Slow and Strong - a masterclass with Ahmed Zambarakji
Join Ahmed Zambarakji for a one-off event geared towards intermediate and experienced practitioners.
The afternoon will centre around the ways in which small, conscious tweaks can create a quantum leap in our asana practice. The masterclass isn’t about big, crazy shapes or explosive movements - rather it’s about breathing new life into postures that will already be familiar to students with a regular practice. Through refined cueing and inventive sequencing, we’ll uncover new depths in postures that might feel stale or, worse yet, ‘simple’!
We'll work at a slow and steady pace through a sequence that is interspersed with skill-based drills and humour. The afternoon will feature meditation and pranayama.
The last masterclass sold out quickly! Book your space early to guarantee a spot.
Season Slowing - Into Spring
Every season brings its changes, its fluctuations and those moments to shake off what was, and intentionally ease into a new rhythm.
A seasonal slowing encourages us to move with the changes rather than against them, maybe we can find more flow, growth and ease in cohesion with that evolving around us.
As spring brings new beginnings, a change of pace and budding potential, take a moment with me to intentionally connect to this gentle stirring of new life around us. Though the beginning of spring can feel quite lethargic and heavy as we try and pick up the pace and wait patiently or not for those warmer days, sometimes we need to slow down and guide in a gentle reawakening of fresh air and clearing to the deepest parts of ourselves. An afternoon of breath and movement to set intentions, balance the elemental shifts and clear through what feels a little tough and sticky from those darker months.
On the Mat with Nat
The Mat is a mind-body workout that activates your deepest muscles and expands your heart open.
This 60-minute practice will guide you through a continuous flow of movement and breath, aligning cardio progression with pilates principles to create heat and inspire release.
Driven by music and centred around community, this class is all about gathering minds and bodies to enter a soulful state of surrender; to push through a reckoning with resistance; and to leave with a shift in perspective.
Expect nostalgic beats, intentional cues and hardcore flows that celebrate every body.
A Spring Renewal
Channelling the element of water, this workshop will be focused on opening, on shedding, on becoming. On stepping out into the lightness and vibrant energy of spring.
The second of a four-part series (although you don’t have to have made the first one!), this two hour workshop will be based around the hips. Expect some meditation, journalling, dynamic vinyasa and yin.
You’ll leave with a spring in your step [we couldn’t help ourselves sorry…]

Front-splits and Flexibility Workshop
Flexibility is so much more than just stretching – and this 2-hour workshop will prove you just that as you explore how to get into the front splits and its variations.
Combining passive and active flexibility, Jade will guide you through a series of drills, strengthening exercises and techniques that will not only help you learn fun poses but also gain control over your body.
Designed to improve your overall range of motion and mobility, we will work safely and gradually on creating more space in the body whilst staying in tune with our sensations and breath. We will close this practice with some breathwork and restorative poses, allowing our body and mind to completely relax. An invitation to explore and feel, to surrender and let go.
Open to all levels, bodies and abilities with options for everyone – and no, you do not need to be able to touch your toes to attend (but who knows, maybe you’ll be able to afterwards!)
This workshop is the first of a series of 4 exploring different parts of our body and aspects of our practice.
Unwind Pt. 2 w/ Sophie Deakin
Join Sophie for “Unwind Pt. 2” a workshop focused on leaning into softness, working with it, and becoming comfortable with shifting your pace to suit the season.
Together you will explore yogic breath, Pranayama, before practicing a deliciously nurturing Hatha-Vinyasa yoga flow. Your time together will come to an end with a guided meditation, Yoga Nidra, and closing relaxation.
In the busy life we lead it’s so important yet sometimes so hard to gift ourselves time to “unwind”. Expect to leave feeling a little lighter and looser, helping you lean into this comforting and cosy season.
Mandala Masterclass w/ Amber
Join Amber in a two-hour grounding elemental mandala workshop with a focus on Earth. When you give yourself the time to cultivate a deeper connection to Earth you start to feel into your physical abundance and infinite creativity.
Mandala vinyasa moves in a 360-degree circle around the mat. It works with a firm intention and, like our bodies, it is linked to the four basic elements of the universe - Air, Fire, Water, and Earth. Each of these elements has its corresponding chakra and muscle groups so each class will work to a specific area of the physical and energetic body.
This workshop is open to all levels. Expect inversion breakdowns to the practice as well with tips on handstand, pincha and headstand too.
Co Class with Maria Pacha and El Wilder
Mark your diaries for our next co-class and begin the year with this intention-setting, grounding co-class, led by Maria and El.
The first of a four-part series, this workshop will be sequenced around the earth element and the root chakra. Expect some meditation, journalling, dynamic vinyasa and yin.
Establish a strong connection with the present moment and leave with a feeling of stability, ready to enter the brand new year.
