Transformational Yoga, Relaxation & Meditation
Thursdays 18:00-19:30
Saturdays 09:00-10:30
A practice of movement, breath, awareness and inner transformation.
Transformational Yoga is more than a physical practice. It is an invitation to come home to yourself — to become more present in your body, more connected to your breath, and more aware of the subtle layers of your being.
Rooted in the classical South Indian Transformational Integral Yoga lineage of Swami Vidyanand, Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, the practice brings together traditional yogic teachings with an embodied, intuitive approach to modern life.
It embraces yoga as a path of transformation — working not only with the physical body, but also with the emotional, mental, energetic and spiritual aspects of who we are.
In our classes, you may experience asana, pranayama, meditation, mantra, chakra awareness, subtle energy, relaxation and self-enquiry, woven together with presence and intention.
Rather than simply moving through a sequence of postures, you are encouraged to listen inwardly, feel, breathe and become more deeply aware of yourself.
The intention is not perfection in the pose, but transformation through the practice.
Each class offers space to slow down, reconnect with yourself and explore what is beneath the surface — cultivating greater presence, balance, intuition and inner connection.
Transformational Yoga is for anyone who feels called to experience yoga as a way of living, listening and remembering, both on and beyond the mat.
“All life is yoga.” — Sri Aurobindo
