Sangha means Community. Once a month we bring the community together in a special practice followed by chat & chai (ok, cookies or cakes are often present too..). Join us in April for a nourishing Yin Yoga class led by Renee, followed by Kirtan with Gea and Mark (we want to call ourselves "The Down Dogs" but are not yet ready). A perfect way to wrap up your Saturday!

About the teacher - Renée
Renée is a lover of movement, though she only discovered this passion through yoga at 26. Yoga began a beautiful journey of reconnection, self-discovery, and healing through movement. After experiencing the profound and liberating nature of yoga as more than just a movement practice, but a state of being where nothing is missing, she couldn't imagine a life doing anything other than sharing that gift.
Her intention as a yoga teacher is to make the practice of yoga accessible, enjoyable, and an integral part of more lives. She wishes to create a safe space to foster a playful exploration of the Self through breath, movement, and awareness informed by yoga philosophy. Enabling you to cultivate your own expression of the practice. To best serve your body, mind, and spirit both on and off the mat.
Renée teaches from her training in Hatha, Yin & Vinyasa as well as drawing inspiration from her self practice of somatic movement, floorwork and AcroYoga.

About the teacher - Gea
Gea’s first contact with Yoga happened early in her life at home in Croatia, with her mother who is a Yoga teacher. Once she enrolled in the University, alongside studying Mathematics and Computer science, she developed a deep devotion and curiosity for the practice of Yoga. She pursued her Yoga path as a teacher, and ever since, taught Vinyasa, Hatha, Prenatal, Postnatal & Restorative Yoga across Europe, the US, and now in London.
Gea is a Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga teacher, educator, and a doula. She offers a heart-centered yoga practice rich with creative sequencing, functional alignment & skillfully weaved yoga philosophy for inspired living. Her aim is to honor the ancient wisdom of yoga, be inspired by modern science, and convey the often misunderstood Yogic philosophy & spiritual teachings in an easily digestible way for a modern practitioner of yoga & meditation.
She is the founder of the SOMA Yoga studio in Wandsworth, and besides that, she is a part of the Spanda Institute faculty as the Program Director for Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga, lead teacher on 200h Yoga teacher trainings, and a teacher and mentor for the advanced 500h teacher training.
