✨ THIS WEEK'S SCHEDULE ✨

Okay… we’re a little late with this one this week 😅 but we’re here now!

And if we’re honest, it kind of fits the energy of the season. Spring has arrived… and with it, that familiar sense of things picking up pace. Life feels a bit fuller, diaries a bit busier and suddenly there’s a lot more going on both around us and in our own lives.

Since the Spring Equinox, the light has shifted and everything feels like it’s gently (or not so gently!) moving again. It’s an energising time but it can also feel a little chaotic if we’re not careful.

This is where your practice comes in.

A space to land. To take a breath. To move your body and clear your head amongst the growing busyness. Whether you’re feeling full of energy or slightly overwhelmed by it all, there’s something here for you.

Everything is running as normal this week, with full details and availability reflected in the booking schedule. We can’t wait to see you in the studio 💛

Tuesday - 5.30pm Seasonal Flow* with Caoimhe
Tuesday - 7.15pm Shakti Yin with Caoimhe

🕉️ M A H A S H I V A R A T R I 🕉️ The Great Night of Shiva

Tomorrow, across India and beyond, this sacred night is marked with fasting, prayer, mantra and night-long vigil. Devotees gather in temples and homes to honour Shiva – the great yogi, the force of transformation, the one who dissolves illusion so truth can shine through.

Many stories are woven into this night. Some say it celebrates the divine union of Shiva and Parvati - consciousness and creative power becoming one. Others say it is the night of Shiva’s cosmic dance, the rhythm of creation, preservation and dissolution that moves through all of life.

In the yogic tradition, Shiva is the ultimate meditator, seated in stillness upon Mount Kailash – vast, steady and deeply present.

From our Ta***ic perspective however, Shiva is not only a deity to honour.

SHIVA IS AWARENESS ITSELF

The quiet presence beneath your thoughts.
The stillness beneath the movement of your life.
The spacious witness in which breath, sensation, emotion and experience arise.

If Shakti is the energy of life in motion, Shiva is the silent ground that recognizes it all.

Maha Shivaratri invites us to pause and remember this.

You don’t need elaborate ritual to align with the energy of the night. Simply create a little space:

Take a few slow breaths.
Sit in stillness for a moment.
Notice the silence between the thoughts.
Chant the mantra Om Namah Shivaya.

Rest, even briefly, as awareness itself.

Creating a small moment of presence or stillness on this sacred night can bring a sense of clarity, depth and quiet strength – a reminder that beneath the movement of life, there is something within you that is steady, spacious and whole.

Wishing you a peaceful and powerful Maha Shivaratri 🕉️

🌕 FULL MOON ∙ SNOW MOON ∙ STEADYING 🌕 The Full Snow Moon rises into the deep heart of winter, when the land is hushed, blanketed and holding. This is not the moon of beginning again, but of staying with ... with what has already been named, felt and set in motion.

Arriving on Imbolc, this moon shares the sky with the quiet return of Brigid, keeper of the hearth, the well and the flame that survives the dark. Not yet the blaze of spring, but the first warmth remembered in the body. A threshold moment: winter still present, yet something beneath it beginning to stir.

Traditionally the Snow Moon speaks of endurance, nourishment and quiet resilience. Of learning how to tend the inner fire when conditions outside are sparse. Where the Wolf Moon called us back to instinct and listening, this moon asks for steadiness. For commitment to what we are already carrying.

Astrologically, this Full Moon in Leo, casts its light through themes of creative expression and embodied leadership - illuminating with the Brigid energy, where we are asked to show up from the heart, rather than from effort or performance. It reveals how we inhabit our roles, our practices, our offerings and whether they are being fed from devotion, or depletion.

Full Moons do not ask us to do more.
They ask us to see more clearly.

✨ What is sustainable?
✨ What is asking to be simplified?
✨ What wants warmth, rest, or protection right now?

Under the Snow Moon, presence becomes practical. Ritual becomes care. Awareness becomes the way we keep ourselves alive to what matters.

May we move slowly.
May we tend the hearth.
May we trust the long work of winter.

Steady over spectacular.
Nourishment over force.
Truth over momentum.

