto de 30%) |
Apresentação teórica sobre Yoga com Consciência sobre Traumas, como o trauma ocorre no corpo e como o Yoga pode ajudar a melhorar os sintomas, especialmente no trabalho desenvolvido com sobreviventes de relações abusivas.
Vivência prática, com meditação guiada, mudrás, pranayamas e asanas, para sentir essa metodologia de Yoga com Consciência sobre Traumas. O workshop inicia com uma apresentação teórica sobre trauma, o que acontece em nosso corpo/cérebro ao experienciar situações traumáticas e como estudos e a neurociência vêm demonstrando que uma prática que começa pelo corpo (bottom-up) também pode funcionar no trabalho com traumas. No Yoga com Consciência sobre Traumas, a abordagem segue essa intenção, de baixo para cima, isto é, focando primeiro na reconexão e presença no corpo. Ao começar a suavizar os sintomas causados pelo trauma pode-se, então, explorar os corpos mais sutis, para trabalhar num fortalecimento do ser, em todas as dimensões. Ao criar interocepção, que é a interação entre o corpo e a mente, auxilia-se na diminuição dos hormônios do estresse liberados no corpo e aumenta-se a plasticidade do cérebro, onde a rede de neurônios se recompõe e reorganiza. O Yoga como prática milenar busca o reencontro com o ser real e, ao adaptar as aulas com consciência sobre traumas, o Yoga pode proporcionar esse confortável regresso ao corpo, um voltar a habitar o seu próprio corpo com segurança, o primeiro passo para a cura. Nessa busca e estudo, será apresentado o projeto Yoga para Sobreviventes de Relações Abusivas, desenvolvido apenas com mulheres, e mostrando como o Yoga pode ajudar nesse caminho de reencontro consigo mesma, através de uma jornada pelos chakras, do físico ao espiritual, do grosseiro ao sutil. As práticas de Yoga com Consciência sobre Traumas são profundamente comprometidas com o empoderamento dos alunos e não em dizer o que eles devem fazer com os seus corpos. Uma prática com consciência sobre traumas oferece escolhas e a gradual retomada do poder sobre os seus próprios corpos. A segunda parte do workshop será uma experiência prática de aproximadamente 1h15, com meditação guiada, uso de mudrás, pranayamas, asanas e relaxamento para sentir os efeitos de uma prática com consciência sobre traumas. Este evento é para:

Shamanic Drum Journeying ~ with Simon Raby
STUDIO
Next Date: TBC Time: 17:00-20:00 Price: €40 |
Join Simon to celebrate the Druid wheel of the year with an introduction to ritual and shamanic healing through traditional drum journeys.
Simon mostly draws from the foundations of Michael Harner's "Core shamanism". Michael Harner discovered that through monotonous drumming we can induce a state where the individual can journey to their own inner worlds. Our primary intent during these journeys is to find and work with our "power animals" and spirit guides. Each experience is completely individual, no two journeys are the same. After each journey we take the opportunity to recall the experience in detail, sharing or not with the group. What will you take away with you:

Scaravelli inspired Yoga Immersions ~ with Katrin
STUDIO & ONLINE
Next dates: Selected Sundays TBC Time: 10:30-12:30 Price: 20€ per person |
A fun and in-depth exploration of movement and individual postures with the aim of finding more space in the body and accessing deeper strength and a more congruent alignment. We look for ways to create the conditions in the body so great movement feels effortless.
In these immersions we will focus on regulating our nervous system and finding ways to return into our own axis, physically, emotionally and mentally. The Scaravelli inspired approach is an invitation to play with gravity, free the breath and find space in the body to allow it to move to its full potential. That way the body can start to work deeper and move more freely into yoga postures, exploring how these openings and connections can help us un-do habitual (and potentially painful) holding patterns. Then we can embark on a journey of restoration and transformation. |
Community Reiki & Nidra - Where Deep Rest Meets Healing ~ with Martina
STUDIO
Next date: TBC Time: 18:00-19:30 Donation-based with a suggested minimum amount of 7€ per person |
Moments of quietude where deep rest meets healing
An invitation to experience two healing arts at once. We begin with gentle movement to ease the body into the floor, as you settle into surrender for a guided Yoga Nidra meditation. The art of rest, known as yogic sleep, invites you to open your heart and hear its rhythm. It invites you to experience complete relaxation allowing only an inner awareness of your spirit to be discovered and held. It invites you to look within for all that you desire and honour it by allowing it to surface. As you remain in your comfortable cocoon, gentle music continues to soothe your practice as you, individually, receive Reiki - the art of energy healing. We intend to integrate a sense of belonging during the Yoga Nidra and dissolve any physical and emotional blocks whilst receiving Reiki. We end by returning to our cosy space feeling lighter and well-rested, calmer and realigned.
What might you take away with you from this workshop? Hopefully nothing :) We are intending to leave things behind instead; to leave lighter than when we arrived. About Martina Martina is the Creator of Yoga Time YAY! A place for yoga, cooking and healing practices for children, teens and families to inspire curiosity, creativity and connection.

Community Acupuncture ~ with Hayley Enright
|
Community acupuncture is a relaxing acupuncture treatment in a group setting at more than 50% off regular price.
It’s the perfect time to try acupuncture if:
Acupuncture has been practiced for thousands of years in Asia. Traditionally friends and family do it together. This is known as “community acupuncture.” Much like a group meditation session, you’re gathered in one room, relaxing quietly and peacefully in a healing environment as your body is restored and finds balance. What can it help?
How does it work? Hayley will chat quietly with you about what you need, then direct you to get comfortable on a yoga mat. She will take your pulse and look at your tongue, then gently put in the needles. You’ll rest while your body relaxes during treatment. Sessions last 30 minutes (the last session begins at 20:30), which is plenty of time for the acupuncture to do its work. Hayley has given over 13,000 treatments, from 9 day old newborns to people approaching 100. She has a Master's in Acupuncture from Tri-State College of Acupuncture in New York City and a Master’s in Oriental Medicine from East West College in Sarasota, Florida. |

Cat's been practicing and teaching energy work and yoga for 25+ years and initially got into the work as a way to transform her own trauma. She's highly sensitive and intuitive and gifted in taking you on a multidimensional journey. We'll spend a few minutes in the beginning orienting you in the Vision Quest (it's a playful and profound variation on yoga nidra, for those of you familiar). Then we'll spend time dropping into a very space with biodynamic yin which is an energetic journey within itself. And we'll finish with a 45 minute Vision Quest. Bring a notebook and pen. The New Moon is the perfect day for this journey as this is your opportunity to set intentions for the months or year to come. We'll be diving into our undercurrents and dreamspace which allows you a much deeper access to hidden, powerful, and magical parts of yourself. All levels are welcome. Come for something new, sparkly, grounding and even life-changing. :-) |
