Sapranah Sunday Sādhana

Each Sunday morning, the most extraordinary women gather in my studio and online, returning to their mats with a devotion that humbles me every single week. We often laugh and call it Sarah’s Sunday Service, yet beneath the humour lies something infinitely more sacred, a discipline, a dedication, a chosen return.

In Sanskrit, sādhana comes from the root √sādh, meaning to accomplish, to realise, to bring to completion.
A sādhana is therefore a committed, methodical, transformative practice: a path one chooses with steadiness and devotion, leading not outward but inward, towards refinement, clarity, and inner realisation.

And so we return, again and again:
to the mat,
to the breath,
to the ground,
to the remembrance of who we are beneath all that we carry.

Together we move, breathe, soften, and shed. Layers fall away. The noise dissolves. The body remembers itself. Each posture reaches into those quieter places within us, the organs, the glands, the fascia, the emotions, the subtle stories held in the tissues, and beyond that, into the energy body, the luminous being within the three-dimensional form.
In this space, we reconnect with that inner radiance, that subtle field of awareness and vitality that so often lies forgotten beneath the surface of everyday life.

This is yoga in its purest meaning:
yuj: to yoke, to join, to unite, body, breath, mind, and soul.

What unfolds here each week is not merely a class, but a communion with source, with self, and with one another. A sanctuary of discipline, presence, and return.

To these women who show up with grace, humour, honesty, and heart, I am endlessly grateful. I love you, I care for you, and I hold you with reverence. Thank you for making our Sunday Sādhana what it truly is:
a path of remembrance, refinement, and quiet transformation.

Sarah 🙏🏽

A Winter Solstice Gathering………

As the year draws toward its quiet close, we gather to honour the still point of the sun’s descent, the Winter Solstice. In Sanskrit, Daksinayana names the sun’s southward journey, when light yields to darkness before its slow return. It is the longest night, a sacred pause in the rhythm of Surya, the eternal sun we honour still, even as his radiance softens.

This afternoon invites deep rest and renewal through yielding Yin, Restorative Yoga, pranayama, and a closing Yoga Nidra with live sound bath, a sanctuary of calm before the season’s haste. To close, we will share Jane’s warming Ayurvedic tea and her handmade festive cake, simple nourishment offered in stillness and grace.

Share this with someone you love, a daughter, son, partner, or friend. A quiet gift of warmth, reconnection, and light beneath the winter sun.

Sapranah Visuva Candra ~ New Moon, 21 September

Beneath the dark moon, on the threshold of the Equinox, we gathered to honour Mahākālī, the great force of destruction and transformation. With reverence for the ancient teachings, especially the Ta***ic, and deep respect for the energy we were invoking, we created a sacred space for true transmutation.

We wrote what we wished to release, fears, untruths, and the patterns that hold us back, and offered them to the fire. Through gentle āsana and mudrā we awakened Idā Nāḍī, the lunar channel, and then we shook, powerfully and collectively, releasing through movement what words could not.

From this shaking, a stillness arose. We chanted with the sacred geometry of the Kālī Yantra, holding Kālī Mudrā to steady the mind in meditation. We closed with a classical inversion from the Kundalinī tradition, refining awareness at Viśuddhi and awakening subtle awareness through Bindu Chakra, where the lunar essence, Soma, is said to drip as Amṛta, the inner nectar of immortality.

As the outer world fell into darkness, we entered the fertile ground of transformation, ending in silence, reflection, and shared Ayurvedic nourishment.

What we create as a collective is sacred. This is but an essence, a glimpse into the work we honour together.
Thank you to all who came, who trusted, and who met the darkness with such beauty and respect.

Sapranah Yoga
Honouring the dark. Awakening the light.

🌑 ~ Sapranah Viṣuva Candra ~ 🌑

On the night of the new moon, when the sky withdraws its light and the equinox holds day and night in equal measure, we meet for a unique immersion that I have created through Sapranah. This is Viṣuva Candra - a counterpoint to Surya’s fire, moving us inward to the subtler currents of moon and shadow.

