Date: 13th November, 7.30pm

Time: 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm

Price: £15

Venue: Gracelands Yard 102 Liddell Gardens, NW10 3QE.

Forgiveness is one of the most powerful things we can do for ourselves.

Perhaps you don't wish to carry resentment around with you anymore? Or you're finding it difficult to forgive yourself for past events or decisions?

This circle is intended to hold space for each other while we engage with the incredibly clarifying work of forgiveness.

Tara Radakrishnan will be sharing what it means to her and walking you through an exercise that can offer great release and open heartedness.

Speaking and sharing about your experience is entirely optional. There is no religious affiliation with this practice. There is also no pressure or timeline to forgive.

Important shifts can occur when setting an intention amongst the kindness of others.

Bring: Journal, pen, 3-4 small flowers (all optional)

Jivamukti Yoga Introductory Class

Saturday 9th November

Time 2.30pm - 3.45pm

Facilitator - Aishwarya

Introductory Price - £10

Jivamukti Yoga is a globally respected yoga method and school first founded in New York in the 1980’s by Sharon Gannon and David Life.

With a strong emphasis on compassion for all beings, uplifting music, sound and chanting, meditation, breathwork and the study of the ancient yoga scriptures, the Jivamukti Yoga method offers modern practitioners a well-rounded approach to the ancient discipline of Yoga that goes far beyond just physical asana sequences.

~ Having said that, a strong asana practice rooted in the Ashtanga Yoga tradition is also to be found in every Jivamukti class, so there is something for everyone!

Aishwarya’s classes, which are strongly rooted in the Jivamukti Yoga tradition, are characterised by a changing monthly focus, energising vinyasa sequences, lively electro beats, as well as, ample space to be still and reflect on the deeper teachings of these ancient practices that Aishwarya passionately weaves into her classes.
