She threw away her masks and put on her soul
welcome…to SorayaYoga
Yoga classes, Workshops & Retreats in Berkhamsted and Ashridge Forest
Yoga is an inspirational journey, an embodied practice and a way of life, helping you to reveal your unique potential and connecting with who you really are beneath the masks and labels we place on ourselves. Would you like more awareness of the habitual patterns that block you? what keeps you stuck causing tension and stress? Begin to live in your body not just in your mind.
The goal is not to tie ourselves in knots, we're already tied in knots. The aim is to untie the knots in our hearts. The aim is to unite with the ultimate loving and peaceful power in the universe - Erich Schiffmann
My classes are friendly, nurturing and fun, open to everyone regardless of age, sex, shape, flexibility or where you are on your personal journey.
Physiological instruction, insightful readings/poetry and a healthy dose of humour are offered in harmony with expert tuition in all aspects yoga. Teachings are based on a profoundly rich heritage of the ancient traditions of yoga, tantra and meditation.
Classes are extremely varied, depending on the specific needs of students and themes such as the cycles of nature or the elements. Some will incorporate flow sequences using the rhythm of your breath and interconnecting postures (the “asanas”) Others will focus strongly on the correct alignment within specific postures, this cultivates strength and stamina and helps the body and mind expand to unlock deeply rooted stress and tension.

Soundbath's are like receiving a massage through sound, an oasis of sound. You are immersed in vibrations from tibetan singing bowl, gong, rainstick, shamanic drum. Which invites you into a deep, therapeutic relaxation. Read this article on mindbodygreen about how sound healing can boost our health.

Join the Restorative yoga tribe in this practice of being rather than doing. Relax and restore as the body is held by props (bolsters, blocks etc), allowing a gentle releasing of not only muscular tension but all those to do lists!! deep bliss ensues. Session finishes with tea & homemade gluten/sugar free cake. Leave feeling deeply relaxed yet energised.
