Our Friday Alternative Night Out series is your invitation to wind down the week in a way that feels positive — not just in the moment, but in a way that will set you up to make the most of your weekend.
Each Friday offers something a little different: from grounding breathwork and soulful women’s circles, to yoga for men, sound journeys, somatic movement, and deeply restorative sessions combining meditation, breathwork, yoga nidra, and Reiki.
Think of it as a reset with the focus on YOU.
Instead of noise, you’ll find quiet.
Instead of small talk, meaningful connection.
Instead of draining your energy, you’ll fill your cup.
There’s usually time to share tea, snacks, and conversation — or just be.
Come as you are. Leave nourished and more connected to self and others.
the yin & meditation session | Exploring the silence and Sitting with Discomfort
This evening is dedicated to self-awareness, emotional regulation, and compassionate self-care. You’ll be guided to explore what lies beneath the surface — the sensations, emotions, and thoughts that often go unnoticed or unspoken — and to meet them with openness and kindness.
Saori Funawatari | Friday 23 January | 7:00 – 8:30 PM | £22
We’ll begin with grounding Yin postures to soften tension and open the body, creating space for presence and awareness. From there, we’ll transition into guided meditation and reflective self-inquiry – learning to sit with whatever arises, rather than turning away or numbing.
Through breath, stillness and compassionate awareness, we’ll explore:
* how to stay present with discomfort and emotional triggers
* ways to ground and feel safe in your body
* the art of setting loving, respectful boundaries with self and others
* cultivating unconditional positive regard and self-compassion
This is an invitation to meet yourself exactly where you are – tenderly, curiously, and without judgement.
No prior experience is needed; come as you are.
A quiet space. A deep breath. A moment of truth.
