Events: Course January 2012 – “Vedic Art”
The founder of Vedic Art is the Swedish artist Curt Källman. He received a traditional art education at the Academy of Art in Stockholm but soon started to work in his own way. He created a training in which he combined the traditional art school with the Indian Vedic philosophy.
The ancient teachings of the Vedas point out, that all knowledge already exists within us, like a seed “knowing” how to become a flower. When nature is allowed to follow its own flow, everything is perfect and in balance. This counts for human beings as well if we let ourselves be guided back to the source within.
All knowledge we need, is already present and the so called 17 principles in Vedic Art are nothing new. They work through everything as a natural longing to create unity. They go beyond right and wrong, allowing life itself to take over…
To create is something natural and everyone is able to do it! Vedic Art is about direct experiences. The 17 principles are simply a tool to guide you within. While you are painting, feelings are awakened…You become more aware of yourself and at the same time you will experience the whole process of creation: Art and life merging into one…That is Vedic Art.
Time: January 2012
Length: One week.
Group Size: Around 15-20 people.
Steps: The process involves 3 steps. Students can take one step in 2 days or go all 3 in one week.
Cost: 190 GBP per step
Yoga teacher: Meet Hatha yoga teacher, Caroline Knight
What type of yoga do you offer?
Hatha yoga. I also incorporate pranayama, guided meditation and yoga nidra into the classes.
What makes your yoga different?
While vinyasa and Astanga may be the practice of choice for many people, I believe in taking the yoga down a few notches in pace and really coming into the postures to get maximum benefit for the body, awareness and breath.
While my practice may not have the speed or sweat factor of a vinyasa, it will make you work hard and have you serene by the end of class.
Who is your yoga suited to?
I listen to any demands and needs of my students and adjust my sequence accordingly. I make sure that I offer many variations on the more advanced poses so all abilities and levels of health can participate.
I am extremely keen to encourage more men to discover the amazing power of yoga… for their bodies- inner and outer!

Yoga Centre Review: Debut Gallery, Westbourne Grove
Having an Art Gallery as a venue just adds a new dimension to Yoga
This is a beautiful little boutique gallery that is very open minded when it comes to the world of art.
The Yoga session there on Tuesday evenings is truly inspiring. While placing your efforts into your down dogs and warriors one and two. Being surrounded by the Yoga inspired art, amongst other calming pieces adds another dimension to the class.
In addition, the green tea mingler for yogis before and after the session is also a great way of meeting like minded people as well as getting a good chance to “try the art before you buy” so to speak.
Well, how do you know if a painting calms or de-stresses you if you do not try it out first.
Classes
A dynamic style of yoga inspired by Vinyasa and Pilates that promotes fitness and well-being in mind and body whilst building strength in both areas. The constant flow of movement combined with deep breathing and dynamic stretches is aimed to decrease stress and calm the mind. Help detox, tone and aid in weight loss. Increase strength and flexibility to help improve general stiffness, aches and pains as well as an aid in injury prevention.

Yoga Centre Review: West London Buddhist Centre, Westbourne Grove
“It is a charity run centre that focuses on meditation and yoga. The surroundings might not be as glossy as most Yoga centres but the atmosphere is of a calm relaxing state. More of a comfortable cosy feeling.
The quality of the teaching is of a high level and there are many different types of Yoga to choose from.
Monday and Thursday mornings is a dynamic Yoga inspired by Vinyasa and Pilates. I do like this particular style, I find it a good all rounder when it comes to fitness, weight loss, detox and a destress.
It is made for all levels, you come out feeling relaxed and also feel that you have had a great work out. It is based around the Notting Hill area and I do strongly recommend a visit”.
What makes this yoga centre different?
It yoga centre houses one of the hardest working dynamic yoga classes

Events: Workshop – “Jivamukti Chakra Balancing Workshop with Lizzie Reumont”
Heal your body, mind and spirit before Christmas chaos takes over, with this uplifting yoga practice. The Sanskrit word “chakra” means “wheel”. A wheel rolls, turns and, by means of cyclic or circular movement, takes one on a journey.
The human body has seven primary chakras that we can also think of as energetic centres. When these energy centres are open and healthy, so are we – physically, emotionally and in our relationships. However, when they are blocked through injury, illness or disconnection with others, we are blocked also, from being our best selves.Chakras are affected most directly through energetic movement and deeply held asanas, vibration and intention.
Sourced from ancient teachings, chakra yoga is perhaps more
relevant today than ever, at a time when so many feel disconnected from others and themselves. Chakra yoga can heal your body and free your heart to experience joy.
Lizzie will guide you through postures, mantras and the philosophy behind the chakra system that open and balance the energy
centres. You will feel your energy and life force flowing and
experience a new level of happiness, wholeness and peace.
Suitable for all levels except complete beginners
