Sophie will break down some of the funky transitions and if you’re new to the more challenging poses you’ll have the time and opportunity to build strength so you can have fun getting inverted!

August Guest Workshop with Soulcity London
ISIS Dance with Alessia Avellino
Find out what ancient bellydance movements were really about and how they relate to the physical, emotional, spiritual body and the yogic chakra system.
Isis Dance is about connecting with our natural rhythm and feeling the movements from within, finding and releasing tension from deep places in the body and celebrating getting in touch with ourselves.
We will be looking at how dance movements relate to the chakras, and what that means for every person.
The aim of this workshop is to learn a movement and make it yours, so that your dance will always be authentic. This is why we dance in a circle rather than in front of a mirror. If you are performance oriented you will find that, having a knowledge and feeling of why you are moving in the way you are, will add great purpose and power to your dance when performing.
We will be dancing in a circle together for some of the time and at other times we will be moving freely around the space to practice and experiment feeling the movements we have learned in our own bodies.
Bring a scarf or coin belt (if you have one) to tie round your hips. I will bring some coin belts for you to borrow on the day. The scarf /coin belt is not compulsory, however, having a a scarf/ tassel or -best of all – a coin belt makes shimmying the hips easier as it brings awareness to that area of the body. The sound of the coin belt is also great for clearing the energy field around the body.
This workshop is open to all levels, ages and genders. You will get a great workout and sweat, so please don’t eat just before or if you must, keep it very light. Just show up and the dance will do the rest!

Workshop
Mini Retreat with Carla
The act of withdrawing into safety. A place where you can seclude yourself and put aside your daily duties. A private refuge of discovery and connection. Sound good? Join me for a two hour escape where you will have the opportunity to ground your body, still your mind and reconnect to yourself.
Carla has been a freelance yoga teacher in London just just over six years and is General Manager at Time + Space Yoga. The success of her first yoga retreat in France last year has encouraged her to give people more chances to rest, reflect and replenish at their home yoga studio for a longer time period that a usual yoga class allows for.
Treat yourself to this sacred time for yourself. Carla hopes for you to walk away feeling rested, rejuvenated and inspired.
Suitable for all.

Workshop
Live Music + Vinyasa Flow + Nidra
Rhythm carries us from birth through our breath and heartbeat. Music, an ancestral component of human sensibility, moves our life and guides our emotions.
Sound and vibrations affect our brain and the way our body reacts to stimulus.

Starting with Pranayama and Chanting , Gemma, yoga teacher and professional dancer, will then guide you through a playful and flowing Vinyasa flow sequence, as talented musician Alex Paton supports your exploration with live music.
Closing up the practice with 30mins of Yoga Nidra, expect deep relaxation and a guided meditation.
Open to all levels, yogis and movers.
April Workshop
Introduction to Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is a perfect compliment to Yang (Dynamic) Yoga and a Yang lifestyle. It is a passive, yet challenging practice as we hold poses for a few minutes and place an emphasis on releasing and relaxing the muscles.
We will move and breathe through a grounding sequence which will allow you to enter a deep state of relaxation and release. Holding these healing and prop supported poses between 2 – 5 minutes will open thicker layers of connective tissue around the joints. This workshop is suitable to everyone and we will explore the physical postures, and build your understanding of why these poses are beneficial for your body.
April Workshop
