Focus and Feel: A Yoga and Yoganidrā practice
with Khadine Morcom
Join Khadine for a luxurious 90 minute class to really let go of the week and enter into the weekend feeling relaxed, replenished and yoga'd! Khadine will take you through a slow but quietly strong class of yoga āsana (posture) with explorative and intuitive movement followed by some prāṇāyāma (breathwork) and yoganidrā (yogic sleep - basically a verbally guided, reclined meditative practice - pretty perfect for a Friday night!). You can expect to leave feeling like a new person! Khadine’s teaching style is very calming, supportive and focused, encouraging full release combined with full engagement, with a strong emphasis on the breath. Energy and intuition are at the heart of her teaching. Khadine has been practicing yoga since the mid 90s, teaching since 2004 and training teachers since 2014. She has a masters degree in yoga and meditation traditions from SOAS University and she also delivers yoganidra teacher training and runs a year long immersion in tantric meditation practices via the medium of the wisdom goddesses of the śakta tantra traditions of South Asia.
