GATHER - Kirtan & Social with Ivana
Last Friday of the month, 6:30-8pm, £12
Next dates:
Friday 27th September, 25th October & 27th December
This gathering is an evening of community, sacred sound vibration, mantra, kirtan chanting, and togetherness.
The word Mantra is derived from two Sanskrit roots; manas ‘mind’ and tra meaning ‘tool’. Mantra can teach the mind to become increasingly absorbed in that which is most essential. The Upanishads tell us that mantras can lead us towards healing, inspiration, transformation & and self-realisation.
"Mantra is a conversation between the self and divinity. All too often we separate ourselves from the divine, forgetting our truest nature. Chanting the names of God/Goddesses guides us back to a space of remembrance, of faith, devotion and love."
Kirtan - devotional, melodic call and response chanting in Sanskrit.
Calling upon the sacred sound allows your body and mind to absorb its resonance. Come and elevate yourself into a state of joy, unity, and deep connection.
Booking is essential as spaces are limited. Open to everyone and complete beginners are welcome.
A discounted rate is available for this offering if you are unable to pay the full price.

Sublime Teachings of Tantra with Ivana
Sundays 3.00-5.30pm, £27 per session
Next dates:
1st September - Awaken Universal Awareness
8th December - Ignite the Sacred Fire
Join Ivana in this extended practice that blends the rich tapestry of Tantric Hatha Yoga, Kriya Meditation, Mantra, and Yoga philosophy. This masterclass invites you to delve into Tantra's profound power and sublime teachings.
This practice combines intentional and centring asana to connect with and build your life force, pranayama, and the resonant sound of the harmonium, merging seamlessly with the reverberating pulse of the universe. The session will close with a tantric meditation technique that draws you into quietude and heightened awareness, igniting the sacred fire within to recognise and abide in your true essence.
This practice will be very much inspired by Ivana's upcoming trip to India, where she will visit sacred pilgrimages and deepen her practice. A Puja (offering) and Havan (fire ceremony) may also be part of this experience.
With reverence and compassion, I create a safe and nurturing space for you to access your inner wisdom, find inspiration, and tap into your innate capacity for healing, transformation and self-recognition.
You will gain knowledge and experience of:
-
Techniques that make you 'shine'
-
Increased self-awareness
-
Knowing how to integrate these teachings to evolve your spiritual practice and most importantly your daily life
But this practice is not just about knowing; it's about experiencing the 'unknown' and building trust -shraddha- in this process of Life.
Spaces are limited. Book here or contact Ivana: contact@yogawithivana.co.uk.
Reflect & Align with Ivana
Next dates:
Winter Solstice – Saturday 21st December 2024, 3.30-5.30pm
£21 per session
Reflect & Align practice was the annual end-of-the-year practice. Most of us can agree if we want to move in a new direction or create lasting changes we need to reflect and align more than once a year!
The Spring Equinox, Summer Solstice, Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice are significant events in the Earth’s annual journey around the sun. They mark key points in the changing of the seasons and provide an opportunity for reflection and alignment.
We gather to honour the changes happening within and around us. This is an invitation to deepen your connection and appreciation to nature, our intentions, core values and use the support of cyclical nature for our evolution and soul purpose.
Expect mandala making, mantra chanting, and simple movement to prepare you for a deep guided seasonal Yoga Nidra to access a sense of clarity and effortless awareness.
Allowing time for reflection, self-inquiry and connection to yourself and others.
Spaces are limited. Book here or contact Ivana: contact@yogawithivana.co.uk.
New Year's Eve & Morning Special with Ivana
Next dates:
Tuesday 31st December 4-6pm
Sunday 5th January 9-11am
£24 per session, including tea, sweet treat and good company
Join Ivana in one of these annual practices that will guide your body and mind for meditation to reflect, to point towards things you would like to achieve, to show you what is holding you back and to point towards steps to its means.
This will be a slow-paced, intentional Hatha Yoga practice led by your breath. You will be treated to an extended deep relaxation- Yoga Nidra which will allow you to drop into a state of effortless ease and heighten awareness.
The next part of the practice will be pranayama, meditation led to self-inquiry and perhaps a little journaling if you like.
Space for discussion, sharing or just simply be in the company of each other will conclude the practice.
Join us for the last last practice of 2024 and the first one of 2025!
These sessions are very popular and sold out every year, we recommend booking your space early.
