So there is no need for mats and no special clothing required. All across the globe, many are seeking new sources of energy. Meanwhile, the most transformative energy of all is hiding in plain sight, within us. It's natural, sustainable, and infinitely renewable. It's called inner kundalini energy. And everyone already has it — everyone!. It is often likened to an inner feminine or motherly energy which automatically knows about us and what is needed to help us restore balance and harmony within our subtle being. It works spontaneously, effortlessly, organically and cannot be paid for. Sahaja Yoga Meditation is a simple time-honoured technique that lets you tap into that energy and harness its power to become better balanced and better connected to yourself — emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. If you're having trouble juggling the challenges in your life, Sahaja Yoga Meditation might well help you manage stress, master your emotions and find solutions to your problems. You may enjoy better health, better focus, and a deeper understanding of the universe and your place in it. Meditation is not just for mystics and monks. Sahaja Yoga meditation is for everyone. Anyone can do it. It's that easy. But with the Sahaja Yoga experience, you'll quickly realise, it isn't your typical Meditations 'R Us type class.

Our volunteer experts are always available to help. Ready to plug into your inner energy? A Sahaja Yoga Meditation class is a great way to start. A few minutes of your life may be all it takes to connect to your inner energy and light the path to lifelong transformation.

With Sahaja Yoga Meditation we generally sit on chairs to achieve Yoga, effortlessly & spontaneously. As such no Asanas (exercises) are required, no mat or special clothing ## What is Meditation? Meditation is a state of mental silence or rest, where our attention is aware, but not engrossed in thinking. It is known as ‘thoughtless awareness’. It is achieved when the indwelling Kundalini energy awakens and carries the individual attention beyond the level of the 6th chakra, into the seventh chakra, known as Sahasrara. ## Yoga! It is here we achieve Yoga! As the mind finds rest and silence, we become able to feel our inner Self (Spirit). This can be tangibly felt, it actually manifests, as a cool wind, breath or breeze, often experienced on the palms of the hands or at the top (crown) of the head. It is a spontaneous, effortless natural happening. Each week many people experience this actualisation at one of the many free meditation classes on offer ## How to get into balance? The secret of the Sahaja Yoga method resides within us, at the base of the spinal chord, in a triangular bone called the “sacrum bone”. Since our birth in our sacrum bone dwells an inner energy called in Sanskrit Kundalini; it is characterised as a feminine energy and once activated, this energy rises along our spine until it reaches the top of the head and finally connects with the universal energy. This union is called “yoga” in Sanskrit. ## Kundalini As our indwelling Kundalini rises through the central channel, this benevolent feminine energy activates the chakras, removing all the impurities from them and nourishing the entire inner system. It is through this happening that we are elevated into ‘thoughtless awareness’, the mental silence of true meditation www.sahajayogalondon.co.uk Free Meditation & Yoga Classes in London Want to experience it now – Experience Self Realisation now – Guided Meditation ([https://www.sahajayogalondon.co.uk/articles/experience-your-self-realisation-online-now/](https://www.sahajayogalondon.co.uk/articles/experience-your-self-realisation-online-now/ "https://www.sahajayogalondon.co.uk/articles/experience-your-self-realisation-online-now/")) ###

To book: Www.Barefootyogaandtherapy.com Mat Pilates relies on small, controlled movements which focus on the strengthening of your core, which is why the system is often considered to be good for those suffering with neck and back pain. Mat Pilates helps to lengthen, strengthen and balance your body while also increasing concentration and flexibility.

This class offers an opportunity to learn simple and profound techniques to calm the body's stress response and reset the nervous system so that it is more relaxed, balanced and stable. We will work with the tools on our own and if desired, also offer support and consensual, healing touch in pairs. There will also be an opportunity to discover how the subconscious mind impacts the nervous system, our thinking and our behaviour and how we can work with the subconscious mind to live more freely. TRE® is one of the tools we'll explore. It uses simple and safe exercises that enable the body to access and release deep tension, stress and trauma patterns from the body. The exercises safely activate the natural and innate reflex of vibrating/tremoring/shaking in the muscles to release tension and calm the nervous system. When this movement happens in a safe and controlled environment, the body can find its way back into balance. This class is for you if: * you want to feel more connected to your body and less in your head * you are interested in learning a powerful technique that you can use for the rest of your life to manage stress and tension as nature intended * you want to let go of narratives, stories, limiting beliefs and find more freedom to be yourself For more information and to book, please click [here](https://www.outsavvy.com/event/17739/tre-tension-trauma-releasing-exercises-with-andy)