Wishing you a grounded, gentle Full Moon - and a blessed Imbolc - held in the returning light. 🌕❄️🔥✨

🔥🌱 I M B O L C 🌱🔥 As the first stirrings of life begin to quicken beneath the frozen ground, we arrive at another threshold. Not yet spring, not still winter - but the liminal moment where intention warms into possibility. What is beginning to move in you now? What small, fierce flame asks to be tended?

Imbolc is the festival of returning light made tangible. The days are unmistakably lengthening and deep within the body of the land, sap rises and seeds swell. For millennia, people in these lands have honoured this quiet awakening - lighting fires, blessing wells and listening for the subtle signs that life is preparing to emerge.

This is a time not for grand declarations but for devotion. For showing up to what you are becoming before it has words or form. The work now is simple and profound: to listen, to nourish, to protect what is tender.

As the wheel turns and Brigid’s fire rekindles hearth, home and heart, may you trust what is stirring in the dark. Tend it gently. Walk slowly. The light is growing and so are you ✨

✨ BEYOND THE LIGHT - MEETING SATTVA WITH AWARENESS ✨

This final blog post in the series explores sattva not as a spiritual ideal but as a living, luminous balance - and the threshold it offers beyond the gunas themselves. . .

If Tamas is the weight of the earth and Rajas the fire of becoming, Sattva is the light that appears when weight and fire find balance. It is clarity without rigidity, calm without dullness, intelligence that knows when to move and when to rest.

Sattva reveals.

Where tamas obscures and rajas agitates, sattva allows us to see clearly - not by forcing stillness or suppressing desire but by bringing coherence to the whole system.

In a world of excess stimulation and chronic striving, sattva can feel almost radical. It invites us into discernment rather than judgement, presence rather than productivity, wisdom rather than reaction. Yet even this light has its subtle edge - clarity, too, can become something we cling to.

This is the final post in our series on the gunas - the subtle textures of consciousness and matter.

✨ THIS WEEK'S SCHEDULE ✨

A little later than usual, but arriving right on time for the subtle shift in the air… 🌱

As the days slowly lengthen and the first hints of stirring begin to make themselves felt, there’s a quiet sense of energy building beneath the surface. Not yet spring, not yet outward but a gentle re-awakening, a soft gathering of momentum that invites us to show up with curiosity rather than urgency.

This in-between moment is a beautiful time to stay close to practice: to move, breathe, and listen in ways that support what is beginning to emerge, without needing to name it all just yet ✨

Schedule-wise, everything is running as normal this week and all classes are going ahead as planned - full details and availability reflected on our Book Now page!

We look forward to seeing you on the mat 🤍

🌑 THE FINAL DARK HOURS 🌑 We are in the balsamic dark now - the final hours before the New Moon, when the psyche naturally turns inward and the pull is toward rest, release, and repair. This is the moon that heals, soothes, and draws us all the way in, back toward the deepest well.

In these last hours, there is little to do. This is not a time for effort or intention-setting, but for surrender - for allowing what has run its course to fall away without struggle. Old stories, tired identities, subtle clenchings we may not even have words for… this phase invites a full-bodied letting go.

In yogic language, this is Īśvara praṇidhāna - the offering of the self into something wiser, vaster, more trustworthy than the thinking mind. A relinquishing into the intelligence that knows how to compost what is finished and make medicine from what remains.

At 7.52pm, the New Moon arrives and with it the first quiet stirrings of the next cycle. Seeds will come soon enough. For now, we're still in the sacred portal of release - the dark that holds, heals, and makes space.

Let yourself be pulled all the way in 🌑

✨ Y I N & S O U N D with Christie Wood ✨Imbolc • Sunday 1st Feb • 10am–12pm

As we arrive at Imbolc, the turning point where the returning light first becomes visible, we gather for a morning of gentle renewal, quiet awakening and soulful care. This is a time to tend the inner flame, to clear space for what is beginning to stir, and to welcome the season ahead with softness rather than force.

Join us for restorative yin to nourish the body and soothe the nervous system, followed by a 45-minute immersive soundbath - weaving shamanic drum, Tibetan full-moon bowls, quartz crystal bowls and the warming, heart-opening resonance of the Venus Gong, all with our beloved collaborator Christie Wood.

This is your invitation to soften… to listen… to gently re-emerge…
A sanctuary of light, warmth and early-season renewal.

£40 / £36 members
Limited spots - early reservation recommended.
