Saturday 28th September
Let's align our intention with the rhythms of nature and embody our commitment to reconnecting our community with the earth.
Join us at Samya Studios, in collaboration with Communi.Table, for a soulful evening that marries the magic of yoga with the joy of seasonal dining, set against the lush backdrop of late spring/early summer. As we embrace the shift from the vibrant spring to the lush vitality of summer, this special evening offers an opportunity to celebrate the season through yoga and a curated seasonal feast.
The evening begins in our light-filled studio with an extended yoga practice led by Laura and designed to harness the energy of summer: optimism, abundance, joy and light. Accompanied by breathwork, journaling, and time for reflection, this movement practice is an invitation to find clarity and balance, celebrating the longest days of the year.
Following the practice, you're invited to join a communal long table meal, prepared by India of Communi.Table. The three-course menu showcases the peak of seasonal produce, embodying the themes of fertility and prosperity.

"Healing ourselves is not the end of the line, but brings us into relationship with others, and allows us to do the work that brings healing to the wider world." ~ Prentis Hemphill
We're excited to bring back our community sessions, which are all about minimising stress, finding time to rest, and prioritising one's mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Each session will focus on a specific theme that supports current community needs.
To more easily co-create a space of nurturing, compassion, and dignity, we offer this session specifically to folks who identify as Black women, women of colour, and/or BIPOC and non-binary.
This session will be led by Tamzin Jade. As a space holder, Tamzin creates relaxed pathways to expand and deepen our relationship to the individual and collective self. Through guided and intuitive movement, they integrate the principles of yoga, ancestors and indigenous wisdoms. Their teaching practice creates space for our multilayered bodies to receive nourishing rest. They believe gratitude, joy and rest are integral to supporting and maintaining our liberation practices.
Friday 4th October
An introspective journey of yin, down-regulation breathwork, meditation, and sound. It's the new Friday night out.
Designed to calm the nervous system a promote deep rest, this session pairs longer-held postures with breathwork and meditation to shift you out of the work week and into your body. We'll then integrate with an immersive soundbath to restore harmony within the body, mind and spirit.
The resonant sounds of alchemy singing bowls, Himalayan bowls, gongs and other healing instruments create an atmosphere for deep relaxation, dream states and inner shifts to help you align with what's next. Join Laura as she guides this deeply restorative session with live music from George of The Sound Shift.
