It is said in Kundalini Yoga teachings that the soul is attached to being a woman. Woman is said to be a high incarnation and women are recognised in various traditions as being naturally closer to the meditative and awakened state. We are clearly full of potential and lacking for nothing. We need no advice, as we naturally actually already fully know .. and yet we can admit, we all need reminding, help, training, some kind of discipline for all this.
Enter Kundalini Yoga. This tradition is rich in timeless teachings for modern women - vital and potentially life-changing information that is difficult to find anywhere else. Importantly, it also provides an abundance of practices that turn the theory into a lived reality, helping us reliably find our way back or forward to our true inner bounty and beauty.
In the Body of a Woman is a vital curriculum of intensive courses for women of all ages. It is a selection of the most crucial teachings and powerfully transformative practices along with guidance and invitations to self-reflection and integration into daily life.
You can attend an individual course of your choosing that speaks to you. Or, if you’re ready for the commitment, sign up for a collection of them.
A warm welcome to you to Grisht Ashram, school of the householder. I am happy that you are here and I look forward to seeing you in class.

wisdom of instinct
the know-how of the no
8th to 29th september
Inside of us is an innate sense of a healthy no. We are born with it. Yet, mostly, it is conditioned out of us to some extent. We end up as adults with a hazy sense of our no, and this doesn’t help us to know our yes. It is vital (and so revitalising) to recover this healthy instinct and it can be done!
In this course you will be invited to explore the know how of the no in yourself, the wisdom of your instincts. This process of recovery involves practising a deeper listening to yourself and, very likely, a cleaning out of some confusion along the way. Only when your no is clear can your yes be self-affirming in the very best, even wonderful, way.

for women

monday evenings 6.30 to 8.30pm - beaconsfield
Habits make the man, they say .. and the woman!
This course shares the knowledge of yogic self-care for women. Kundalini Yoga, with its closeness to Ayurveda (ancient Indian wisdom of long life), offers practical daily lifestyle tips that bring harmony to your being - cellular, hormonal and spiritual. To consciously care for your physical body might seem like a superficial thing to some, but, especially if you haven’t been in the habit of it, the transformational effects on all levels of your being can be surprisingly powerful. It’s an expression of care and connection with yourself - a powerful act of self-acceptance and kindness that can bring great healing.

living in the flow of intuition
24th November to 15th december
monday evenings 6.30 to 8.30pm - beaconsfield
We are so much more intelligent than often we recognise let alone live by. We have mostly been trained to live by intellect, not intuition, and so we get ourselves into a lot of trouble that could otherwise be avoided!
The great news is, we can at any time discover/rediscover/more fully commit to our intuition, which can be defined as an extra-sensory ability to know what the rational mind can’t know. It’s also called the 6th sense and in women this is amplified. But did you know that your sense of touch, which we could call the 4th sense, is also connected to intuition? This is what we call the Truth Barometer - a felt sense of truth and rightness inside of you that lets you know the answer to every question.
Once you start living like this and trusting it you’ll never want to go back to the old limited ways! And again, this is an innate ability that we were born with, but we need some training to remember and cultivate it. A must for every woman who wants to be truly happy and in her own flow.
