Yoga of Being
This class is an opportunity to deeply rest in You and allow everything that is presenting itself in your experience. This is integral yoga – to bathe in the wholeness of Being, allowing the harmony of body, mind and energy. We will work with asana (postures), pranayama (breathwork) and yoga nidra (deep relaxation) or meditation,
There is an emphasis on Awareness and discovering the waves of experience (feelings, sensations, emotions etc.) within the practice. Awareness is a great power that we take for granted. Wherever awareness goes, energy flows. We have the capacity to enliven and awaken the body through directing our attention to it, thus the body becomes a finely tuned instrument for the knowing of Truth. With awareness, sincerity of heart, willingness & acceptance of what is, we can come to know true peace, stillness & love - the Silence of Being, Pure Consciousness itself. The quote below expresses the invitation that is offered to you.
"The yogi tries to drive his mind to the goal, as a cowherd drives a bull with a stick, but on this path the seeker coaxes the bull by holding out a handful of grass." Ramana Maharshi

"Abhijeeta's yoga class and her presence supports my own presence. She encourages awareness in mind and body and importantly in spirit. Her yoga is gentle and yet deep. I always leave with a feeling of wholeness / of being alive, Thank you. I never thought after 30 years
I'd literally feel at home and be able to do yoga." Femi
Deep Rest: Yoga Nidra & Meditation
We will deeply relax and prepare the body-mind through the practice of Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep /deep conscious relaxation), then continue with a guided sitting meditation. This class offers you deep rest, stillness and relaxation, removing tension and bringing deep calm to the body-mind... (1/2 hour of Yoga Nidra is equivalent to 2 hours sleep!). Through meditation, you may discover your True nature as Consciousness.

Sunday Sangha
We are here to serve each other, to remind each other of Truth, to know ourselves as Love, to learn and grow as human beings, to be divinely human.
Sangha means ‘a community of Truth’. When we gather in this way – in Truth, in openness and honesty, the vibration of Love is amplified. 'Sunday Sangha' is partially silent space (other than when sharing of course) which offers the space for Beings to meet themselves and others at a deeper level. It is an opportunity to take time out from your worries, concerns and distractions. A space to meet yourself and others in the tenderness of the Heart. A space to be yourself. Simply.
The intention of the Sangha is to provide support, help us make change and ignite our insight. It is a space where we move together in our dedication to Truth, to Love, whatever we are doing; whether we are walking, sitting, eating, dancing or simply being. By donation. One Sunday a month, dates on schedule.
WHAT WILL WE DO?
:: We will sit together in meditation
:: We will spend time in silence and in communion
:: We will share from the heart, we will listen
:: We will be open and spontaneous. Maybe we will dance, sing, play music, go for a walk… whatever is called for in the moment and guided by our listening
PLEASE COME IF:
:: You feel a resonance with gathering together in Truth
:: You can take full responsibility for yourself and your practice
:: You feel at ease with a structured practice environment as well as with open, unstructured times of relaxation and silence
:: You feel a longing for peace, for love, for truth, for freedom
:: You are willing, open-hearted and sincere in this longing

Movement Meditation
'An Intimate Dance with Life'
What would happen if you offered your body to Life without trying to control it? If you allowed movement to happen through you?
You are invited into the open space of Love in which we allow movement to arise spontaneously. Guided by music and the intuitive heart we dive into the silence of Being, our innermost, open and surrender to Life and allow feeling and impulses to express themselves freely through the the body.
Movement meditation allows a deep intimacy with our Self and the breath of Life that is continually moving us. Through our surrender, the allowance of free movement, breath and sound, layer by layer we unravel the knots held within the body-mind. We discover the open, innocent, free expression of a child, 'being lived, being moved', moment to moment. See schedule for class times and cost.

“Abhijeeta is the best Yoga teacher I have had. What she does is subtle but effective.
She really made me feel at home as a beginner” Paul
Meeting in the Heart
An invitation to move beyond the limitation of belief, opinion and perception and to rest your attention on the space of Awareness, of pure Consciousness, the Love that you are. You are invited to shift your perception from the mind to the heart, to ‘feel’ the Truth of who you are, which is ever-present, and begin to view life from the 'eyes of the heart'.
A spontaneous flow of meditation, self-enquiry, questions, insight and sharing/listening – an opportunity to feel and fully allow what is arising in honesty and to enquire into to the Truth of reality.
These meetings are open to anyone who is ready to discover their true nature and explore how this realisation might infuse their daily life. Come as you are. All that is required is willingness, openness and a sincere heart. See schedule for meeting times and cost.

"Following your Meeting in the Heart workshop I'm still experiencing an opening of the heart and within a deep tenderness and connection to my Truth. It feels so timely to have met you and to sit in the space with you where your presence, your words, your stillness and authenticity spoke to me in a profound way. The work we did in the group broke through another layer of resistance and although at the time I felt a degree of discomfort I am ever closer to the Truth of who I am. Deep gratitude for bringing this challenging work to us with beauty and serenity." Alison
Women's Temple
The Women's Temple is a sacred space especially created for women, which honours our monthly cycle and deep womanly wisdom. We explore practices including womb yoga, breath-work, yoga nidra, meditation, menstrual cycle wisdom, sound and movement. At times we may be guided to be in nature, simply share from the heart or spend some in silence. Each week will be different depending on what Love is asking of us.
By coming together in this way, we awaken the power of Shakti (the creative feminine life force), opening, trusting & connecting deeply to the collective wisdom of woman, rediscovering what it is to be rooted in Her, in our Feminine essence - free, wild, cyclical, flowing, natural, intuitive and loving.
In offering yourself this time, you will learn to receive yourself fully, connect with the different seasons of your cycle, your womanhood and radically transform your relationship with yourself and others. The circle welcomes all women, including pregnant women and babes in arms.
PLEASE NOTE: The Temple is deliberately held as a series of sessions payable in advance during term-time. This allows for our deepening in love, tenderness, trust, safety and openness together. I ask that you to commit to yourself, take responsibility and hold the sanctity of the Temple for yourself and other women. The circle created holds great value and is what allows for your deep unfolding into Life and the direct meeting with Her. ***please bring veg food to share afterwards for lunch***
BOOKING ESSENTIAL. SPACES ARE LIMITED. See schedule for class times and cost.

"Words limit the depth of experience I have encountered sitting in circle with sisters of the ‘Shakti Temple’ at Zu Studios. Each session is carved out of sharing the remarkable individual sister’s journeys, underpinned by the collective journey that resonates deep within each one of us. These are extraordinary times and to share how individuals respond to their journeys is profound, to say the least. I am deeply grateful to have found this space to support my journey with my 21 year old son who is currently exploring an integrated treatment approach to cancer. What a gift, to be blessed with a space to find meaning, to connect and feel supported, to talk, listen, laugh, cry, touch, hug, sing, dance, move and to find stillness. Thank you Abhijeeta for you abundant love and facilitating this extraordinary Shakti Temple!" Kriyasagar
