We explore what is going on in the world today and how can a yoga practice seriously answer questions for us, and support us in navigating what is right for us to be in true alignment with our soul.
Kundalini Yoga is known as Aquarian Yoga, but what does this mean?
What is the Aquarian Age and how do we actively co-create this new world?

A kundalini yoga day retreat for women at Edinburgh Wellness Centre and Cafe, Beetroot Sauvage
Do you want to explore the power of kundalini energy, the shakti energy, and how we can adapt our practice to honour the female body, our untapped power and our sacred cycles? Then this day retreat is for you.
‘Stay in the light’ is a well-known message that those who are on a spiritual path will have heard. All we have to do is ‘be positive’ and ‘create our own reality’. Love, light and all the fluffiness that comes with it can stop us from Being in our own Nature. This is about totally being where and who we are, accepting our emotions, accepting our body as it is without the need to bypass our Realness to jump into the light.
If we really want to evolve, change and transform – we need to know ourselves. Destruction is part of our Creativity, but we don’t talk about depression, grief and sadness. These are all part of our human experience – they are places of untapped power.
Join Jenny and Sat Nadar in circle to explore ourselves and dive deep into all that we. This workshop is for women, with kundalini yoga, dance, cacao, meditation, breathwork and poetry.
Beetroot Savage has a delicious vegan cafe within the studio, where we will stop for lunch (not included in ticket price, you are also welcome to bring your own snacks/lunch)

Prana is not only our basic life-force and primal energy, it is also the original creative power, the master form of energy working at every level of our being. It controls and regulates all of our bodily functions: our breath, our digestion, the distribution of nutrients in our body, healthy elimination, cellular growth and healing.
Our well being and overall health, our emotions, thoughts and our consciousness all depend on the quality of our prana.
To begin positive transformations in our body, mind and spirit we must understand the energy through which they work first - our prana - and learn how to improve it effectively.
We invite you to take part in this workshop which can bring amazing transformation to the quality of your life on different levels.
We will dive deep into various breathwork practices, learn about our Pranic Body and how to take care of it, address appropriate nutrition and the importance of everything else that we ingest (also on an emotional level). We will also discuss important processes of healthy elimination and Apana (the energy of elimination).
Course structure involves:
3 x 1.5hours Zoom calls on the following Thursdays: 27th January, 3rd and 10th February at 7pm (recorded if you can’t make it live)
One in person class held in an Edinburgh studio in February/March 2022 for a group journey of bodywork and transformational breathwork (on a date arranged by group agreement)
One to one session with Functional Medicine Health Coach to discuss a personal plan for your nutrition and elimination
Weekly protocols to do in your own time to help you activate your prana
