'Heart & Bowl' A Yoga and Supper Event

Your heart is the hardest working muscle in the body.  It beats 100,000 times each day and pumps over 7500 litres of blood around the body.  An organ which is approximately the size of your fist, it's pulsating hum creates the rhythm of life.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine the heart is associated with the season of Summer, the element of Fire and the emotion of Joy.  In yoga the heart is where all emotions arise and our desires become entangled.  There exists also a spiritual heart, the hridaya, associated with the physical heart but containing the mystery of innate knowing, deep wisdom and our capacity for compassion, light and understanding.

This joyful heart to heart yoga and supper event is another collaboration between Emma and Laura.   Building on the vibrant successful format of 2 previous yoga and brunch sessions they decided to offer the same high quality deliciousness in the shape of an evening event.  

Your yoga practice will consist of an open invitation to release tension in the spine through an appropriate for participant back bending sequence.  The energy of the heart is wise and holds within it joy and courage allowing you to overcome fears and gently access extention of the spine compassionately and safely.  A selection of props will be employed to accompany your journey and as you move into the latter stages of the class we slip into the yin river of bliss for a tranquil pause.  Now poses are held a little longer, allowing meditative awareness to create space and balance as breath expands and contracts just as the heart so regularly does.  The practice closes with a restorative guided relaxation.

You'll continue to immerse yourself in the enchanting ambiance of a warm summer evening, where tantalising smells, laughter and conversation fill the air. Gathered around a table filled with the tastiest foods of the season, we embark on a culinary experience designed to nourish not just your body but also your heart and overall well-being.  Let your imagination transport you on a visualisation journey, where we tap into how our vibrant food travelled from soil to plate. Every step of the way we'll express gratitude for the abundance of nutrition and joy that summer provides.  As the evening unfolds, you'll discover a harmonious blend of cooling and warming ingredients carefully selected to delight every taste bud and ignite your senses. May this summer soiré spark heart-felt conversations, delight your taste buds and become a beautiful memory. 

And the whole heartfelt event takes place in the serene peace of Yoga Avenue's garden studio with the supper experience, weather permitting, an outdoors affair under the setting sun and awakening stars.  (In the event of weather not conducive to outdoor dining, supper will be indoors).

Only 6 spaces are available for this bespoke event which includes a beautiful gift bag to take home with you.
