Scaravelli Inspired Yoga

Movement in gravity using yoga and touch.

Finding ground, breath and wave. A Scaravelli-inspired Yoga workshop where we will explore inhabiting our bones and flesh through posture, movement and touch. This will include working together in pairs or threes to inspire greater depth of understanding of the body in gravity.

Rebecca is a movement practitioner, artist and poet. She is a yoga teacher in the approach of Vanda Scaravelli, which she combines with her writing and contemplative practice. She lives between Frome in Somerset, in a wooden wagon which she built with a friend during the Covid lock downs, and a meditation community in France where she is part of an evolving embodiment programme and has helped to set up a programme for volunteers to work there and experience contemplative living.

Embodied Yoga

Grounded in the traditional yoga asana, Ashka’s style weaves together the core principles of embodiment, mindfulness, and current research in anatomy. This holistic approach is designed to help students deepen their embodied experience on and off the mat, discover greater freedom in the body, and leave with an enriched sense of inner aliveness.

Expect slow flow vinyasa with elements of free movement in a creative and intuitive sequencing.

Grounded in her own study of yoga, Buddhist teachings and meditation, non-dual tantra, dance and embodiment, Ashka aims to facilitate a path to inner wholeness. Her teachings are an invitation to welcome more play and pleasure into the experience; she believes they are fundamental on our path to healing and lead to a deeply intimate and fulfilling life.

Sound Bath

This sound journey environment is the perfect place to re-energise. During the session, participants are guided into a state of relaxation through simple visualisation and breathing techniques to enable receptiveness to an immersive spectrum of sound and vibration. Our bodies consist of mostly water which allows us to resonate deeply with sound vibrations.

Julian is a qualified Gong Practitioner with the College of Sound Healing and has completed an Independent Yoga Network Accredited Instructor Training. He has also completed certified training with Mehtab Benton in Gong Yoga and Gong Therapy. He has taught yoga and held sound baths both as an independent practitioner and at small festivals for 6 years.

Morning & Evening Snuggles

Eshana will be offering cosy morning snuggles each day at Emerging Hearts. Come along for some soul nourishment, warm hearty hugs, gentle presence and deep care – filling your cup up with even more love to take with you into your dance. As the day draws to a close, come and snuggle up by the fire and experience some Belly2Belly, Sonic Spooning and other embodied cuddly magic in the evenings.

Eshana is a Cuddle Queen. She started running snuggle spaces after lockdown in response to the negative impact people were experiencing from not receiving enough touch during the pandemic. She felt so passionate about this that she flew over to the Netherlands to train as a cuddle workshop facilitator and then later as a Belly2Belly facilitator. She now offers monthly Belly2Belly workshops in West Hampstead and trains other practitioners to become cuddle and nervous system regulation workshop facilitators. When she is not supporting people to get super snuggly, she works one2one as a Psychosexual Therapeutic Coach, is training to become a Clinical Sexologist and teaches Relationships and Sex Education in schools and colleges.

Fascial Manoeuvres - A practice for self-healing

An opportunity to experience and embody how fascia facilitates our movement, maps through our bodies, and stores old injuries, memories, and emotions.

Gain a suite of manoeuvres and techniques to enable a release of our blocks, creating flow, and balance, and empowering you with tools for self-healing.

Over the years I have learnt multiple practices for self-improvement. Perhaps the most powerful resource I have found on my quest, certainly on a physical level, has been Fascial Manoeuvres.

So much so that I became a practitioner – wanting to share my experience and help others where I can.
