An evening of Yin Yoga and Meditation practice with Emma Peel at The Light Centre, Belgravia

In cultivating a capacity for stillness and placing importance on being connected to the body we can perceive the infinite sensations that can happen within it. We can be more open to experiencing ourselves as flow.

Rooted in the potency of simplicity, our practice allows a subtle movement in perception, where we have the potential to open a door to another kind of reality, a spaciousness we can sense when the body, mind and breath are at ease when we are relaxed. When we can open to the energetic life of the body that moves through us and around us, there is much to learn about ourselves.

Experience a Yin Yoga practice married with Pranayama and Meditation by the glow of candle light in this two hour evening event. Soften and unhook from the week, allowing the time and space to explore the deeper throws of your body.

A powerful practise that will nurture a deeper exploration and observation of the body, heart and mind.

In this Yin Yoga and Sound event we will expand our experience and connect to our most natural state of brilliance whilst surrounded by the amazing art within the gallery space. 

This Yin Yoga Asana practice will be married with the healing sounds from Yogis Sound Martina Saorin’s crystal bowls and gongs. We will move with gentleness through the body, stretching the muscles and deep tissues of the body and also our own capacity to be more sensitive to the flux of life that exists at the core of the body. 

When the body, the energy of the body and the mind move together as one, we can experience a moment of clarity, a feeling of inner harmony that does not rest on having perfect conditions but is the natural state of all of us.

Please bring your own mat, perhaps a blanket and some socks.

Booking are through The Dulwich Picture Gallery.

In this Yin Yoga and Sound event at The Dulwich Picture Gallery we will expand our own experience of ourselves connecting to our most natural state of brilliance. By combing through the layers of the body, the layers of breathing and layers of mind, we are able to discover the natural state of ease and peace that is always underneath and in the background.

In this simple Asana practice married with the gentle sounds of Harpist Siobhan Swider, we will move through the body, stretching not only the muscles and deep tissues of the body but also our own capacity to experience movements of mind and the natural state of peace when the body, breath and mind can move together in harmony at an even pace.

We begin in the body as this is where we feel our practice, only to delve deeper and deeper, finally coming to rest in the core of the body whilst bathed by Siobhan Swider’s healing sound bath.

We each flow to an individual shape and the contours of this unique shape to which we all flow, is permeated by the elements of our own lives. Your body is a dynamic shape, moulding itself around the pressures which life puts upon it and the tensions of trying to shape our lives according to demands rather than our own needs. Yet, when the resilient life within is allowed the conditions to flow at peace, it flows smoothly around and the past all we meet, un-distorting.

THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT HOWEVER, I WILL BE BACK WITH MORE FROM JUNE ONWARDS.

In this series of six simple Yin Yoga Asana practices with Emma Peel, we will move through the body in a sequential way, engaging the spine completely, stretching not only the tissues of the body and the ligaments of the spine but extending our own capacity to pay attention.  

Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga as exercise, incorporating principles of traditional Chinese medicine, with Asanas (postures) that are held for longer periods. This course is suitable for all levels, Emma will provide guidance or adjustments to suit all abilities in each of the sessions.   

Asana practices are married with a meditative awareness to facilitate the Yin qualities of yielding and tension release, allowing the body to recover and move through the world more freely. The more we learn how to soften, the more the whole body can participate in this action of gentle motions and the stillness.  

Yoga mats and blocks will be provided but participants are very welcome to bring their own equipment if they wish.

Chinese Medicine describes The Human Being as existing on three levels, that of Body, Mind, Spirit. These three levels function happily together when we are in balance, healthy and at ease. Our bodies will move naturally and without difficulty, our minds too will demonstrate flexibility and steadiness and in our emotional life, we will respond appropriately to all the various demands made upon it. 

All three levels are inextricably linked and the quality of harmony and moments of peace we have all touched on at various times in our lives, is described as these three layers moving in the same direction, at an even pace and in constant good communication with each other.

So what happens when we are overloaded and overburdened beyond our own capacity to maintain balance? And on what level of human experience do these stresses occur? In our practice, we are learning to work on all levels at once as, stress on one level of life, will effect another level because there is only the oneness of body, mind, spirit (Heart). 

The human being has a very complex body and inner life, capable of creating the most creative and complex works of art, pieces of music and so on, yet there is a price we pay for our own complexity.

Lao Tzu said "I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.”

The Tao encourages us to be in touch with our own selves, particularly our deepest selves, for when we know who we really are, that is when we discover real peace.

When we are in resonance, like the clear tone of a bell, we re-member something in the deepest and most basic way. We can't know practice from outside of these three layers of reality. Come and learn to navigate your own individual body, the breath with all its individual grooves, your inner and outer worlds with all its people, things and happenings as it is the mind that navigates the meeting point.

Life seems to reveal itself through two opposing categories, we can’t experience waking without knowing sleeping. Although we cannot separate these ‘polarities’, we only want to land ever on one side. The labels we often give to our own qualities and to our practice much like Yin Yoga or Vinyasa, are techniques to become absorbed in the process. And when practiced together, a third more subtle quality is revealed.

Join Helen Russell-Clark and Emma Peel in this two hour workshop for a journey through the receptivity of Yin and the playfulness of Yang where the coming together, the blending reveals a third quality that is not of form and can not be put into words.

