Saturday 26th April, 6-8 pm
The most calming and restful session returns to the Shala. Join us for an evening of deep relaxation through restorative yoga and a soothing sound bath.
Begin with calming breathwork and gentle movement with Ezgi, then unwind as Sunni guides you through a peaceful sound bath.
What to expect from the Soundbath experience?
Let yourself be bathed in the soothing vibrational frequencies of the Quartz Crystal bowls, as each ripple of sound helps you to realign on a deep and cellular level. Complemented by various percussion instruments such as chimes and shakers to create an immersive sensory experience.
As you settle in for your Sound bath, Sunni will guide you with a short meditation to help you slip into a deeper state of relaxation. Then simply drift on the waves of sound into a beautifully dreamy state of being.
As the session closes, you will be guided gently back and left with a few moments of silence so you can reflect and integrate your experience.
Sunni Briony:
Sound Healing is an ancient energy healing practice that utilises the healing vibrational frequencies emitted by specific instruments to bring balance and harmony into every cell of your being.
I work mainly with Pure Quartz Crystal singing bowls at 432hz to draw upon the natural healing qualities of Quartz and the vibrational tuning of the natural world.
I also include beautifully tuned chimes, percussion instruments and Tibetan bowls to further enhance your immersive sound experience.
Sound Healing works to bring you into a deeply relaxed state of being so that your body can access its rest & digest state, meaning you can begin to heal on deep and cellular level.
All it requires is for you to get comfortable, usually lying down, covered in a blanket and with a comforting eye pillow.
You simply bathe in the sound and drift into a sleepy magical state while the internal magic of balance and harmony happens.
Cost: £35 ( or £28 if booked until 5th April)

Sunday April 27th & May 4th and 11th 2025

We’re excited to announce a new Share & Grow event!
As always, we’ll explore different aspects of yoga, with a special focus on a key theme—this time, Backbends! After the session, you’re welcome to join us in town for a cuppa and a chat—a lovely way to stay connected with our small community.
Here’s what to expect roughly:
- 30 mins – Sitting Meditation & Pranayama
- 45 mins – Mysore-style practice (assisted self-practice). You’ll work through as much of your practice as time allows.
- 45 mins – Led Backbending & Finishing. We will borrow some simple backbends from the intermediate series and combine them with extra drills to prepare ourselves for Urdhva Dhanurasana (Full Wheel Pose) and optional backdrops. As always, it’s fine to do as much as it feels right.
- 15 mins – Relaxation
Cost: We offer sliding-scale pricing to accommodate different financial situations. Choose a ticket option that fits your budget and acknowledges the energy and effort we bring to this offering.
Past Events!
We are excited to host Iyengar Yoga teacher Jenny Box at the Shala.
Iyengar Yoga is a form of Hatha Yoga that emphasises precision, alignment, and the use of props like blocks, straps, and bolsters to make poses accessible and safe for all levels. Developed by B.K.S. Iyengar, it focuses on building strength, stability, and awareness through detailed instruction and sustained practice in each posture.
This workshop offers an introduction to the Iyengar Yoga method, with a primary focus on standing poses. You’ll explore the alignment, stability, and balance in a supportive and detailed way.
It’s suitable for all levels, including beginners, and props will be used to ensure accessibility for everyone.

Sunday the 9th & 16th & 25th February, 11 am-12:15 pm
This course will help you feel confident about joining Mysore classes and experience the benefits of building a self-practice.
The Ashtanga Yoga Mysore Method is a unique and traditional approach to learning and practising Ashtanga Yoga, rooted in self-paced progress under the guidance of a teacher. Unlike a typical led class, Mysore-style practice allows students to move through the sequence at their own rhythm, memorising and building the series over time.
In this method, students receive one-on-one attention, with the teacher offering personalised adjustments, assistance, and encouragement. It is suitable for all levels—from complete beginners to advanced practitioners—because the practice is tailored to each individual’s experience, needs, and abilities.
The Mysore Method fosters independence, consistency, and a deep connection to the practice, offering an opportunity to cultivate focus, discipline, and presence both on and off the mat.
Suitable for ALL-LEVELS including Yoga beginners.
This course can be booked as a full 3-week package or on a week-by-week basis.
cancellation & booking: please refer to our website for the full 3-week booking https://yogashalacanterbury.com/cancellation-refunds-policy/
(not available when you book a single class)
