Yoga Nidra is “Yogic sleep” and one hour of Yoga Nidra is said to equate to four hours sleep. Yoga Nidra encourages profound relaxation and effortlessness.
The term Yoga Nidra derives from two Sanskrit words, Yoga meaning union and Nidra meaning sleep. It’s a beautiful practice when one appears to be in a state of sleep, but the consciousness is working on a deeper level of awareness.
It’s a deep relaxation to harmonise the deeper unconscious and awaken inner potential to connect to a meditative state of being.
This systematic method of inducing complete mental, emotional and physical relaxation is suitable for all practitioners.
For a busy mind, Yoga Nidra enables to find stillness. It is a great way to bring calm, presence and peace for those who suffer from insomnia and those who are practicing on their mindfulness and awareness.

Shantiseva Vinyasa classes are spiritually taught classes and open to all students.
This uplifting class connects movement and breath through the practices of pranayama (breathing exercises), music (sound), chanting (mantras) and meditation.
The practice connects with the five healing nature elements; air, ether, fire, water and earth, and therefore brings grounding and balance within as well as our connection to nature and Mother Earth. The healing qualities of nature will lift our mental, physical and spiritual bodies.
Shantiseva Vinyasa classes also connects us with the spiritual practice of Seva (selfless practice) which is Karma yoga, the yoga of action, that brings together service with devotion to Bhakti and Shanti which is a Sanskrit term meaning “peace”.

Clive will introduce you to the coaching process and accompany you every step of the way so that you too can transform your life.
Sophrology
Sophrology is a mind-body therapy based on breathing exercises, relaxation techniques, gentle movements (called dynamic relaxations) and mindfulness-based visualisations.

Claire has over 25 years’ experience working with energy healing techniques.
She has used a pendulum for many years and has become very interested in its use for divination and healing using charts and is excited to be able to share her knowledge by running workshops here at The Isbourne Centre.
Whether you are struggling with health issues, financial difficulties, relationship issues or spiritual challenges, your subconscious mind knows EVERYTHING and always knows exactly what needs to released. This information can easily be accessed using energetic muscle testing. This system is perfect to use on children and animals and can be done distantly using a photograph, name and age.

Ashtanga Primary Series is also called Yoga Chikitsa, meaning Yoga therapy, because of the cleansing and toning effect it has on both body and mind. The Primary Series is an inward practise, noticing the body and stepping away from what goes on around you to find stillness in your mind and to focus on your breath.
Sunny will guide you through the Ashtanga Primary series which is suitable for beginners and the more advanced practitioners.
You will learn to follow a set sequence of postures (Asanas) building strength, flexibility and endurance in the physical body. It also realigns, loosens tight muscles and detoxifies the body and nervous system.

Are you ready to embark on a journey of self-transformation? Join James D’Angelo, a leading authority on sound healing, in uncovering one of the great aspects of attaining true sound health through the tuning of the chakras.
In this unique workshop, James will introduce you to vocal homeopathy, and its processes by which the chakras are stimulated and re-tuned, clearing blockages and releasing fine energies.
Alongside the therapeutic use of voice, he will bring in embodiment practices with Chi Kung-like movements integrating them into the toning practices.
Finally, and complementary to the chakra work, you will experience samples of Taoist healing sounds/movements. Learning mantras for the subtle energy field, and drawing vocal sound within as a form of meditation.
No previous experience is necessary, only a deep intent to be your true Self.
