Authentic Dating welcomes all men, women & non-binary people aged 18+, both monogamous & non-monogamous. This event is primarily for hetero / bisexual identifying people. While the aim is to pair you with a gender different to your own, this is not always possible. You will however have the opportunity to explore many different kinds of connections, not only romantic!

Join Bethan at MovingFormsYoga for this series of workshops designed to explore the principles and practical steps for approaching challenging poses.

We start with crow pose (bakasana): a deep-forward folding arm-balance pose that requires strength, flexibility, balance, and courage.

We'll move through a vinyasa flow designed to prepare us for the pose - and then create space for you to play– with some fun variations including one-legged crow, side crow, and eka pada koundinyasana 1 & 2.

An invitation to dance the elements, awaken the alchemist within, and explore the art of embodied relationship.

Ancient wisdom lives in the body. It remembers that we are not separate from the natural world, we are Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether: they are living forces within us that shape how we move, relate, create, love and transform.

This course is an invitation to journey with these elemental energies as guides into deeper embodiment, authentic expression and conscious relationship.

Each week we will enter the dance through an elemental Movement Medicine practice, exploring the unique qualities and gifts of a different element.

Using the map of the human nervous system as a guide, we will explore the use of the breath, sound, gentle movement and inquiry as tools for cultivating self-awareness and self-regulation.

The session will be a balance of theory and practice and is open to all, regardless of yoga experience.

Antar (अन्तर्) is a Sanskrit word that can be translated as 'within' or 'inner'.

Summer invites us outward: towards light, movement, expansion and connection. As Autumn arrives, nature begins its return inward. Leaves fall, days soften, and we too are invited to listen to our inner rhythm.

Join Bhavna & Matthew at Yogasara on Sunday 18th October for a morning dedicated to the exploration of your inner world.

Through breathwork, vinyasa yoga flow, a deeply restorative practice and devotional mantra, we’ll explore the space between effort & ease, movement & stillness and sound & connection.

Antar is an invitation to reconnect to the teacher within. A morning to slow down, soften, to return home.

A 2-hour workshop exploring the wisdom of the menstrual cycle through the map of the inner seasons and the lenses of fertility awareness.

Together, we will explore how developing a relationship with your cycle can deepen self-understanding, self-acceptance, and self-trust. Through embodiment practices, you will be introduced to the power of your menstrual cycle and the unique gifts, wisdom, and needs of each season.

Partner yoga uses many of the same principles of a regular yoga class, but the asana (poses) are practiced in physical connection between two or more people or as a whole group. This workshop is all about finding the same somatic depths of yoga whilst being in relation to another person.

We will explore how we relate to others with openness, curiosity, touch and mutual support. We will embrace playfulness, make shapes and connect as we guide each other into poses. We will explore moving in tune with each other, often non verbally, to create connection, community and further ground ourselves in our yoga practice.

Come along if you fancy trying partner yoga in a friendly and supportive environment. Whether you turn up by yourself, with a partner, or a few friends, give it a go and just have some fun moving as a collective.

This two-hour workshop offers an introduction to Neurogenic Yoga, a sister practice to TRE (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises).

You can expect background/theory, a preparatory yoga sequence that creates space to explore natural pulsation and impulse, and an opportunity to experience tremoring in a safe, supported container.

Some experience of yoga would be helpful.

This workshop is for anyone with previous experience of neurogenic tremoring, whether through Neurogenic Yoga, TRE, or a personal tremoring practice.

We'll spend less time on theory and more time in embodied exploration, with a longer preparatory yoga sequence and an extended opportunity to explore tremoring within a safe and spacious container.

As always, tremoring is entirely self-paced and there is no expectation that anything specific needs to happen.

Join us to mark the turning of the seasons towards darkness. Samhain is a time of harvest and reflection, of taking stock of the fruits and challenges of lighter seasons, and preparing to cross the threshold into winter.

Together, we will honour the rhythms of nature through ritual and explore practices that invite us to move inwards, nurture what we want to carry forward, and release what we no longer need.

Come and gather together at the threshold with:

• Grounding and reflective movement to settle the body-mind
• Breath practices to cultivate stillness and inward attention
• A yoga nidra for reflection, rest and release
• A candle-lit poetry ritual to honour the harvest and what we carry forward
• Shared seasonal snacks and warm drinks to close and gather together

This workshop focuses on headstand (Salamba Sirsasana): this pose brings us into close encounters with upside-down, which is both exhilarating and sometimes terrifying.

Exploring consciousness through the lens of non-dual yoga, transpersonal psychology, and neuroscience.

This time of year offers an opportunity to step beyond familiar ways of seeing and open to the mystery at the heart of being.

Blending movement, meditation, and discussion, this workshop invites you to explore the nature of consciousness and reconnect with the deeper awareness that links us to one another, to the world around us, and to the vast web of life of which we are a part.

This workshop focuses on Dragonfly/Grasshopper Pose (Maksikanagasana) and Flying Pigeon Pose (Eka Pada Galavasana), both of which require a lot of hip action plus strength for arm balances and the spiciness of a twist for Dragonfly added in for good measure.

This fifth workshop focuses on Firefly Pose (Tittibhasana), Elephant's Trunk Pose (Eka Hasta Bhujasana) and eight-angle pose (Astavakrasana) – all of which require an abundance of hip flexion plus and understanding of how to stack your weight - once that clicks balance is much less illusive!

Plus time to explore entries and exits as part of a vinyasa flow.

This workshop focuses on the dynamics of backward bends; opening the front of the body and strengthening the back.

We'll build the strength and flexibility to work safely in a step by step, kramic way, towards these poses with space to be gentle and to explore routes to dropping back from standing into wheel and getting back up.
