AMRITA: A Somatic Series
6 week course - Thursday 12:00pm
Class Duration: 1 hour
Next start date: September TBC
In person | Westbourne Street, Hove | £90
An evolution of Nectar class, Amrita offers a gentle yet profound exploration of the body through soft, fluid, rhythmic movement.
In this trauma attuned class, focus will ebb and flow through different relationships within the body, for example, the sacrumandsternum, exploring how these areas respond to life’s challenges and can release through tender movement and breath awareness.
The word Amṛta in Sanskrit is often translated as ‘nectar’, yet its meaning is much deeper. Amrita is the ‘elixir of immortality’. While this course won’t make you immortal (!), it will help you cultivate vitality and ease, softening the parts of you that feel stuck physically or emotionally.
Through these gentle somatic practices, we’ll signal safety to the nervous system and awaken the body’s natural capacity for restoration.
You’ll be guided through fluid, soothing movements, somatic awareness practices and yogic-style breathwork that together cultivate more grounding, nourishment and ease.
This class tends to be lying down and with little props. Recommended for everyone, especially those who wish to restore ease, reduce burnout, inflammation and nurture agency and connection to their body.
4 in-person spaces maximum.
Suitable for all levels of experience.
PRANAYAMA: Yogic Breathwork
6 Week Course - Mondays 6:30pm
Class Duration: 1 hour
Next start date: September TBC
In Person: £90 | Online: £72
The way we breathe directly influences the ‘state’ we are in. Whether we are in fight or flight, social & relaxed, frozen or collapsed. Each of these states determine how we approach everything with in each moment!
The breath reveals all! It is of no surprise that the ancient yogis developed breath based practices that truly alter these states, clear perception and move us towards the state of yoga: union/integration!
In this course we will explore therapeutic breath based practices, rooted in traditional hatha yoga techniques and adapted to suit you as you are right now.
We will:
• Explore breath patterns that bridge connection to the mind-body
• Restorative postures that naturally support expanding the breath
• Breathing techniques that can induce down-regulation without dissociating
• Practices that support deeper sleep and better digestion
• Application of sound to enhance somatic enquiry and experience
• Breath ratios that stabilise attention, reduce overwhelm and importantly are spontaneous and not forced!
This course is suitable for those experiencing:
Chronic stress
Ongoing overwhelm
Sleep difficulties
Anxiety
Curious about pranayama
As this is therapeutic in nature, for those joining online cameras will need to be on and set up so I can see you well. This allows me to observe posture, rib movement, facial tension and subtle holding patterns so I can guide alignment and breath mechanics more safely and accurately. Even online I will be teaching attentively.
I’ll be guiding restorative postures and somatic principles making sure practices are safe, accessible and effective. Over the weeks we will experience how prana expands when the body trusts, how breath can become a pathway back to choice, capacity, and liberation in daily life.
This class will explore breathing practices that are suitable for you, just like with all somatic and body based practices there is no one size fits all, so this class will meet your needs as we explore these very old and wonderful practices!!
