Creating our own island of peace and calm in the midst of a busy and chaotic world is what this meditation is about. In this class, we will be clearing the layers of mental chatter and emotional stress to reach a part of us that is sometimes called the observer self. It is in this centre that we can find real peace, calm, stability, and safety that cannot be destroyed by the outer experiences. From this center we can observe our thoughts, emotions and sensations without drowning in them or being disturbed by them.

Meditation helps us to establish and strengthen our connection with this inner centre that is always calm and peaceful like an eye of the storm. By doing so consciously and mindfully, we bring more of these qualities to our lives and the world around us. The meditation techniques that we use in this practice are well structured and easy to follow. Both beginners and experienced meditators are welcome to join.

Active Meditation in the City

Meditation is moving from the periphery to the center, dropping everything to enter into nothing! Modern city living challenges this with its many requirements and distraction. Active meditations help one get into the meditative space through the use of mindful and repetitive movements, sound and attention to gently invite your being into stillness. The many different techniques invigorate yet calm, enhance focus yet grow spaciousness, raises frequency yet grounds.

Each week, a different technique is shared to draw us out of our expectation. Come with no expectations and yet leave fulfilled. Come, let go, and drop within. Let your journey take its own course. This is your gift to yourself. You will be supported with instructions and music.

Having benefited from meditation practice on our own, we come to meditate together to create a stronger intention and support each other as a group. Together we strengthen our commitment to the meditation practice and learn new techniques. This class offers you an opportunity to immerse into a one hour uninterrupted meditation practice with intention, dedication, full awareness and presence. Every technique that we use will bring with itself unique experience, deeper understanding and a more profound silence for every one of us. We will be using both active and passive meditation techniques to enrich your experience and provide you with different options for your on-going practice.

This active meditation helps you to transform blocked and stagnant energy into a blissful and joyful experience.

They say that the most potent and vital life force within the human body lies dormant at the base of the spine.  As this energy is awakened and has an opportunity to move to the upper energy centers, our whole being vibrates at a higher frequency. We feel alive and awake. Lifting up this vital energy sparks our intuition, creativity, self expression and joy. Cleansing for the body, energy and mind, this meditation will bring your energy up, leaving you feeling renewed and energized. It introduces more flow into your life, “melting” and shaking up whatever is old, solid, and stone-like in your energetic makeup.

This technique helps to cultivate awareness, release stress, tension and stagnant energy from the body and to help you experience a profound silence within. If you want to let go of the old and bring in something new into your life, this meditation will be extremely helpful.

Setting a goal is great. However what if there is another and more powerful way of tapping into and engaging the cosmic forces of creation, to manifest our intention effortlessly and with ease? The Power of Intention, called ‘agama karma’ in Sanskrit. ‘Agama’ means ‘coming near, or approaching.’ When we choose to set an intention we are coming near to its manifestation. When we declare to set an intention, the universe immediately sends us opportunities to see that intention take root in your life. It then becomes our job to use our intuition to recognise those opportunities, and to take the right steps that will allow those opportunities to become our new chosen reality. This is a unique process which provides us the tools to increase our personal power, happiness, fulfillment and create the life we deeply desire. Through the conscious use of Intention, we can direct our life towards the path we desire to go, rather than where our habits tend to take us.

Nāda Yoga is not about professional singing, it is about the pure sound that comes direct from our inner core. It is a union of the self through sound. Sound is our connection to our deepest being. It connects us to a higher consciousness, but also to our primal selves. Each one of us has access to this innate power of sound through our voice.

Despite what you may believe, your voice is limited only by your imagination. We often let our expectations, inhibitions, and preconceived notions about how we think we sound (or don’t sound) get in the way of the full expression of our true voice. Your voice is medicine. Release from emotional blocks, empowerment and joy and an experience of the Divine power within.

This is an embodied approach to open the energy of your body, deepening your journey within to the raw voice in the space of your heart and your womb space to honour the rich spectrum of voices and elements within you. We weave a tapestry of chanting, toning, singing, improvising into an intuitive, and creative space to cultivate awareness of the instrument of your voice as you surrender to the flow of creativity that runs through you when you can truly “get out of the way.” Come try it! Sound your voice and come to own your very own instrument – your unique voice!

This inner child is a tool to help you connect with your emotions and communicate directly with your subconscious mind. We use guided visualisation and affirmations to address both conscious and subconscious processes in this meditation, creating complete and lasting change.

“Self-care is giving the world the best of you, instead of what’s left of you.” The cornerstone of staying healthy and happy, good self-care helps us flourish in every area of our lives. It is key to improved mood, reduced anxiety, increased resilience and good relationship with self and others.

After a long and busy week join us for Friday stress release where we use TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) to remove tension from our muscles and our minds. TRE® is an innovative series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of tension and stress. These patterns are formed when we go through stressful experiences and a large amount of energy, mobilized by the body, gets trapped in the muscles. TRE® helps to discharge this stressful energy by activating a unique, naturally inbuilt mechanism of muscular shaking or vibration within the body. Once evoked in a safe environment, these reflexive muscle vibrations generally feel pleasant and soothing, relaxing the body and calming down the nervous system. Helping the body to release excess of stressful energy, TRE® helps to create feelings of relaxation, peace and wellbeing. What a better way to finish the week and prepare for a relaxing and peaceful weekend after shaking your stresses away.