Let’s be real... Sunday wine nights are great, but we wanted to switch things up a bit. We've hired out a private aerial yoga studio for an hour of hanging upside down and then heading straight out for drinks to debrief. If you are currently thinking, *"I have zero core strength and can barely touch my toes"* —please don't worry, this is exactly for you. This session is entirely zero-pressure. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or your idea of stretching is reaching for your phone, you are so welcome. It’s honestly just about having a laugh, trying something new, and hanging out. ### 🧘‍♀️ What actually is Aerial Yoga? If you’re picturing Cirque du Soleil, don't stress. Aerial yoga just means we swap traditional yoga mats for soft, silk hammocks suspended from the ceiling. It feels a bit like a mix between playing on the swings as a kid and relaxing in a cozy cocoon. The hammock supports your body weight, which takes all the pressure off your joints. It means you can do deep stretches, fun beginner tricks, and even hang completely upside down with surprisingly little effort because the silk does the heavy lifting. We'll end the session wrapped up in the hammocks for a deeply calming *shavasana*. ### 🎀 The Setup For **£30**, we’ve got the class and the gym facilities completely sorted. * **The Class:** A 1-hour private session led by our amazing teacher, Eva. Expect super easy beginner tricks, a fun soundtrack, and a lot of giggling. * **The Facilities:** Your ticket includes full use of the gym's premium changing rooms. We get access to the hot sauna to melt out our muscles, luxury showers, and fresh towels for everyone. *(You do not need a gym membership for this, we have access).* * **The After-Party:** Once we're all showered and refreshed, we'll walk over to **Teatro** to grab drinks and catch up. *(Drinks at Teatro are just pay-as-you-go).* ### 📍 The Details * **Date:** Sunday 28th June * **Time:** Arrive at **4:45 PM** sharp so we can get into the studio for a 5:00 PM start. * **Location:** Gymbox Ealing Broadway * **Price:** £30 * **Capacity:** Our private studio only has 10 hammocks, meaning there are **just 9 spaces available**. It's super intimate, so it's just first come, first served. ### ⚠️ What to bring & prep * **The Fit:** Long leggings and a long-sleeved top are highly advised. The silks are great, but they can cause friction on bare skin, so comfort is key. * **Hydration:** Please make sure you drink plenty of water throughout the day. * **Health & Safety:** Just listen to your body and go at your own pace. If you have any medical conditions, blood pressure concerns, or injuries, just run it by your doctor and let Eva know before we start. **Drop a message to grab one of the 9 spots. Can't wait to fly (and drink wine) with you all! ✨**

**Vinyasa Flow** **This is simply the art of linking breath to movement.

Sleep, Rest & Connection: Building Our Community Together Join us for the next gathering of The Pause Collective — a supportive meetup for neurodivergent women navigating perimenopause, menopause, burnout, overwhelm, and life transitions. Since many of us haven't yet had the opportunity to meet, we'll begin by getting to know one another and sharing what brought us to this community. We'll also explore one of the most common challenges many women experience during this season of life: sleep. Whether you're navigating insomnia, waking up in the middle of the night, racing thoughts, night sweats, exhaustion, burnout, or simply not feeling rested, you're not alone. This will be a relaxed, low-pressure coffee shop meetup focused on connection and conversation. No need to prepare anything. No pressure to share. Come as you are. Together we'll: • Introduce ourselves and get to know one another • Share what brought us to The Pause Collective • Discuss sleep, rest, and energy during perimenopause and menopause • Exchange ideas, experiences, and support • Explore what topics we'd like to discuss in future gatherings • Continue building the kind of community we'd like to create together This space is neurodivergent-affirming, self-diagnosis-friendly, and supportive of different communication styles and energy levels. Quiet participation is welcome. Listening is participating. Whether you're looking for support, learning, friendship, or simply a place where you don't have to explain yourself, you are welcome here. I look forward to meeting you. — Dawn
