12th January
Arkümu Breathwork and Movement
with Dawn Simone
12th January | 12-2pm
£35 / £30 (members & concessions)
Join Dawn for Arkümu Breath, a transformative 90-minute Breathwork & movement workshop (allow 2 hours) designed to awaken and move your energetic body, release stored emotions and clear the mind. Through the power of a rhythmic breathing technique, you’ll create space for creativity, healing and restoration.
During this music-driven session, we’ll begin by moving the body to calm the mind and open the heart, allowing for deeper connection to your inner self. As you engage in repetitive breathing patterns, you’ll explore physical sensations, emotional releases, and shifts in energy, guiding you through a profound journey of self-discovery.
By the end of the session, you can expect to recalibrate your nervous system, release blocked energy, and leave feeling deeply restored and rejuvenated.

6-Week Course Yoga Flow for Beginners
with Jesse Ng
6-weeks starting 18th January | 10:30-11:30am
£70/ £65 (concessions)
Dates (2025): 18/1, 25/1, 1/2, 8/2, 15/2, 22/2
Yoga flow (Vinyasa) classes are often taught at a fast pace. For this reason, they are generally offered at an open level and not catered for absolute beginners.
This 6-week beginners course aims to puncture that assumption by breaking down different elements of the Vinyasa method.
Each week, we begin with preparatory stretches and conditioning exercises that lead to the key asanas (poses) in sun salutations A and B. Taking Vinyasa as a comprehensive method of yoga not as a sport but as a holistic way of being, we will explore how the asanas are connected with the Eight Limbs of Yoga, the philosophical underpinnings of yoga as a spiritual practice according to Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra.
Since this is a practical hatha yoga course (hatha yoga is a branch of yoga that uses physical movement as a method to regulate body-mind), we will practice at least one full round of sun salutation from Week 1– from a slow step-by-step guided sequence to building up confidence and pace in Week 6. Vinyasa is a fiery method that uses discipline and persistence to activate the deep love and resilience we all have within us. A curious open mind and a willingness to learn and apply are essential.
Week 1: Hamstring Flexibility, Dhristi and Ujjayi Breathing
Building the basic hamstring flexibility for the key asanas in sun salutations, such as uttanasana and adho mukha svanasana. Introduction to the use of gaze and deep resonant breaths.
Week 2: Chest Opening, Yama and Niyama
Working towards an open chest and shoulders. Connecting heart-opening asanas with yogic discipline.
Week 3: Alignment and Breathwork
An alignment-focused class on samasthiti, virabhadrasana I, II and III, trikonasana and pashchimottanasana.
Week 4: Hip-opening and Pratyahara
Hips and the gate to tune in.
Week 5: Dharana and the Vinyasa Method
Concentration and the Structure of Vinyasa as a Meditative Method
Week 6: Dhyana and Just Flow
Absorption/the Dissolution of Boundaries and just flow.
19th January
Shake it off: TRE to Balance the Nervous System & Promote Healing
with Bethany Marshall
19th January | 11am-1pm
£35 / £30 (members, concessions)
What is TRE?
TRE is a somatic-based body therapy for anyone struggling with anxiety, stress, trauma/PTSD or just to further self-awareness. TRE induces the body's natural tremors to support the regulation of the nervous system, restoring internal balance.
Benefits include reduced anxiety, deep sleep, more energy, less muscular pain, better circulation and clarity of the mind.
Workshop will include:
Introduction to TRE and the science behind it
Overview of Polyvagal Theory
Exploration of grounding exercises
Physical practice of inducing the tremors
Debrief and optional sharing
How to incorporate TRE in your life
Bethany Marshall
(Psychologist, Somatic Body Worker, Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher and TRE Facilitator)
I began my journey through scientific study to discover how modern environments have affected our health and mental wellbeing. Modern environments often encourage disconnecting from natural instincts which, in turn, inhibit the body’s natural healing process. I found that disconnection to our bodies and community were a vital factor in determining mental stability after traumatic experiences. I incorporate this in my work as a therapist by finding creative ways, allowing individuals to connect to their internal cues and identify their needs.
While living in Thailand, I found TRE and believe it is a wonderful way of empowering individuals - making them feel more in control of their internal regulation. By creating a safe space for people to learn about themselves and their bodies, I want to help people heal and move through their past without having to re-live it. I intend to spread a message of hope that the body has an innate ability to heal itself. I do not believe in telling you what you should do, I’m simply here to guide you as you learn to listen to the wisdom that your body already has.
