What is Kundalini Yoga?

Kundalini Yoga, also known as the yoga of awareness, is a practice that dates back thousands of years and shares many practices with Kriya Yoga. Unlike flow yoga, Kundalini Yoga is more like a mindful workout, combining yoga postures with powerful breath work. At the end of each posture or exercise, you will be encouraged to stop, enjoy, and notice the effects. These practices aim to stimulate the body to release endorphins , promoting a sense of well-being and overall positivity.

The ultimate aim is to realise your true nature, which lies underneath the layers of personality and identity that we often mistakenly identify with. Through the practice, you can come to understand that your life is a mirror of your mind and your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs are reflected in your external reality. At its core, Kundalini yoga teaches that our true nature is awareness.

Autumn 🍁my favourite season of all 🍂 Time to reset and embrace the balance of the autumn equinox. 🌻✨ How will you harness this energy for positive change? 🍁https://wix.to/glcnl73 #AutumnEquinox #BalanceAndHarmony #PositiveChange

This will be a block of 6 classes focusing on clearing stagnation and inviting in wellbeing 🧘‍♀️✨ Held in Heacham and suitable for all levels

This morning will be held in Heacham. We will begin with an energising Kundalini yoga set focussing on the spine. This set is practiced mainly seated on the mat, it is a perfect introduction for beginners but also a great, energising practice for more experienced yogi’s!
In Kundalini Yoga it is often said that age is measured by the flexibility of the spine: to stay young, stay flexible. This series works systematically from the base of the spine to the top. All the vertebrae receive stimulation and all the chakras receive a burst of energy. It is a good series to do before meditation, yoga Nidra and sound therapy.

Cost - £15 includes Tea/coffee

Happy Spring Equinox! Our spirits are waking up with new ideas & new dreams for life. The inspiring Spring Equinox energy is encouraging you to be reborn.
Embrace this new beginning. The spring energy will fuel your growth as the days get longer & the sun grows warmer 🌼🌸🌞
Join me on Friday morning for a practice to welcome in the spring 🌟

A friend said to me recently “Kundalini yoga is bonkers”! I laughed and agreed with her as I understand there are some elements that might look bonkers 😂. KY might seem bonkers if you have only practiced flow yoga before, it’s quite different but with similarities. If you join a class anticipating a Hatha/vinyassa style class you will be suprised. Kundalini yoga is an energising practice that uses elements of many ancient practices including Kriya yoga, Hatha Yoga and Qi gong. The practice works to eliminate blocks to the qi/prana, allowing this life force energy to flow increasing awareness, consciousness and a feeling of wellbeing. Many people describe the experience as exhilarating, euphoric, and powerful. But the best way to find out is to try for yourself!

Online class Fridays at 9.15 am 🌟

First of many “kitchen kundalini” classes today - it was so lovely 🥰

Hormone yoga is a fusion of Kundalini and Hatha Yoga mixed together with yoga Nidra - guided meditation. In hormone yoga we are harnessing the power the mind has to heal the body.
The practice focuses on the glandular systems, using movement and posture coupled with powerful breathing and focused attention to stimulate the major hormone releasing glands in the body.

Who is hormone yoga for?

Hormone yoga is suitable for almost everyone. We are all affected by the balance of our hormones. It is particularly effective for women suffering with hormone imbalance, this could be PMS, Peri menopause or Menopause.

Join Marisa and I this Friday 20th January 10 - 12 am for a cuppa and a slice of homemade cake 😋

Spaces on Wednesday evening.
Kundalini Yoga is different to other yogas but has lots of similarities. Kundalini is a form of yoga that uses posture just like Hatha but often we hold the posture for longer, similar to Yin yoga. We use dynamic movement coordinated with breath work or mantra to distract the mind.
KY is amazing if you struggle to sit still. It keeps all of your senses busy whilst you are guided into a calmer, stiller place.
In a class the teacher guides you thru the practice sowing seeds in the subconscious , like a guided meditation.
Come along and try a class at Ringstead village hall on Wednesday at 6.30pm.

We're moving to Snettisham from next Tuesday 17th. Space now available for this class 😊

How is everyone getting on with their 40-day practice?
This week we all started a 40-day practice which will end on the 19th & 20th February.
Committing to practice the same Kriya every day for 40 days creates the opportunity to implement change in your habits. It takes time to experience change, 40 days is the amount of time to create a new habit and internalise the effects of the Kriya in the subconscious and dissolve old patterns. There is an aspect of neuroplasticity in the yoga we practice as the neurons that fire together - wire together.
Don’t worry if you miss a day, just try hard not to miss 2 days! People who give up after a single mistake are building the habit of defeat. People who make sure that one missed day doesn’t become two are building the habit of getting up after a fall. It’s okay if you miss a day but get back up and keep going!
Life is busy, you don’t have to complete the full Kriya every day, just make sure you do something – even if you only have time for 5 minutes.
I’m looking forward to hearing how you’re all getting on 😄🦋🧘‍♀️

I'm so excited to be teaming up with Marisa from Reiki Norfolk & holding the Winter solstice morning practice here! This beautiful space is hidden away in Dersingham. We will start with a Kundalini Kriya to energise and promote relaxation followed by a Reiki infused sound bath and a delicious vegetarian Lunch - I can't wait 🥰

About

Hi, I'm Gail, a 53-year-old yoga teacher based in the beautiful coastal town of Heacham, Norfolk.

For years, I struggled with fatigue and chronic back pain. It felt like my body was holding me back from truly living life to the fullest. Then, I discovered the power of yoga.

Through a blend of Kundalini yoga, Yin yoga, and somatic exercise, I found a path to healing and self-discovery. Not only did my pain heal, but I also gained a renewed sense of strength, flexibility, and vitality.

Now, I'm passionate about sharing this transformative practice with others. I believe that everyone can benefit from the deep healing, strength, and inner peace that yoga offers.

Whether you're seeking to manage stress, improve your physical wellbeing, or simply connect with your inner self, I invite you to join me on the mat. Let's explore the flow together!

Warm up, breathing practices main set, and relaxation. Every session is different and delivered very professionally in a calm supportive gentle coaxing manner.