We begin with a shaking meditation, followed by prāṇāyāma, voice, vibration, and the cultivation of meditativeness. This evening is not about forcing meditation, but allowing ourselves to incline towards it - becoming present with mantra and silence, letting the energy body move with sound, stillness, and breath. Sankalpa - the heart’s true intention - threads quietly through all that we do.

Two hours of practice are sealed in community with a nourishing Ayurvedic tridoṣhic meal, lovingly prepared to support balance for every constitution. We close together, replenished in body and spirit, with gratitude at the centre.

Viṣuva Candra is a night to bow to balance, to honour the moon, and to embrace the darkness as guide: a threshold into winter, a time of trust, release, and renewal.

I would love you to be a part of this gathering………. 🌑 Link in bio to book 🙏🏽

🔱 SAPRANAH SURYA • Summer Solstice • 21.06.25 🔱

Sapranah Surya was birthed…
And it was light.
Bursting with radiance on one of the hottest days of the year,
the Sun high in the sky, the breeze soft and stirring,
as though the very presence of Surya could be felt in the air,
subtle yet unmistakable.
The atmosphere was charged with something sacred, and we were held within it.

A sacred circle of luminous beings gathered for this first offering,
to mark the turning of the Sun,
to bow to the source of all life,
to remember what it means to embody Surya -
the Sanskrit name for the Sun, the golden one praised throughout the Vedas,
the eternal witness of all becoming.

Together, we moved in rhythm with breath and stillness, chant and silence -
an offering of embodied devotion.
The space shimmered with vitality; grounded, expansive, alive.
Each being present glowed with the brilliance of the light they came to honour.

You held SAPRANAH Surya with me.
And I shall carry that knowing in my heart always.

Throughout the evening, we honoured the ancient Sanskrit invocation -
the Gayatri Mantra, seed of the Vedas, mantra of illumination:

“We meditate on the radiant splendour of that divine Sun,
source of all life and light.
May that sacred light illuminate our minds and awaken our deepest wisdom.”

This is the essence.
This is why we gather.
To remember.
To return.
To radiate.

With unspoken gratitude and reverence for ALL who came and for those who came to serve by my side - - forever grateful 🙏🏽

🔱 SAPRANAH Yin Yoga ~ A New Chapter Begins 🔱

Two weeks in, and the new branch of SAPRANAH Yin Yoga is beginning to take root, carried gently by breath, by community, by the quiet willingness to yield.

For many years, I taught in expansive, well-equipped studios, places where you simply arrived and everything was already laid out. But now, it is I who bring the sanctuary. Bolsters, blocks, mats, blankets, candles… all of it packed with intention, and placed one by one to shape a sacred space. This new rhythm is unfamiliar, but beautiful.

The shift into larger group sessions came from the quiet knowing that Yin Yoga is needed, deeply needed. It’s a practice that many have never truly experienced. Not Restorative. Not passive. But spacious, sensation-filled, devotional. A yielding, rather than a collapsing. An intimacy with the self, even in a room full of others.

I couldn’t have done this alone.

To , my middle son, thank you for carrying everything (including me!) and actually being here for once.
To , gifted craniosacral therapist, who introduced me to the hall and helped me set up with such grace, thank you.
To Claire .elixir, for the lending of your exquisite non-toxic candles and your light - thank you.
And to the women who’ve stayed close to my teaching, through all its seasons - thank you for helping this offering expand.

A small nod to and - who, though they were meant to be yielding into stillness, were quietly capturing moments through the lens. I forgive you both, just this once ☺️

These photographs offer a glimpse into what we’re creating together.

This larger space is simply an extension of the intimate work we’ve always done, still candlelit, still nurturing, still precise in its purpose. If you’re curious, if Yin is new to you, or if you’re seeking something gentler but not passive, tender but also powerful, this may be your path.

You don’t need to bring anything. I will bring it all for you. All you need to do is arrive.

With love and quiet joy,
Sarah x
