WEEKLY YOGA CLASSES
Monday 6-7.15 PM
Holistically Whole Yoga
The Yoga Tree
Practices that draw from the synergy of Yoga, Tantra and Ayurveda to assist your journey of deep restoration, wholeness and interconnectedness. Step into your most authentic Self and be in the flow of Life.
Understand the foundations of these complete systems for living in harmony with ourselves, each other, and nature. Practice at a slower pace, becoming more aware and learning to direct your attention (energy) in the direction you want to go.
Holistic means 'dealing with or treating the whole of something or someone and not just a part.' The idea is that when our whole system (body, breath, senses, mind, and soul) is in equilibrium, we are capable of healing any ailments ourselves—the intelligence of the body knows how to do its work! Our focus is on overall balance.
Each month, you will be guided through a specific theme. Each class will be an opportunity to release tension, fostering ease and steadiness in the physical body. Cultivate a deeper connection with your breath through asanas (postures), explore pranayama (breathing techniques), and mantra, and unwind with simple relaxation.
All in preparation for a guided meditation to exercise the muscle of your awareness (the most important muscle!) to restore mental intelligence and quality of your Being.
Seasonal Ayurvedic guidelines and tips will be woven into the theme to support your diet and lifestyle.
These classes are aimed at newcomers, oldcomers, people who would like to deepen their practice or just anyone who enjoys intentional and more in-depth practice. Inclusive for all levels.

Rest and Restore
Happy Om Yoga Studio
This practice blends the quiet, meditative essence of Yin Yoga with the therapeutic and nurturing approach of Restorative Yoga, offering you the ultimate opportunity to move inward, relax deeply, and renew your sense of Self. Through longer-held, passive postures supported by props like bolsters, blocks, and blankets, you’ll experience gentle stretching that strengthens connective tissues (ligaments, tendons, joints, and fascia), enhances joint mobility, and eases both physical and mental tension.
Each session is guided by a thoughtful theme and incorporates pranayama (breath work) to regulate the nervous system, promote balance, and purify the subtle body. Whether the focus leans toward Yin’s energy-renewing and detoxifying benefits or Restorative’s deeply soothing and stress-relieving qualities depends on the season, theme, and group’s energy. This combined practice is the perfect antidote to busy lifestyles, chronic stress, and exhaustion.
Expect guidance to sink deeply into poses adapted to your unique needs, allowing the body to open, restore, and heal. Over time, you’ll notice postural improvements, enhanced ease of movement, and a calming balance of mind and body. Classes often conclude with an extended Savasana or Yoga Nidra, a powerful relaxation practice often called “yogic sleep,” guiding you to rest deeply and rejuvenate.
No prior yoga experience is necessary—this practice is accessible to all ages and levels, welcoming complete beginners into the simplicity of these practices.
"When you own your breath, nobody can steal your peace."

Unravel and Rest
Happy Om Yoga Studio
This practice blends the gentle movements of Hatha and Restorative Yoga. Think of it as a process of undoing, unlearning, and unravelling everything that is not truly YOU—tension, knots, limited thinking, and patterns of stress, anxiety, depression, overthinking, and restlessness. We move, we release, and then we rest—settling into a deeply grounded and rest-FULL state of being.
Due to popular demand, I’m adding a few extra sessions on Thursdays! These classes will be offered in a 6-week series, running on specific dates, as Happy Om Studio provides a small and intimate space.
THURSDAYS | 6:30 - 7:45 PM

MONTHLY OFFERING
GATHER ~ Kirtan & Social
Happy Om Yoga Studio
4th April & 25th April 6.30-8 PM
- last Friday of the month * no Kirtan in March - two in April!
This gathering is an evening of community, sacred sound vibrations, mantras, kirtan chanting, and togetherness.
The word Mantra is derived from two Sanskrit roots; manas ‘mind’ and tra meaning ‘tool’. Mantra can teach the mind to become increasingly absorbed in that which is most essential. The Upanishads tell us that mantras can lead us towards healing, inspiration, transformation & and self-realisation.
"Mantra is a conversation between the self and divinity. All too often we separate ourselves from the divine, forgetting our truest nature. Chanting the names of God/Goddesses guides us back to a space of remembrance, of faith, devotion and love."
Kirtan - devotional, melodic call and response chanting in Sanskrit.
Calling upon the sacred sound allows your body and mind to absorb its resonance. Come and elevate yourself into a state of joy, unity, and deep connection.
What to expect from this offering:
-
Vocal warm-up, Indian scale chanting
-
Devotional, melodic call-and-response chanting of mantras in Sanskrit (you will learn the mantra pronunciation and meaning)
-
Satsang (sat means truth); therefore sitting in the company of the Truth, Q&A
-
Company of fellow human beings and deepening the connection to your self-essence.
Benefits of Singing + Chanting...why do we do it?
Transformation of the Mind
- Remembrance of Divine; remembrance of Self
- Purifies thoughts and alters habit patterns
- Calms the mind
- Upliftment of emotions
- Purifies our feelings - repeating a mantra with feeling internally short circuits the cascade of negative thoughts and emotions
bringing us back to the present moment
Physical Benefits of Group Singing
- Regulated breathing - Kirtan as a form of pranayama (by causing us to breathe deeply as we sing) -increases the flow of energy/prana throughout the whole system.
- Singing releases endorphins and oxytocin (lessens feelings of depression, loneliness, even physical pain)
- Brain is charged with positive energy
- Soothes, recharges, and strengthens the nervous system, creating relaxation, and releasing stress (lowers cortisol levels in the blood).
- Vagus nerve stimulation
- Social benefits
- Connection to others; strengthen feelings of togetherness, intimacy
- Vulnerability, sympathy
P.S: I know what some of you are thinking ‘’I can’t sing’’ or ‘’I am not good at singing’’. Please get over this false illusion as you may be missing out a lot. We all have a voice– let’s use it. You may start by listening and then humming eventually progressing – like any other practice.
BOOKING is essential as spaces are limited. Open to absolutely everyone / £ 12
A discounted rate is available for this offering if you are unable to pay the full price, please just email me.

Join me in this extended practice that blends the rich tapestry of Tantric Hatha Yoga, Kriya Meditation, Mantra, and Yoga philosophy. This offering invites you to delve into Tantra's profound power and sublime teachings.
Through intentional, centring asanas and the power of mantra, we will connect with and nurture our life force.

The session will close with a tantric meditation technique that draws you into quietude and heightened awareness, igniting the sacred fire within to recognise and abide in your true essence.
With reverence and compassion, I share these mystical, traditional, soul-centred practices that I have received and been initiated into. They are part of my Sadhana (daily spiritual practice) for more than a decade and allow me to live from a centred and conscious place.

Explore and discover:
-
Techniques that may shift your self-perception

Increased self-awareness

How to integrate these teachings to enrich your spiritual practice and evolve as a human being
-
We will demystify some of the concepts of these traditional teachings and make them 'digestible and accessible'
This offering is not about learning another technique or absorbing another concept; it is about YOUR direct experience of the 'unknown' and cultivating trust—shraddha—through it, in the unfolding process of Life.
Spaces are limited, and BOOKING is essential. Secure your place for this experience at £27.
