Something (and someone!) lovely is coming your way for the new moon on Friday 17th April at 7pm.

Join for a new moon sound bath.
£20 / 5 credits

Intention setting, guided relaxation and a deep sound journey.

According to astrologers, a new moon provides an opportune point in time to set fresh intentions. Energetically, the beginning of a new lunar cycle offers a clean slate. You may wish to consider what you’d like to embody, or work towards over the coming mooncycle, planting seeds of purpose with meditation, affirmation or visualisation.

We’ll open with some gentle somatic practice and calming breath-work. You will then be guided through a meditation to help facilitate the formulation of your deepest intentions, before we flow into our sound bath.

You will receive the therapeutic sounds of a variety of instruments including crystal singing bowls, gong, buffalo drum, and chimes.

The harmonies, vibrations, and rhythms of the instruments played during a sound bath can induce an altered state of consciousness. Our brainwaves may settle to an alpha-theta state, the mystical realm between sleep and wakefulness where visions, insight or inspiration may arise. You may enter a state of deep relaxation, and so emerge with a greater sense of clarity and presence. Benefits of sound bathing include stress relief, improved sleep, pain reduction, and emotional release.

No effort is required from you - this is an invitation to rest, release, and receive.

Whether you’re a totally terrified beginner or you can kick-up to handstand but don’t always find your balance there yet, this class is for you.

Tuesdays 18:20 with

You’ll learn and improve on the three main elements of handstands:
- shoulder strength and mobility
- awareness of straight-line alignment

This class will be progressive and full of fun and playfulness. You’ll get to know how to safely spot handstands, efficient techniques for kicking up and jumping into handstand, as well as how to safely fall out.

Postnatal Roll & Release Series
Tuesday 9th Feb - 2pm
£18 / 6 credits (you can use your postal bundles 💚)

A gentle, supportive rolling series for postnatal mums, using partially inflated pilates balls to encourage muscular release, ease tension and restore comfort throughout the body.
Each class focuses on specific areas commonly affected after pregnancy and birth, supporting relaxation, mobility and a sense of ease in everyday movement.

Session 1: Monday 9th Feb, 2pm - Neck, Shoulders & Upper Back

Designed to help you release tension in areas commonly affected by feeding and holding babies, and post-pregnancy postural changes too.

We’ll use partially inflated pilates balls to create a supportive rolling surface that encourages muscular release without pressure or force, alongside breath and gentle movement, to create space and lightness in the body.

This class will help you:
Release neck and shoulder tension
Reduce fatigue related tightness
Find calm and embodied awareness.

A nurturing, grounding class that will leave you feeling more comfortable, upright and at ease in your daily movement and more connected to your own body.

An oasis of calm in East London

Press pause on London-life and step into our urban retreat. Here on the Roman Road, we’re creating a space that’s more than a yoga studio. You’ll find meditation, mindfulness, pregnancy and post-natal classes, as well as a variety of yoga styles. There’s a sustainable lifestyle store - and workshops and events too.
