Transformational Hatha Yoga

Saturday 9am

With roots in South India, Transformational yoga® is a powerful, integral & classical approach to physical health, emotional balance & mental & spiritual clarity.

With an in depth focus on the asanas, the chakras, mantras, breathing & meditation, this system offers the tools & knowledge for purification of the physical body, calming the emotions, focusing the mind & deeper connection to the spiritual self.

The balance of Asana, Pranayama, Mantra & Meditation is suitable for all & offers a removal of toxins & purification of the kosha's (5 layers of the being), activating our dormant energy (kundalini) to connect deeper to our balance & bliss consciousness.

Based on the teachings of Sri Aurobindo & The Mother who inspired Sri Swami Vidyanand to create this powerful system. Joanne trained directly with this Yoga Master in the South of India, close to Auroville.
Accessible for all levels.​


A system of Yoga, with 4 steps,

1 / Releasing & Purification (Body/Mind/Emotions)

2 / Making space

3 / Awakening Dormant energy (Kundalini)

This class brings in elements of Joanne's ritual & ceremony, a deeper connection to the elements, with a shorter gentle Transformational Yoga practice, followed by relaxation. All intuitive, so feeling into the energies of the moment.

The 'Transform to Bliss' is the releasing of the layers, the conditions, the labels we may have taken on as our own through our life, so we can return or 'transform' to that beautiful state of bliss we arrived into this world with ~ knowing we have all we need within.
