Yogabliss to Live Music with Kanwal Ahluwalia

Hatha yoga set to live esraj - where breath meets raga. A 60-minute Hatha yoga class accompanied by the warm, bowed tones of the esraj, played live by Kirpal Panesar. The live raga gives your breathing a natural rhythm, and the music responds to the room as the class unfolds - something no playlist can replicate. Kanwal Ahluwalia's teaching is built on slow flows, deep stretches, and strong holds designed to build strength and stability, with an emphasis on breath awareness throughout. Her style is warm, intuitive, and clear — she encourages you to move beyond the physical postures and into the philosophy that underlies the practice. Kanwal came to yoga as a way of staying grounded while working in women's rights and social justice, and has since trained in both Hatha and Yin styles alongside a long-standing meditation practice. You don't need to be fit or flexible - just willing to trust the process. Expect to leave feeling more connected to your body and more present in the world. Please arrive 15 minutes before start of session. Doors open at 10.15. There will be no admission 5 mins after the session has started. An open class for all levels. Unsuitable if pregnant. Yoga mats provided, but you are welcome to bring your own. Avoid eating a heavy meal before class. Wear comfortable clothes you can move in and bring your own bottle of water. Participants take full responsibility for their own health; if in doubt seek the advice of your doctor.
