This weekend is an opportunity to cultivate the healing power of dreams, of playful free creativity, wonder and the juiciness of joy ! As it is springtime, a season of birth and new life – we can align with the energy of nature by taking time to nourish our own inner child, our sense of innocence and wonder.
This can be a powerful, pivotal time to ignite new growth and positive change in our lives.
A solar eclipse occurs on April 20th in the final degree of Aries “the Ram”, this can also give us the energy of courage, supporting us in making decisive choices and bold steps for powerful new beginnings! We are also supported by the new moon as we work with the energy of new life, new growth and new possibilities.
The call of the Light as it grows in our environment is also a call to us to nourish the Light within:
What makes your heart sing?
What new qualities would you like to grow within yourself?
How would you wish to channel your creativity through the months ahead?
You will experience powerful Kundalini Yoga & Meditation to support your own healing journey over this weekend. We will create a nourish space to release emotions that may block us in life, share practices to cultivate a deep connection to our inner essence, and nurture our capacity to heal and grow through playful creative activities and deep relaxation Throughout the weekend there will be live music to intuitively support and deepen our practice together.

Aquarian Sadhana – Early Morning Yoga Practice ( Saturday & Sunday )**
Sharing yoga in the Amit Vela, the early morning hours, is a beautiful and foundational part of the Kundalini Yoga Practice. There is a sublime joy as we prepare to meet the day with a nourishing yoga practice, followed by deep relaxation, and then chanting with live music as the sun rises.
The full Aquarian Sadhana begins with recitation of JaapJi – “the Song of the Soul”.
This has been a key part of my own daily sadhana for many years. Composed in Gurmuki,
a language combining Sanskrit and Punjabi, this takes about twenty minutes to recite. You are welcome to join in or simply lie down and listen. The physical yoga set begins around 7am. This includes deep relaxation with live music, and is followed by chanting a series of Aquarian Mantras to elevate our consciousness to the presence of the divine, beyond duality. Participating in a full Aquarian sadhana can be a powerfully uplifting experience!

Aisling Gheall : Creative Vision – The Call of Destiny
Kundalini yoga offers a path of spiritual warrior. Through these time tested practices we can let go of stress, tension worry and heal ourselves from self-limiting patterns. We strengthen our courage and release fear.
We use the energy of fire within us to strengthen our will, bring crystal clear focus and move through the challenges that we may face. We cultivate a strong aura and connection to the panic body through our breath.
Ultimately, we invite divine guidance and alignment with our soul so that we can live our Life Purpose and shine our Light into the world.