Masculine and Feminine.
Inside us, we are both masculine and feminine. This sacred dance is a playful interaction between masculine and feminine energy to transcend duality. By blending Tantra philosophy, movement, visualization, and breathwork, we connect you with your inner life force energy. Uniting sensuality and spirituality, grace and power, passion and peace of mind through dance, you liberate your body. This is an invitation for you to become conscious of both – masculine and feminine – and the intricate dance between them.
All are welcome – whether single, in a couple, or in-between.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.” – Marianne Williamson
The shadow is made up of all that we hide from others: our shame, our fears and our wounds, but also our divine light, our blinding beauty and our hidden talents. Experience the power of bringing our gifts and talents into consciousness and accessing the treasures it holds rather than repressing it, in this peaceful guided lying down meditation. We explore altered states of consciousness and connect with our inner strengths and gifts, and unlock the inner gold within this healing practice. The goal is to bring this power into the light and explore its full potential, while restoring our mind, body and spirit. We can achieve this by listening to our own truth and learning to witness our true self within.

Full Body, Awakened Mind.
“There is another way, a breath of love, that takes you all the way to infinity.” – Rumi
What if you could awaken and energise the ecstatic potential of your life force energy? What if you could control your outcomes and change results simply by regulating your breath?

The practice of eye gazing is an ancient practice found in both Hindu and Buddhist Tantra as well as in the Sufi tradition. This meditation can help deepen your relationships with friends, lovers – and yourself.

All are welcome – whether single, in a couple, or in-between.

The purpose of this shamanic journey is to meet your power animal. Living in urbanized environment as many of us do, it is very easy for us to lose touch with environmental awareness and a love for nature.  Communion, learning and interaction with animals helps us recover our relationship to the natural world in an experiential way. Meditating with animals, landscape and nature can take us into deep meditative states very quickly and powerfully – as part of our path to awakening and enlightenment. A deep spiritual experience.

“There’s something sacred in all of us that we need to protect, and sleep is a way to connect with it, nourish it, and make it more present in our lives”. Arianna Huffington
Proper sleep is something we all need. It nourishes our bodies and minds helping us feel well and be on top of our game. All the stress we experience may disrupt healthy sleep patterns, leaving us tired and drained.

What do doctors recommend for a better sleep? You must have already heard of the term ‘sleep hygiene’, including things like regular nightly routines, taking a warm shower, reading, and most importantly, no screen time after dusk. But what if your mind still remains active? That’s where Meditation comes to the rescue, calming the body and mind and clearing the ‘in-tray’ of our thoughts. In this class we will use a step-by-step method to clear the chatter of the mind and lead it into a state of rest and relaxation. The technique we will be using is simple, efficient and perfectly suited for beginners in meditation. Join us for a soothing, nourishing and calming evening preparing you for a deep and restful sleep.

“The Mind is one of the most beautiful mechanisms. Science has not yet been able to create anything parallel to it. The mind still remains the masterpiece – so complicated, so tremendously powerful, with so much potential.” Osho

Do you know how to relax consciously from the muscular tensions, emotional tensions and mental tensions? Do you know the secret of inner transformation?
Yoga Nidra is a form of psychic sleep which is derived from Tantra Shastras. It is a powerful yogic technique in which you learn to relax consciously from all inner tensions while you remain aware throughout the practice. Only with a release of tension, deep relaxation and peace of mind that man can realize his true nature. Benefits of Yoga Nidra include: i) Release of 3-fold tensions; ii) Inducing psychic and physiological rest and rejuvenation; iii) Removal of unwanted habits or patterns; iv) Healing certain diseases; v) Awakening of intuitions and extra-sensorial perception; vi) Directing the mind to accomplish anything you want including experience of Self- Realization.

This Tantric style of right-brain oriented, bottom-up somatic embodied approach uses breath, visualization, and the simple direct physical experience of our primordial space of silence and stillness. This spacious awareness is the birthplace of happiness, creativity, insight and infinite possibilities. You learn to have access to the inner stillness and calm that always lies beneath the choppy surface of thought and emotion. Tap into the timeless wisdom that rests within you. If you feel stuck or looking for inspiration, this class is for you!

The truth is that the space you create inside you is how life will appear for you.When you move your body with any thought or intention in your inner space, that space will get registered in your muscle memory, in your physical reality. Life will bring forth this reality for you. Your body, your outer space is a pure reflection of your inner space. When you feel angry, your body boils with anger. One single thought is enough to activate your whole biology.
When your inner space is filled with unconscious thoughts and patterns, you will not even know why you act the way you act. It will be an automatic response to life from the limited cognition of the root patterns. This is the cause of all sufferings in our life, which takes us away from the space of yoga. You have a choice in life: You can create a limiting space that is filled with root patterns, or fill it with a new cognition of expansion and feel fulfilled and free. The conscious choice is yours.

Whatever that exists is Sound. The ancient Rishis, saints and mystics discovered a long time ago that all of matter is sound, and sound is the original aspect of creation that acts as the substratum for everything else to come into existence. The original sound is ‘OM’. Upanishad (the sacred scripture of Vedic tradition) says Nada Brahman i.e. from the Nada (sound) the Existence expresses itself. The ancient Rishis discovered many expressions of Nada Brahman during the profound states of meditation. As the mind becomes quiet and subline, one hears subtle sounds corresponding to various chakras (energy centers) and levels of consciousness. Diseases and Sound are Related. The sound energy field is responsible for the diseases we carry. If our energy field is altered, naturally our diseases will be cured. Therefore, Nada is responsible for our health or diseases. All authentic healing systems in the world work on Nada, i.e. all healing happen on energy of Nada.
