Yogasana XL
with Claire
A monthly, extended practice designed to give us the time and space to go a little deeper, explore, and really find our groove.
We'll explore the four practical aspects of Ashtanga Yoga: asana (posture), pranayama (breath), dhyana (meditation), and mantra (sacred sound), weaving them into a practice that goes beyond the physical.
Expect a full, well-rounded practice, moving through standing postures and balances, forward folds, seated postures, heart openers, and the option for some inversions. With the luxury of a little more time, there's space to settle into the practice, explore your edges, and perhaps stay a little longer in the places where the real work begins.
We'll then slow everything down with a deeply relaxing savasana and yoga nidra, leaving you grounded, restored, and blissfully relaxed.

Gheranda Samhita by Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati (Bihar School of Yoga) is a powerful and practical guide to classical Hatha Yoga, as taught in one of the foundational yogic texts of the same name. The Gheranda Samhita, traditionally presented as a conversation between Sage Gheranda and his disciple Chanda, outlines a sevenfold path to purification and self-realisation through shatkarma (cleansing), asana (posture), mudra, pratyahara (sense withdrawal), pranayama, dhyana (meditation), and samadhi (absorption).
This edition by the Bihar School of Yoga provides a clear English translation alongside the original Sanskrit verses, enriched with commentary from Swami Niranjanananda that draws on both traditional understanding and practical application in contemporary yogic life.
Ideal for dedicated practitioners, yoga teachers, and students of yogic scripture, this book offers an authentic lens into the depth of yogic discipline and spiritual refinement.
