WEEKLY YOGA CLASSES | NORWICH
Monday 6-7.15 PM
Fall into the Presence Flow
The Yoga Tree
A holistic practice that invites curiosity, exploration, and self-inquiry to awaken awareness and a deeply felt connection to the essence of these ancient teachings.
These classes guide you through somatic and energy practices that are adaptable and spiritually rooted. They create space to build resilience in the whole body while connecting to inner guidance. The intention is to experience our sadhana (practice) as a path of deeper connection to one's self and the whole of life.
Each class often begins or concludes with a guided or sonic meditation to restore mental clarity and the quality of your being. Seasonal Ayurvedic wisdom and philosophy are woven into the theme to support and explore your whole Self.
"Presence is a doorway. It is the visceral experience of various facets of our true nature."
These classes are for newcomers, oldcomers, people who would like to practice with intention while remaining open to the many processes of becoming and being in their practice.
BOOK ONLINE for a single session for £11.50 or get a discounted price of £60 for six classes (it must be used within 8 weeks). No classes on the 22nd & 29th December - Happy Holidays!

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."

All are welcome. Come as you are.

GATHER ~ Kirtan & Social
Happy Om Yoga Studio
30th January, 6.30-8 PM
This monthly gathering on the last Friday of the month (no session in December) 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
AYURVEDA UN-OILED:
A Practical Guide to Daily Nourishment
24th January, 9.30-12.30/1.30 PM
Happy Om Yoga Studio
Explore Oil Therapies for Vitality, Immunity & Replenishment ~ OJAS
Ayurveda emphasises snehana (warm oil application) as essential for health and longevity, as it calms vata dosha, helps to moisturise, lubricate and remove toxins (ama).
Why You Would Want to Know These Practices?
Life today can leave us feeling drained, ungrounded, and disconnected from our own bodies. Stress, long hours, rushing around, poor sleep, travel, and constant digital stimulation all contribute to our energy and vitality being depleted. Ayurveda teaches that much of this strain comes from the gradual loss of ojas, our vital essence, and imbalances in our natural energies (doshas).
The oil therapies you will explore and learn in this workshop are the antidote to everything mentioned above. Abhyanga (whole body massage), nasya (nasal oiling), gandusha (oil pulling), karna purana (ear oiling), nabhi chikitsa (navel oiling), and scalp and foot massage with marma points are far more than trendy wellness “bio-hacks.”
They are practical tools rooted in ancient wisdom to replenish your body and mind, deeply nourishing your tissues, calming your nervous system, and building resilience from the inside out.
Beyond the physical benefits, these practices support your senses and mind. Nasya and sculp massage help clear mental fog – which invites clarity and focus, support hair growth, and reduce fatigue, while oil pulling and abhyanga strengthen immunity, oral health, and overall vitality. Karna purana helps soothe tension around the ears and head, supporting balance and sensory calm, while nabhi chikitsa supports circulation in the lower belly and can be especially grounding and nourishing for hormonal balance. Best of all, each practice can be personalised to your constitution, the seasons, and your current state, making this kind of self-care truly effective, sustainable and enjoyable.
These rituals offer a space to slow down and reconnect with yourself. In the quiet, intentional act of oiling and massaging, you cultivate presence (calming the vata dosha a big time!), self-connection, and a daily rhythm. This is a time-tested path to balance, rejuvenation, and longevity.
This workshop is for you if you want to:
-
Reverse depletion and build vitality & immunity (ojas)
-
Calm and regulate your nervous system
-
Improve the quality of your sleep
-
Support your senses and brain function
-
Prevent aches, joint, and muscle issues
-
Enhance natural detoxification and digestion
-
Cultivate a ritual that deepens your connection to yourself
Don’t worry - you won’t have to spend a fortune on oils! I will share reliable, accessible sources so you can incorporate these rituals easily at home, plus you will receive a gift to get you started right away! Different oils and formulas will be available to explore and sample on a day.
Investment:
3-hour workshop with herbal teas and a small gift included – £45,
Or stay for an extra hour and enjoy lunch with us – £54
Limited availability, please BOOK online or EMAIL with further enquiries.
