Yin Yoga & Pranayama

The Yoga Tree Studio 

Yin Yoga is a quiet, meditative practice of longer-held passive poses that enhance and renew the body's vital energy, ease joint-rigidity, immobility, and nourish the body at the whole level.

Yin aids with digestion, muscle repair, organ detoxification and emotional processing. The gentle, supported postures allow the connective tissue (ligaments, tendons, joints, and fascia) to strengthen, and with a consistent practice over 6 weeks, you will notice postural improvement, increased ease of movement and overall balance of mind & body.

This is perfect complementary practice to a more active Yang practice and busy lifestyles we live in. 

Practices will be accompanied with the Pranayama (breath work) to soothe the nervous system and purify the subtle body.

​

No previous Yoga experience is necessary and complete beginners are welcome. Appropriate for all ages and levels.

Soulful Yoga by Candlelight
The Yoga Tree & Online

 Join me for this weekly, early evening yoga practice in the supportive and nurturing space of the Yoga Tree studio or in the temple of your own home. We dim the lights, light a few candles and allow the practice draw our senses inward- because that is the place for all transformations and healing.

Exploring and returning to a sattvic state (equanimity, calm & balance) in a breath led practice with a focus on encouraging attention and ease.

Class begins with slow mindful flow and then transitions into a restorative practice with longer, more nurturing holds.

Finding the space of effortless awareness by surrendering in these passive poses; in which your body can remember it's innate state and learn to rest in the state of Being rather than doing and becoming.

Asana practice is accompanied with Mantra, Pranayama (breathing techniques) and finished with Savasana , Yoga Nidra (deep relaxation) or Meditation. All depending on the theme...

Open to all levels, no previous Yoga experience is necessary as alternatives and modifications will be offered to find what feels right in a given moment

"Something amazing happened. I finally managed to just 'observe' my thoughts, feelings and stay in the present moment for a while. Those whose minds always run at top speed know how difficult that can be. I guess sometimes everything just clicks...the timing is right and you meet people that truly represent what they teach and care about their students.  It feels like a fresh start.''

Kirtan
The Yoga Tree 
Sunday 12th December  7-8.30p.m

       -second Sunday of the month

​

Let's get together  and sing some kirtan, chant mantra and perhaps, if you wish, bring some mystic poetry or story to share...

Kirtan - devotional, melodic call and response chanting in Sanskrit
This event is by donation and all proceeds will go towards buying some more musical instruments, so we can make more of these harmonious melodies. Opportunity to allow the mind to move into the space of heart to experience our naturally blissful, most relaxed state.
Please register your space by emailing me on: 
contact@yogawithivana.co.uk

​

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 the Emotions
- Purifies our feelings - repeating a mantra with feeling internally (like in japa) short circuits the cascade of negative thoughts and emotions
bringing us back to the present moment
- Invokes Magic

​

 Physical Benefits of Group Singing
- Regulated breathing - Kirtan as a form of Pranayama (by causing us to
breathe deeply as we sing) -- increases 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, strengthens nervous system, creating relaxation,
releasing stress (lowers cortisol levels in the blood).
- Vagus nerve stimulation

- Social benefits
- Connection to others; strengthen feelings of togetherness, intimacy
- Vulnerability, sympathy
 

 Yoga as a Sacred Ritual
Happy Om Yoga Studio  2-4p.m 
Next session: 18th December

            -once a month on Saturday afternoon (usually third Saturday of the month) 

Movement, Mantra & Yoga Nidra- tapping into  the sacred in a way of living and being.

The meaning of ritual can extend to any right or repeated action done to align ourselves with the harmonious forces of nature & cosmic intelligence. 

Inviting some form of ritual into your everyday is the starting point to creating meaningful and deliberate connection with the present moment, and initiating a direct line of inquiry to the heart. By granting ourselves the permission to slow down and reconnect with our inner being, we enable our presence in the outer world to truly shine.

This offering will be a practice of:

       Yamas & Niyamas  - main principles and practices of an internal and external yogic & ayurvedic ethics

       Asana (physical practice) - aligned with theme & intention

       Mantra - they give plasticity and adaptability to the mind, soften and awaken the heart.  As the asana controls the body and pranayama controls the breath, so to, the mantra controls the mind. They balance and harmonize the energies in daily life

       Kirtan -Vedic chants accompanied with harmonium

       Yoga Nidra - deep guided relaxation practice 

No previous yoga experience necessary, just come as you are... 

If you hear Your calling (or even feel resistance, give it a try to break free!) please get in touch.

Booking essential  as spaces are limited  / £15

Rest & Restore 
  Happy Om Yoga Studio 6.30-8p.m
Friday 28th January

                             
                  Restorative Yoga- effortless call to remember rest and reclaim back what we may have forgotten is our true nature...

This practice is an invitation for moving and resting your body and mind in a very luxurious restorative way. Props are used to support the body so poses can be held longer, allowing the body to open through passive stretching. The postures are usually adapted from supine or seated yoga poses, and their shapes are modified to your individual self with blocks, bolsters, blankets and straps to eliminate unnecessary muscular effort.
We will be 'holding' each restorative yoga pose for a few minutes, even as long as 10 minutes.

It is an active form of relaxation. Specific body parts are alternately relaxed and stimulated, moving the body back to its natural balanced state. Some poses will have an overall positive effect on the body’s systems, while others will target a specific part, such as the chest or spine.
Restorative yoga practice is a journey inwards. Soothing, comforting, relaxing and renewing. It is excellent for reducing chronic stress, anxiety and exhaustion.

In this class Mantras will be used. Mantras are like Asanas (physical postures) for the mind. They give plasticity and adaptability to the mind, soften and awaken the heart.  As the asana controls the body and pranayama controls the breath, so the mantra controls the mind. They balance and harmonize the energies in daily life.

Join me for this practice and learn how to support Yourself by the nurturing power of rest and healing rhythm of stillness. 
Practice is followed by deep guided relaxation called Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep).

Booking essential as spaces are limited. Open to everyone and complete beginners are welcome  / £ 10

There will be opportunities to challenge yourself (physically and mentally) and to learn to rest in the inner landscape of your being through deep relaxation, pranayama ( control of the breath) and meditation.

​

A beautiful opportunity to get together, share this space and presence with each other.

Reflect & Align 
   The Yoga Tree 5-6.45p.m
Friday 31st December - New Year's Eve Special

                          - New Year's Eve Special

​

This will be an early New Year’s Eve practice that will prepare your body and mind  to reflect, to point towards things you would like to achieve, to show you what is holding you back and point towards steps to it's means.

Welcome yourself into a gentle  hatha yoga practice to prepare yourself for comfortable seated meditation. 
You will be treated to an extended relaxation- savasana which will allow you  to drop into a state of effortless ease. 
Last part of the practice will be pranayama, meditation and little journaling  to reflect & align...
I will leave the last 5-10 minutes for an open  discussion about the practice and there will be an option to stay for a chat with a cup of tea in each others company.

“Thank you for a beautiful practice. I feel now as if the new year began then, before the alignment of the hands of the clock at midnight. The call to align who we are, skilfully delivered by you into our homes, joining us together, was stronger that any artificially imposed timeframe. Perhaps what I mean is that my sense of status quo has been strengthened. That I can with greater confidence take this time for looking inwards, celebrating the chance to deepen my practice, developing more gratitude for what I have instead of being fearful of what I lack and assume I need” —H.B 

​

Booking essential as spaces are limited. Open to everybody and no previous yoga is necessary  / £ 15

Please reach out for customized pricing if you are experiencing financial difficulties. 

I look forward to share the last practice of 2021 together! Ivana x
