WEEKLY YOGA CLASSES | NORWICH
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 the quality of your Being.
Seasonal Ayurvedic guidelines and tips will be woven into the theme to support your diet and lifestyle.
“Wholeness is not the absence of difficulty, but the integration of all parts of ourselves, through breath, movement, and stillness.”
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 will notice postural improvements, enhanced ease of movement, and a calming balance of mind and body. Classes often conclude with an extended shavasana or Yoga Nidra, a powerful relaxation practice often called “yogic sleep,” guiding you to rest deeply and rejuvenate.
No prior yoga experience is necessary as 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."

Revel in Rest & Sacred Sound
22nd November, 6.30-8 PM
Happy Om Studio
Restorative Bhakti Offering ~ an evening of quiet devotion, community, and deep rest, bathed in the sacred resonance of mantra.
We will gather our presence once a month, chant together, and soften into longer-held restorative postures, nourishing ourselves on a deep cellular level.
Bhakti asks for nothing but honesty and heartfulness, a simple return and remembrance of what is sacred and steady within.
Let this be a pause… a space to listen, release, receive, and reconnect with the rhythm beneath the noise.
The practices of Yoga Nidra and Om Bath will add magic to our collective restoration.
All are welcome. Come as you are.

GATHER ~ Kirtan & Social
Happy Om Yoga Studio
28th November, 6.30-8 PM
This monthly gathering on the last Friday of the month (no session in October) 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.
-
Ayurvedic tea and delicious homemade treats
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, and even physical pain)
- The 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; strengthens 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 on 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 / £ 15 including tea and a homemade treat
A discounted rate is available for this offering if you are unable to pay the full price. Please just EMAIL.
SPECIAL EVENTS & DAY RETREATS | NORWICH & NORFOLK
SUBLIME TEACHINGS OF TANTRA
Śakti Sādhanā
Happy Om Studio
TBC
With compassion and deep reverence, I share these mystical, soul-centred practices I have been initiated into and lived with for over a decade as part of my sadhana (spiritual practice).
Step out of the everyday and into the living current of shakti (power, energy, or the dynamic creative force). From a non-dual perspective, shakti is not something separate we summon; it is the dynamic, creative pulse of the same reality that is stillness and awareness ~ the movement of life itself.
This gathering is an invitation to meet and explore mantra, prana and subtle body practices as living gateways rather than techniques to master, to sit in the fire of shakti and remember what has been inherently here all along.
We will move through:
-
Breath, mudra & asana – exploring, gathering, refining and directing prana shakti/vital force in a meaningful way
-
Mantra & japa – attuning to the vibration of sound
-
Meditation & self-inquiry – space to integrate what arises
-
Insights into traditional Tantric teachings, made accessible and embodied
The intention is to co-create a held, awake space where we can soften into a surrender, and the sacredness touched in practice can infuse everyday life.
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. This practice is not suitable for complete beginners. Secure your place for this experience at £27

Welcome a day of seasonal nourishment, inspiration, and deep rest. This Winter Wellness Day Retreat offers a space to slow down and reconnect ~ guided by the wisdom of Yoga, Ayurveda, and the gentle rhythm of R.E.S.T.

Our morning session will blend Yin Yoga and Myofascial Release - slow, supported postures and gentle release techniques designed to unravel deep tension and ease you into restorative stillness. A practice that allows your body to rest, your mind to quieten, and your nervous system to settle.
In the afternoon, you'll be guided through Yoga Nidra, a deeply restful guided relaxation. This is an invitation to return to balance, rebuild trust in your inner rhythm, and rest into the quiet of winter.
Throughout the day, you'll be nourished with warm digestive teas and a simple, nourishing lunch (GF & Vegan options available), supporting satiation and gentle digestion.
The Ayurveda lectures offer seasonal wisdom and practical insights, designed to be clear, grounding, and immediately useful, with space for questions and self-inquiry.
Above all, this retreat invites tenderness ~ tending to the heart, softening the edges, and meeting yourself just as you are in a supportive space of community.
