This powerful kriya can raise the consciousness from zero to infinity in pretty quick order.

- Improves voice

- Brings rhythm and harmony to your communication

- Promotes weight loss by balancing the glandular system

- Harmonises you attitude to face current life challenges

4. An evening with Alchemy on Sunday night.

A time of the month when all from Alchemy (the team, teachers and students) get together to have a bit of a chant and bring their own style to an evening full of music and chant. It is an evening to invoke feelings of peace, love and togetherness. Unite to sing sacred sounds and share a joyful experience.

More infomation about all of these events below and how to book!
We hope to see you soon at the Centre!

 

With love & blessings,
The Alchemy Team

yoga in the park

If you go down to the park this weekend, you’ll be sure of a big surprise! For every yogi will be practicing outside in the park with yoga teacher Liz. It’s not often we Londoners get to experience the joy of practicing yoga outside but it is a wonderful thing to do. And this way, you won’t feel silly doing it all by yourself. Curious passer-bys may stare but you can share the attention with the group!

Starting Saturday, May 14th, I will be teaching yoga every week on the lawn of Kensington Palace Gardens. There is nothing like practicing outside to reconnect with the earth and oneself, and practicing in a group to benefit the lives of others both extends the connection from the earth to all beings, and from the mat into daily life.

Find out more…

When?

Saturday’s, 9:00am-10:30am

Where?

Kensington palace gardens, south or palace, west of broad walk ( opposite and south of pond)

How much?

The class is a donation-based class with all proceeds going to a London- based organization called The Kids Company.

The Kids Company helps at risk kids from 0-23 years old in a variety of ways. They provide everything from in-school therapy to full live-in care for children to young adults, and a variety of programs in-between such as after school programs and mealtime programs, depending on the needs of the individual.
