CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:

• Yoga class and Sound bath with Sofia Barnes from Love All Ways Yoga and Ailie from Yoga Rewild

Sofia of Love all ways yoga will be joining us at Rise once again, bringing her beautiful altars & opening & closing the day for us. Connecting us to the sacred that lives within & all around ~ Weaving together ceremony, ritual, multi instrumental sound journeys, spoken word, breath connection & beyond. Creating space for us to drop into the present as we gather together for a day full of diverse offerings led by an array of talented space holders.

Joining her in opening & closing the day will be Ailie of yoga rewild. They collaborate often & will be weaving our sound journeys for the day together. Creating a resonant tapestry of earthy, forest like, cosmic & twinkly sounds that will transport you in to a sense of timeless wonder, where different brain states can relax & soothe the body & mind.

• Shamanic drumming and singing with Sally Smiles

Come and journey the cosmos in this Shamanic Drum Circle with Sally Smiles. 

Connect deeply to the primal rhythm of the earth as we explore the medicine of drum, a sacred instrument that guides us to realms beyond the physical and the heartbeat of life itself. Be completely in the moment within this held space to express yourself freely, create change on a cellular level and allow the mystery to unfold. 

Drumming has been used by indigenous cultures for thousands of years to shift consciousness, release stagnant energy, and call in guidance from spirit. In this circle, we honour that tradition-creating a shared rhythm that supports personal insight, grounding and collective energy-raising.

This is a non-judgemental and all-inclusive circle and no experience is required.

Come as you are. The mystery awaits… Some drums provided, please also bring what you have!

• Earth Song with Sally Smiles and Victoria Waits 

Join Sally Smiles, Victoria Waits to sing songs of the land, heart & spirit. Weave voices & harmonies to live music, chants, earthy songs & soundscapes in connection, community & free expression.

• Kundalini Yoga with EmShanti

 Fire of Commitment- A journey into staying power 

A strong , detoxifying, and dynamic practice designed to build a strong resilient body and mind. 

We gain access to our fire ! and energy of self-belief and commitment.

Through detoxifying Himalayan kriya, powerful cleansing pranayama, and movement, we begin to create space for a deep self aware and dedicated state of mind , inner confidence, and courage. 

We prepare to meet life in its challenges with grounded power and forward momentum towards our highest potential and the life we want to live!

We cultivate staying power,  not giving up on ourselves!

• Breathwork with Jo - Serenity Flow

 Restorative Breathwork- Integrate & Renew

A gentle, restorative breathwork session focused on grounding, integration, and nervous system soothing. Using slower, softer breathing patterns and longer pauses, this practice supports deep rest, reflection, and emotional integration-allowing the body and mind to settle, restore, and prepare for re-emergence with clarity and steadiness.

• CACAO CEREMONY

Sofia will open the evening sharing with a cacao ceremony, this beautiful heart opening plant will be infused & mixed with an array of other plants to offer us an uplifting yet grounding concoction. Gathering together in circle to explore, sit & receive the energy & magic of chocolate in it's purest form. Cacao is said to ignite the heart & open us up, leaving us ready to explore 5 rhythms dance with Miranda welcoming our bodies to express & explore. Movement will help ignite the spirit of cacao as we dance & move with feeling & freedom.

• 5Rhythms with Miranda- White Heart Yoga

5Rhythms is conscious dance- moving to music through the five rhythms of flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical and landing in stillness - it’s a way of really understanding and being in our bodies rather than being caught in the thinking mind, it’s a path to freedom. Miranda has been holding 5Rhythms sessions for 8 years, now an accredited teacher and with 20 years experience in teaching yoga,  Miranda dj's and holds a sacred space for participants to move organically in their own way,
finding their unique dance

The dance will melt into stillness as we lie down to rest, receive & integrate the medicine of the day, with a deep sound journey held by Sofia & Ailie leaving us feeling expansive & spacious.
