The Lighthouse & Gardens
Join Lexi for an evening of restorative elemental flow and sound bath. In Chinese elemental theory and the traditional Chinese almanac, the seasons move through the Five Elements. In September moving in Autumn we enter the energy of Metal. We turn our attention to the lungs, breath, clarity, and letting go. We’ll move through a gentle elemental flow to nourish the respiratory system and create space to release, before settling into a deeply restorative sound bath. A nourishing evening to ground, release, and step into Autumn with ease.
Doors open at 7pm, we start at 7:15pm.
Bring a yoga mat and a blanket for the practice. Please give yourself time to settle in.

WORKSHOP
ROOTS OF YOGA
Oct 1st
Thursday
7:15-8:45pm
with Raj Bual
£18
Venue
The Lighthouse & Gardens
ROOTS OF YOGA: Āsana • Prāṇāyāma • Mantra • Dhyāna A 90-minute embodied exploration of yoga beyond the physical practice.
What changes when yoga is approached as more than exercise or wellness? Beginning with an embodied Hatha practice, we’ll explore how āsana can become more than a physical shape but instead a place of awareness, enquiry and presence.
From there, we’ll journey through prāṇāyāma, using the breath as a means of exploring our relationship with prāṇa; mantra, experiencing sacred sound through meaning, repetition, vibration and attentive listening; and dhyāna, allowing the practice to move gradually towards stillness and meditation. Rather than experiencing these as separate techniques, Roots of Yoga brings body, breath, sound and stillness back into relationship offering an opportunity to experience some of the wider dimensions of yoga within one integrated practice.
Doors open at 7pm, we start at 7:15pm.
Bring a yoga mat and a blanket for the practice. Please give yourself time to settle in.

4 WEEK COURSE 1
JOURNEY THROUGH THE CHAKRAS
Oct 22nd - Nov 12th
4 consecutive Thursdays
7-8pm
with Sabina Bhandari
Course £50
Drop ins £15
Venue
The Lighthouse & Gardens
This 4-week course explores the chakras (pronounced chuk-rah, not shak-ra) - psycho-energetic centres along the central column, or spine. According to tantric teaching, they are not pre-existing structures but are installed via mantra, breath, and visualisation, with asana preparing the body and nervous system to sustain this work.
Over four weeks we'll move through the chakras, working with practices that address the three Granthis - Brahma, Vishnu, and Rudra - the psychic knots said to bind us to fixed thought patterns, loops, and the illusion of separation. Rooted in non-dual tantric philosophy, expect a practice that blends asana with pranayama, mantra, and reflection - offering a way to explore the subtle body both on and off the mat.
Students who are pregnant are also welcome, we simply ask that you email us beforehand so we can offer appropriate modifications.
Doors open at 6:45pm, we start at 7:15pm. Please give yourself time to settle in.

Venue
The Lighthouse & Gardens
Join Lexi for an evening of restorative elemental yoga and sound bath. In November, we enter the energy of Water in Chinese elemental theory and the traditional Chinese almanac - a flowing element that connects our physical experience with our inner emotional world. Through gentle, flowing yoga, we’ll explore the art of “going with the flow” - learning to navigate change with softness rather than resistance, and creating space to connect with our emotions and deeper selves. We’ll close with a deeply restorative sound bath, allowing the body and mind to soften and settle. A nourishing evening to slow down, flow with change and reconnect within.
Doors open at 7pm, we start at 7:15pm.
Bring a yoga mat and a blanket for the practice. Please give yourself time to settle in.

Body as Śakti.
Awakening through movement, sensation and awareness. A four-week course using yoga āsana, embodied movement, pranayama and meditation to explore the philosophy and practices of the non-dual Tantric tradition. This course invites students to recognise the body as an expression of Śakti, the divine creative power, and not as something to be transcended.
Together we will explore ways of honouring our embodiment as part of our path to awakening. Students who are pregnant are also welcome, we simply ask that you email us beforehand so we can offer appropriate modifications.
