Prana House Wellness Festival - Celebrating 20 Years

As part of Prana House's 20 Year Wellness Festival, our practitioners are offering a diverse range of workshops designed to inspire, educate and support your wellbeing. Whether you are looking to deepen your understanding of a particular topic, learn practical tools to support your health, or experience a new modality in a welcoming group environment, these special workshops offer the perfect opportunity. Led by our experienced practitioners, each workshop provides a chance to connect with new ideas, gain valuable insights, and discover the practitioners and approaches that resonate with you and may become an ongoing part of your wellness journey.

On the yogic path, emotions can either bind us or become a doorway for liberation.
Emotions are not obstacles to overcome, but powerful doorways into self-recognition and a deeper opening to our essential nature.

When emotions are met unconsciously, rejected or suppressed, they give rise to emotional reactivity, creating saṃskāras (latent impressions) and vāsanās (deep seated tendencies) that obscure our essence.

In this workshop we will explore the non-dual Tantrik Yoga understanding of emotions, and subtle energy body, sacred mantras, deity yoga and contemplative practices that will support you enter emotions with awareness, transforming their contracted energy into vitality and liberated wisdom.

Please note:
This workshop is designed for people who already have some understanding of their inner emotional world and a foundation in yoga practice. The content and practices are rooted in the spiritual tradition of yoga. We explore emotions through a yogic lens, integrating philosophy, contemplative inquiry, and spiritual practice, which is an essential part of both the learning and the personal transformation this workshop offers. The practices or discussions may bring up personal feelings or memories. If this happens, participants are expected to be able to recognize and care for their own emotional needs. If you are currently seeking support for unresolved trauma or significant emotional distress, I encourage you to do so in a trauma-informed therapeutic setting.
