Beginners Flow Yoga

8 Week Course

Taking the step to try something new can be exciting, but might also feel daunting or even scary.

This beginners course takes that anxiety out of starting your yoga journey. We will break things down, covering not just the hows but the whys of yoga practice fundamentals; posture, breath, awareness, meditation, mantra and mudra. Connecting to your body with awareness can radically change how you feel on the yoga mat and in your daily life.

You will learn key yoga postures, as well as how to adapt them for your body because no two people are exactly alike. We will explore movement and stillness, and learn to link postures together in flow as we learn sun salutations. All with an emphasis on playful curiosity and discovery. Each class will offer a theme, inviting you to go beyond the physical, to listen to your own truth and recognise the beauty of your deepest worth and potential.

Suitable for: Those completely new to yoga, or anyone wanting to gain a better understanding of the fundamentals.

Weekend Wind-Down Yin Yoga

Soothe your body, mind and soul at the end of the week with a mindful, nurturing yoga practice.
Release tension, relieve stress, find solace from the hectic pace of modern life and the pressures or expectations of work, family and social commitments.

This class is suitable for everyone, regardless of experience. We will take things slowly and mindfully, using gentle movements to connect to our breath and come into our bodies. The practice leads on to restorative yin yoga where we use longer holds in passive postures to allow for deep, gradual release at the connective tissue level. This gives time and space for reflection, contemplation and cultivates receptivity while being deeply calming and rejuvenating.

Practice will always include breath-work to soothe the mind and ease you into awareness. We close with savasana, total relaxation which may be guided or held in nurturing quiet, to access a state of deep, nourishing rest.

Suitable for: Everyone and anyone. Students who are new to yoga will find Yin a gentle enough style to follow along, and those with more yoga experience can go deeper into the mental, subtle and meditative aspects of the practice.

Energising Saturday Yoga

A delicious, energising morning flow yoga class to help you start your weekend feeling great. There’s no rush in this 90 minute class. We find spaciousness in our bodies, minds and breath which in turn can help you find spaciousness in your life. We explore breathwork (pranayama) to calm and revitalise.

There’s time to break down some more challenging postures giving you time to play with something new or work your edge. And of course there’s time to slow down and sink in deep, before final relaxation (savasana).

Rest & Restore Yoga with Yoga Nidra

6 Week Course

A course for anyone looking to bring some more relaxation into their lives, especially if winding down is difficult for you, if perhaps you have trouble sleeping or find you are not rejuvenated by the rest you do get.

There will be breath practices to soften the edges, helping to calm the body and mind. Gentle movement and restorative yoga to get out of your head and into your body, allowing your system to release tension and settle into comfortable rest. The movement part of class is very gentle, so those with injuries or who are hesitant about their ability to participate in a yoga class are welcomed to this practice.

We follow with a deliciously long Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) – a potent meditative guided relaxation practice for healing, insight, and empowerment. This involves getting really comfortable, usually lying down snuggled in with bolsters and blankets, and allowing the voice of the teacher to guide you through a journey of awareness. As your awareness moves around your body and beyond deeper relaxation and calm can occur, creativity and insight can arise and whatever healing is needed may begin. Yoga Nidra is a state of consciousness in which we are invited to re-encounter the essential truth of who we really are. In this space we are provided the opportunity to experience deep freedom and deeply nourishing rest. We are welcomed home to ourselves.

Suitable for all, no experience necessary – All welcome!

Suitable for: Absolutely everyone

Sivani Mata is a student of Bhakti Yoga (the yoga of love and devotion). She organised the UK’s first ever Bhakti Music Festival (in August 2011) and the Be Love: Bhakti Immersions which brought devotional musical practices from various traditions together as one, in the spirit of universal love and devotion. She leads Kirtan, Shakti Dance, Women’s Yoga and Yoga Nidra in London & around the UK. Her practice has been influenced by many teachers and traditions, and she is highly grateful for the people who have inspired her to live in trust and bhakti spirit in all aspects of life. Sivani feels incredibly blessed to have found this divine practice and be able to share it with others.

Private Classes

One to one sessions or small group classes are a great way to practice yoga at a time that suits you, with a class tailored to your needs and the full focus of the teacher. These can be booked for special occasions or events, to work on a particular aspect of your practice, improve your body awareness / alignment or to introduce you to the fundamentals of yoga so you feel confident joining a group class. Sessions can be held in the comfort of your own home, at your event venue or a suitable studio space can be arranged.

I am specialised in Yin Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga and Pregnancy yoga in particular however my experience means I can draw from much more than this to create something just right for you, your needs or your occasion.

Prices vary depending on the venue, group size and length of session. Contact Anne with your requirements.
