– WITH EMMA PALMER
As we prepare to enter a new year, we step forward not as the person who began 2024 but as someone transformed by the culmination of our experiences over the last twelve months. We are called to draw from the wisdom gained, assimilate this into a deeper sense of self and reattune with our True North so we may embark upon this next chapter with a clearer, more aligned vision of what lies ahead.
In many ways it has been a year marked by both collective chaos and divine blessings that have spoken profoundly to the paradoxes of life, the coexistence of extremes and the tension between polarities. The yogic teachings recognise the challenges and beauty of navigating these opposites inherent to the dualistic world, with Tapas being the inner heat generated when we engage with conflicting forces such as desire and restraint, or comfort and discomfort.
When we attune to our True North, Tapas becomes a holding ground for this tension from which a deeper understanding, creative awareness and personal growth can emerge. In this space, even the once disruptive energies of chaos can instead become a guide, encouraging us to realign with our purpose and step forth onto our authentic path.
“In the wilderness of life, your True North is the unwavering pull of your heart toward what is real and meaningful.” – Mark Nepo
Our New Year’s Day Immersion with Emma Palmer invites us to consciously connect with our own True North and be present to a guidance that transcends the clouds of inner and external noise, allowing us to effectively honour the lessons of the past year and plant seeds of clear purpose for what is to come.
Gathered in the sacred space of the Śāla, we will open this first day of the new year with chanting of mantra to welcome in the full potentiality of the infinite, before awakening the purity of heart intelligence with our morning Prāṇāyāma practices. We’ll then introduce the movement of gentle Āsana to further stimulate the flow of prāṇa through the sacred rivers of the Nāḍīs, before meditation, reflection and a long guided Śavāsana invite us deeper into an expanded and more profound state of awareness. Throughout the practices, the golden threads of yogic and tantric philosophies are poetically woven to gently guide the inner compass towards your own True North, empowering you to embrace the months ahead from a space of clarity, courage and faith.
Open to everyone and suitable for all levels. Spaces are limited so book your place now to welcome in the New Year with us.