This is a perfect workshop for both yin practitioners who are looking to explore a more dynamic practice and yang practitioners who want to shift their perspective on how to approach vinyasa.

As a Yoga teacher, you know the resistance of being visible and the cost of being invisible. How do you recognise and inhabit the place of true meaning not only in the practise of Yoga, but in yourself, in your own practise and do you want to learn the skills to inspire this freedom in your students lives and bodies?

The Five Movements Yin Yoga Teacher training much like individual bodies, is a framework for a life as a liberated teacher filled with purpose. A mirror to the Tao, this training will help you illuminate your path, offering a system that can allow you a way to enter your practise life with a route of unlimited potentials and choices.

On this training, you will learn how to navigate different bodies, different lives with integrity in the various seasons of ones life by learning how to address individuality and modern life in an integrated practise.

The Tao encourages us to be in touch with our own selves, particularly our deepest selves, because when you know who you really are, that is when you discover peace.  Do you want to feel this for yourself and then learn how to share that method?

Based on the natural movements we see all around us in the patterns of the seasons, these patterns and aspects of nature can remind us of qualities we connect to, the resilient trees, the joyful spring flowers and the steady mountains like a bridge between heaven and earth.

Taoism is the notion that the unnameable way of things is such because it includes all things and trying to define this would only limit its meaning but is such because it include everything. Nothing is left out of this. The true meaning of Tao can not be described only felt. Would you like to learn the art of teaching experience that is rooted in theory with an ability to bring this theory to life in any body, accessible to everybody in modern life?

In this webinar I will share with you the fundamentals of Yin Yang theory, how the one becomes two, two becomes three and three becomes five from which the ten thousand things flourish. The Five Movements unpacks the basic theory of the phases  and will focus on introducing the basic theory and one phase as a way of introducing you to the potential limitless choices you have as an incredible teacher to impart this understanding on your students in a way you can keep practise alive not only in their lives, but in yours too. Learn about the mind body heart connection through feeling it for yourself with the skills and confidence to take this out into the world and share it.

Join me on this free two hour webinar Sunday April 25th 9am - 11.30am. You will need nothing other than your attention, curiosity and a willingness to challenge you current perceptions. 

“When sound, breath, and awareness come together, it becomes light…". Vasant Lad

An evening where we move beyond thoughts, ideas, time and space where limitations have the space to evaporate.

A Yin Yoga and Meditation practice by the glow of candlelight accompanied by the vibrations of Crystal bowls, Gong and other sounds with Emma Peel and Christine Charlotte.

This two hour event will allow the opportunity to grow our interior spaces with the time to receive a more nurturing and potent pace. Opening and maintaining receptivity in the body, heart and mind through Meditation and passive Asana so we may receive the resonance of sound as we learn to let go of our heads and listen with our bodies moving into a place of deeper knowing.

Practise will begin with breath work leading us to the Yin Yoga asana as the sounds become progressively softer, so will we. Each seat will be approachable allowing for the low lighting and encouraging a more inward experience and listening presence.

A powerful practise that will nurture a deeper exploration and observation of the body, heart and mind.

I am privileged to collaborate with Sweaty Betty, East Dulwich in sharing some insights into the art and science of Mindfulness and Meditation. This informal hour is intended to provide a space in which we can caress the edges of any bounded concepts of what Meditation is and what it is not.

We will explore tools that enable us to hold a quality of courage, so we can find ways to connect rather than escape our lives. Tools that can build a quality of generosity so we can develop greater intimacy and understanding of ourselves, our worlds, the world and each other.

This event is open to everyone, from beginners wishing to discover the benefits of Meditation and for those who know and love the practise.

The current of our breath is not separate from the current of the tides. The air we inhale, that animates life, is the same air that every other living creature draws in. We are energised by the same sunlight as are all flora and respond to the pull of the moon as do the tides. 

Throughout these five workshops we will explore the essential qualities and essences found within the rhythmic patterns expressed within the seasons.

The intention is not only as a method to explore the spontaneous cooperation and continual process of natural change but as a way to understand ourselves, experience how we are not separate from the natural world and to explore our own potential to live harmoniously within this dynamic.

When we can recognised moments of being drawn to nature, resonating with a Spring day or a trickling stream we can be more sensitive to our own potential to flourish. As we learn to accurately perceive those outer movements we can become more perceptive to the inner movements within the dynamics of body and mind.

Through practise we recognise change as process. We learn how to examine and examining this through felt sense, we have the potential to understand these patterns as observed and studied through feeling. We all contain Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal and the more we understand ourselves and the nature of life, the more we can recognise the oneness and interconnected nature of all things and that we are nature itself.  

Winter: The last in this series of workshops will deepen our understanding of the season of Winter and after separating these five movements, how we individually bring these teaching back into the whole and ultimately back into a place of meaning.

Aimed at deepening our understanding of this phase in the season cycle, we will explore the energetic representation of Winter's element Water, the organs Kidney and Urinary Bladder and how Winter may manifests in our inner and outer worlds.

Ancient Chinese philosophy believed nature was not something we visited at the weekends and by observing nature we could cultivate an understanding of life, each other and remind ourselves where and how we are unique while simultaneously aware of that which keeps us united.
