Kindred Being

Kindred Being A facilitator of movement & meditation, a practitioner of herbal medicine, a lover of nature.

As a degree-qualified Clinical Herbalist I am highly trained to combine the traditional wisdom and energetics of plant medicine with the skilled clinical experience of a health practitioner, utilising current scientific research and appropriate medical examinations to validate the prescribed treatment, specific for each individual. The yoga classes I facilitate are inclusive and open to all, regardless of prior experience. I have been teaching in a variety of spaces (studio, corporate, large groups, private) for 8+ years. Overall my approach as a facilitator is grounded, effective and intuitive as I encourage gentle self-enquiry and deep connection to self utilising movement, breath and meditation. Continuing to study and accumulate knowledge of the spiritual, emotional and physiological realms of being human; shedding light on our inherent self-healing capacity and; exploring the prevention of mental and physical dis-ease, I aim to cultivate a safe and nourishing place for personal growth, vitality and well-being.

Happy Summer Solstice folks ☀️
My classes over the coming weeks will have a little extra consideration & alignment as part of Summer Intensives Program (check timetable for full schedule)

I’ll be sharing two Kundalini & Yin back-to-back experiences…

Mon 29th Dec
💝 Building Self-Love
Constructed to build self-love by opening the energetic pathways of compassion and softening any emotional defense that we armour the heart with.
We’ll journey through Kundalini kriya utilising breath, mantra and rhythmic movement to expand the heart field and awaken the frequency of compassion. From this place of self-reverence we’ll transition into Yin shapes that emphasise the Heart and Pericardium meridians which govern joy, emotional expression and the capacity for connection, to self and other.

Mon 5th Jan
🎨 Cultivating Creativiy
Designed to cultivate creativity by relaxing the mental chatter, allowing creative impulse to come through clearly, and harness the energy of the Liver and associated Wood element which symbolise planning and new beginnings.
We’ll begin with a Kundalini kriya which will build sensitivity to our inherent creative life force and move into Yin shapes that emphasise the Liver meridians as a means to further open the channels of inspiration and expression.

And! Excited to be sharing Qi Gong again, it’s been a while…

Sat 3rd Jan
Qi Gong Workshop
🌀 Flow of the Five Elements
In this 90-minute journey we’ll flow through all Five Elements according to Traditional Chinese Medicine, using gentle Qi Gong exercises to explore the energetic qualities of each element and associated organ/emotion. From the clear releasing energy of Metal, to the fluid resilience of Water, the expansive growth of Wood, the radiant warmth of Fire, to the grounding strength of Earth.
The workshop concludes with a restorative guided relaxation to integrate the experience, leaving you balanced, centred and recharged.

Online and In-person, booking through Momence

Plus join me for regular scheduling tomorrow Mon 22/12 KY 6:30pm and Yin 7:45pm ☺️

🌬️prāṇa
‘This great law some know, but few put into practice: Continuously think that your body is full of vitality, especially at times when it seems weak, and you will feel strength percolating into your body from the mind. You will start to open a new, secret, invisible source of self-vitalisation apart from the external material sources of food, air, and sunlight.’
- from the talks and writings of Paramahansa Yogananda

This meditation is believed to help resist stress, trauma, and illness utilising breath patterning (pranayama) and hand/ finger position (mudra). The combination of these two Yogic techniques done in meditation, accesses the two brain hemispheres and the rest and digest (parasympathetic) state of our nervous system, to bring about balance, endurance and calm.

This is one of the meditations and techniques we will explore in the Yoga Therapy for Chronic Health Conditions 8-week course
https://momence.com/17085/upcoming-events/123279600

Together we’ll create a space where you’ll be guided weekly through gentle movement, meditation, mantra (chanting), and rest to access your inherent wisdom, harness your sense of health and vitality, plus be reminded that your body is a safe place to be in despite your diagnosed condition and symptoms.

The paper provides a compelling conceptual demonstration of how much better the trajectory could be under a whole person paradigm. As a holistic health practitioner grounded in health science, I see Option B as the ethically superior and pragmatically wiser path for healthcare systems, practitioners, and clients alike.

If there is anything I’ve discovered along my journey of wellness and wellbeing, it’s the combination of different methods and modalities to give a well-rounded (holistic) sense of health, healing and balance.
