Prioritise Your Evolution
Pranayama, yoga, kriya, mantra in the Himalayan Yoga Tradition
These sessions take us on an evolutionary journey using breath, movement and mantra (sacred sounds) that awakens awareness and enhances our inner experience. Each session has a theme that unfolds throughout the session, enabling us to become free from our conditioning and dive into the inner realms of our consciousness. The sessions begin with specific breathing methods (pranayama) and progress into yoga asanas, with kriyas that enhance and consolidate the theme. A short meditation follows to bring us into stillness.
Come 15 mins early to learn relevant kriyas, mantra and bandhas for your journey

The Chakras – Centers of Consciousness
A sequential exploration through all the chakras.
These powerful kriyas have been gifted to us from the Himalayan Masters to share with those who wish to enhance their spiritual evolution.
The sessions will involve specific pranayama (breathing sequences and directed awareness) that awaken, enliven and balance the chakra and nadi system and take us beyond our everyday experience into the consciousness of the Self.
Each week there will be two specific methods taught that you will be able to practice during the week, to consolidate the inner processes and enhance your experience of the chakras, as we ascend the core of our being.
Commitment to all three classes required.
Ashtanga Yoga Basics and Yin Yoga with Luisa
Ashtanga Yoga Basics and Yin Yoga with Luisa
Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga (as taught by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois) is a dynamic system which gracefully synchronises breathing and movement. Its objective is to promote a strong flexible body and focused mind.
In this session you will enjoy and learn a Basic form and introduction to the primary series of Ashtanga Yoga.
The 30 minutes of Ashtanga Vinyasa practice begins with Surya Namaskara A and Surya Namaskara B, followed by the standing sequence and then the sitting sequence, along with 30 minutes of Yin Yoga.
Everyone is welcome to join, from experienced practitioners to first comers.
Looking forward to seeing you on the mat.
With joy
Luisa
Koha Exchange
Luisa’s mantra is “Go with the flow and embody the flow of life.”
When she isn’t flowing on the mat then Luisa lives her mantra on the ocean waves as a keen surfer. Luisa has a profound connection to the mindful aspects of Yoga and her love for the practice is rooted in her daily meditation and pranayama routines.
Luisa lives by Ayurveda and Yoga practices to support her mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health and growth and for her Yoga acts as a beautiful complement by helping her to relearn power and connection.
Luisa graduated as a Yoga Teacher from Jayayoga 200-hour training and completed another 100-hour Trauma-Informed Facilitator Training with Somapsych. Currently she is studying her 500hr training in Yoga therapy and Ashtanga Yoga. When on the teaching mat she inspires her Yogis to let go of any former beliefs and thoughts they may have held about Yoga encouraging instead a playful attitude so that they can explore more and more of themselves.
As a Ayurvedic Health Advisor from Hale Pule she passionately shares her knowledge about this ancient holistic nature-based science and encourages people to find balance in taking care of their own health with simple effective Ayurvedic practices.
Taking all those practices together Luisa also offers Thai Yoga Massage and Reiki as 1:1 bodywork sessions to get energy flowing.

Non-Duality Meditation
Where: Savitri Temple
Non-Duality Meditation in the Style of Moojibaba
Join this guided meditation for a direct experience of unity and oneness. Lasting approximately 45 minutes, this session invites you to rest in your natural state of awareness.
We begin by gently focusing on the breath (subject-object dualism) to strengthen samadhi and quiet the mind. Then, we let go of all effort, allowing awareness to rest in and as itself—effortless, open, and free.
No prior experience is needed—simply listen to the guidance and discover for yourself the true nature of being.
