Shiva and Shakti Philosophy and Practice with Elena Byers
Within yogic & tantric philosophy Shiva and Shakti can be understood as energetic principles existing in relationship with one another as a fluid, perpetual dance of union. One the formless ground of being, or pure awareness.
The other, the ever-shifting form of life arising from and melting back into it. Neither separate, but forever interwoven and supporting, informing and playing with one another. These qualities offer a wonderfully rich field of exploration through movement and meditation - which can often deepen our yoga practice in profound ways! Allowing us to experience the subtler energetic principles at play, and the fluid, inseparable nature of all that is.
Move, chant, pause, reflect - an extended practice open to anyone curious about yoga philosophy!

Autumn Flow to Yin with Wen Yee Kok
Join Wen for a 90-min slow and nourishing practice embracing autumn. As the days grow shorter and the air turns cooler, it’s time to embrace a slower pace, tuning inwards and reflecting on the year.
This practice invites you to embody the essence of autumn, a season associated with the metal element, the Lung and Large Intestine Meridian according to the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) - guiding us towards introspection and restfulness.
We will begin with some gentle Qigong-inspired flow that incorporates breathwork and self-tapping/massage techniques, to awaken and circulate energy (prana) throughout the body. The practice will then gradually shift into stillness with longer-held yin poses supported by props, targeting our deeper connective tissues and guiding you into deep rest.

Ritual + Sound with Laura Taylor
oin Laura for 90 minutes of honouring the depths of the darker seasons. Gathering in circle you will have the opportunity to connect to the depths within yourself through guided visualisation and journaling, before settling i to your cosy candlelight nests to receive a nourishing sound healing session to embrace the stillness of the darker seasons.
We will close with a candle ritual which you will take home with you to continue the your intentional connection of the light within the dark.
the bones of it with Sally Balfourth
As the days grow shorter, how can we befriend the darkness while not losing sight of the light? Although the bones of the body can feel like such a definite presence, symbols of both mortality and magic.
Though known for giving us shape and structure, they can be amazing guides into some of the more subtle layers too. We will explore through slow, somatic work and unfold into deep restorative practice.
Palace of the Pelvis with Sally Balfourth
The pelvis is dynamic, both fundamental to our daily functional movements and as a portal for deeper connection. And it can be both complex and contradictory; a holding place for both creative expression and shame.
This workshop is an invitation to pay attention and experience your relationship with the pelvic bowl and beyond. Sally holds this space to experience the subtleties of the pelvis. She feels strongly about pelvic health, particularly the pelvic floor, being part of a wider public health conversation.
Equinox Flow with Tayler Hayes
Honouring the changing flow of the seasons helps us connect to the ever changing rhythms of our own being. When we align our practice with seasons, we remember that we are not separate from nature. Life moves through us, as us. Join Tayler in her signature seasonal flows (they happen 4 times a year on the equinoxs/solstices) to somatically explore this theme.
Seasonal Yin with Wen Yee Kok
Join Wen for a 90-min slow, nourishing late summer practice, embodying the element of earth, which is also associated to the spleen and stomach (according to the Traditional Chinese Medicine). The session includes gentle Qigong-inspired flow, grounding breathwork, self-tapping/massage technique, and yin poses into guided rest.
Release (the practice with the balls!) with Pip Roberts
A myofascial release practice - we will work with balls to get deep into our bodies and allow them to ungrip, loosen and hydrate.
After a good roll about on the floor and the balls you feel like the creases have dropped out of you as well as full body rejuvenation.
Solstice - a yoga practice for Summer with Tayler Hayes

About this event
Yoga with Sally and Beyond the Mix:
In these 90 minutes sessions, Sally will be holding space for inquiry, movement and discussion. An opportunity to connect, to feel, to explore.
More about Sally:
My personal practice, work and life are animated by creativity. It inspires me to continuously grow and discover.
I love to gather and absorb many sources of inspiration. My approach to facilitation and inquiry is informed by many diverse yet connected roots including somatic inquiry, storytelling and the yoga tradition.
The practices I explore change with the cycles and seasons. I like to draw upon both what is beautiful and what is challenging using a variety of techniques, approaches and adventures.
Paramount to my work is delighting in our commonality yet understanding that each of us are different.
Beyond the Mix is a safe space for Mixed Heritage women to connect and share.
Our aim is to build a community where Mixed Women can explore their identity, attend classes and events together while feeling safe and supported.
We are here to be heard, seen and listened to, our platform gives our community the opportunity to stand boldly while sharing and exploring together.
We run a variety of courses, workshops and events through 5 different strands:
Movement/ Family/ Identity/ Business/ Fun
Beyond the Mix is inclusive and open to all mixes and all women. We welcome women from the queer, non binary and trans community creating a non judgemental environment for people to be open, feel understood and connect. One of our key aims is to empower and uplift women from our community and beyond to give them confidence and opportunity to showcase their projects and ideas.book here
