SWANA COMMUNITY STABILISATION SESSION ~~~~~
Somatic Movement Workshop 26th July 2 - 4pm
Stabilisation and Care During Difficult Times
You will develop the skills to stabilise within the body’s intelligent responsiveness—learning to engage with openness and care as a move toward creation and away from numbness or denial. Through somatic practices, we will embody an interdependent presence, reclaiming communal safety as a way to face our shared reality without having to face it alone or in isolation.
This workshop is available via Zoom and in the Studio.
Suhad’s intention is to provide a safe and supportive space for you to reconnect with your body’s natural capacity for healing and restore balance at all levels.
Gut-Brain Connection and Vagus nerve - A Somatic Exploration
The quality of our digestive system’s functioning often reflects our attitudes towards nourishment on all levels: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Your digestive tract is essentially an internal space open to the outside world, and in this workshop, Suhad will guide you through a deep Somatic movement exploration to connect with your gut tube and digestive organs.
This workshop is especially beneficial if you experience digestive issues or IBS. By deeply listening to your internal movements, sensing, and feeling, we’ll explore movement patterns and release tension held along the entire gut tube, from your mouth and jaw all the way down through your organs. We’ll also inquire into the memories that may be held within your digestive system from different stages of your development, offering a somatic approach to understanding and improving your gut health.
Saturday All welcome Yoga 11am
Yoga Point Brixton and online
I teach Vinyasa Yoga influenced by Vinyasa Krama (an ancient practice of physical and spiritual development), combining movement and sequence with the breath. By integrating the functions of mind, body and breath in the same time frame, practitioners will experience the real joy of yoga practice. I bring in modifications and variations to make the class accessible to all levels. I believe that yoga is a moving meditation and I emphasise the importance of meditation throughout my class.
Advanced Vinyasa, Yin Yoga, and Meditation teacher
I teach advanced Vinyasa Yoga influenced by Vinyasa Krama (an ancient practice of physical and spiritual development), combining movement and sequence with the breath. By integrating the functions of mind, body and breath in the same time frame, practitioners will experience the real joy of yoga practice. I bring in modifications and variations to ensure the class is accessible, safe and supportive of all levels.
I came to believe that yoga is a moving meditation and in my classes and teachings, I emphasise the importance of meditation and Pranayama.
I completed 5oohrs RYT certificate, trained initially in 2019 in India qualified in Vinyasa (ashtanga-based) and Yin Yoga, and then trained with the fabulous Stewart Gilchrist (East London School of Yoga) completing my advanced 300hrs certification in 2024.
I offer group classes and 1-2-1 private classes tailored to your needs and your levels.
What my classes involve?
My teachings is based on the four principles of Ashtanga Yoga (Yoga with eight limbs): Asana (posture), Pranayama (breath control), Drishti (gaze) or Dharana (concentration) or Dhyana (meditation).
For beginners, I might introduce slow and mild Puraka (inhalation) and Rechaka (exhalation) without straining beyond their capacity.
Yoga Sutra, which is not the only source of knowledge of Yoga, but it is an important and significant one, stated that Raja Yoga is an exact science which aims at controlling all thought-waves or mental modifications (vrittis) towards purification and control.
Yoga teaches discipline, self-control and content (santosha) and this is what I aim to bring to my students from philosophy to practice.
