I’ve got some new daytime classes starting this week.
Evening classes remain the same but in addition I am teaching a dynamic hatha class on Tuesday mornings and a gentle class on Thursday mornings starting on 10th and 12th June.
Hope to see you there!
With Scott YoungThese ceremonies are an opportunity to step back for a few hours and drop into a space of deep, communal relaxation.
I love to offer a space of simplicity, for people to drop into the heart and soul, working with the Cacao medicine to help with this journey.
Cacao, in it’s purest form has been used as a medicine to open the heart consciousness and open us up to inspiration and higher creativity for many centuries in South America, and i’ve been inspired to open up to this over the past few years, so we can work with it, in a modern context.
We will share in a Cacao drink, which is a beautiful blend of high grade Cacao Beans and organic herbs and spices.
We begin with a simple guided meditation and exercises to harmonise as a collective.
We then have a few hours to just lie back and absorb really refined sonics, both from a live acoustic sound healing journey and recorded, sacred ambient soundscapes and sacred chants, out of a really fine quality Hi-Fi soundsystem…. We will end the evening sharing in sacred songs and chants.
There is a slight change to the scheduled Yin Yoga class on Tuesday 29th April.
The class will be at 6:45 pm ( finishing at 8 pm) just for one week while we sort out the schedule.
This class will be in the first floor room at 72 Berkeley Street ( buzz 1st floor/front)
6:30 pm – 8:30 pm at In The Moment
Yin Yoga – Mindful asana practice. Working with the deeper connective tissues and energy channels.
Mantra – Using sound, chant and specific words and phrases to explore the power of vibration and intention
Meditation – Seated mindfulness practices, breathing, visualisation,
Yoga Nidra – A deep guided relaxation technique, often translated as “Yogic Sleep”. Longer than the usual relaxation in class, usually 20 -30 minutes. We also work with “Sankalpa” – a resolve or affirmation, and a visualisation. Deeply healing.

I am delighted to announce that In The Moment has taken on a second studio space at 72 Berkeley Street. So, in addition to our lovely original studio on the second floor, we now also have the space directly underneath us on the first floor. And this means that there is lots more room for our wonderful classes and workshops.
This new room is already beginning to be well used ( hence my decision to make it formal) but we do have some space available for teachers who would like to come and work as part of the In The Moment Community.
Our mantra was
OM Gam Ganapataye Namah
OM and salutations to Ganapati (Lord Ganesha, remover of obstacles)
Our reading was from Courtney A Walsh
” Dear Human: You’ve got it all wrong. You didn’t come here to master unconditional love. That is where you came from and where you’ll return. You came here to learn personal love. Universal love. Messy love. Sweaty love. Crazy love. Broken love. Whole love. Infused with divinity. Lived through the grace of stumbling. Demonstrated through the beauty of… messing up. Often. You didn’t come here to be perfect. You already are. You came here to be gorgeously human. Flawed and fabulous. And the to rise again into remembering. But unconditional love? Stop telling that story. Love, in truth, doesn’t need ANY other adjectives. It doesn’t require modifiers. It doesn’t require the condition of perfection. It only asks that you show up. And do your best. That you stay present and feel fully. That you shine and fly and laugh and cry and hurt and heal and fall and get back up and play and work and live and die as YOU. It’s enough. It’s Plenty.
On Saturday 1st of February, 14 women joined me in the space at In the Moment for “My Perfect Year – 2014” – a dreaming and planning workshop timed to coincide with the season of Imbolc. We had a beautiful day of dreaming things into being. We explored our Sacred Words, we danced, we created dream boards, we meditated and journeyed and we heard some inspiration words and poetry. Look out for more dreaming and planning workshops at Beltane, Lughnasadh and Samhain.
“Action that is inspired from aligned thought is joyful action. Action that is offered from a place of contridicted thought is hard work that is not satisfying and does not yield good results. When you really feel like jumping into action, that is a clear sign that your vibration is pure and you are not offering contridicting thoughts to your own desire. When you are having a hard time making yourself do something, or when the action you offer does not produce the results you are seeking, it is always because you are offering thoughts in opposition to your desire.”
