Classes on demand
These yoga classes are the perfect blend of fluid and grounded, empowering and liberating. Infused with inspired philosophy and soul-centred themes, let these classes take you on a journey of rhythmic movement, breath awareness, and flow-state meditation. There are three levels of dynamism depending on what you need in each moment, from Gentle & Juicy to more Igniting Flows to Sequences with Extra Spice. In joy!
BODY POETRY VINYASA
SOUND JOURNEYs
Sessions for you to rest and receive the potent power of sound in its capacity to open, feel and heal. Facilitated by Benny, these classes vary from deeply restorative sonic baths to drift you into dreamland, to deep and transcendental musical trips into the secret spaces of your soul. The sessions are recorded live and all music and voice embedded in the moment of spontaneity.
SOMATICS & dance
Free movement medicine! These dynamic meditation practices and sensitised somatic journeys are guided practices anchored by simple cues, powerful intention and evocative music to let you MOVE what you FEEL as a portal to unlocking who you truly are… Let yourself drop beneath the analytical mind to see what your soul wants to say through your unique embodied improvisation. From slow and sensual to full-throttle ecstatic and cathartic movement. Is it the answer!
BODY POETRY YIN
Slow down and open up in these deep yin steeps. Classes designed as a holding space for you to descend down into the body to meet yourself and explore the full array of sensory and emotional symptoms that can arise - the sublime as well as the ugly - in order to savour the full human experience: body, mind and spirit, alive, open and integrated. Each yin class is a juicy and attuned full body meditation
ART THERAPY
A series of sessions dropping you into creative inquiry and self reflection. Through guided meditations and deep sensing journeys, you are then invited to externalise and express your inner world through colour, texture, line and tone. Journal prompts and amplification questions then help you to unpack the meaning and symbolic healing available to us when we take the time to really receive from the depths of who we are.
meditation & breath
Seated (or lying) meditation practices for you to come as you are and authentically meet yourself in the moment. Infused with non-dual Tantric philosophy and transpersonal depth psychology, these compassionately guided sessions are doorways inside a self-holding space for all sensations and emotions to be welcome. Opportunities for you to metabolise the rich textures and energies of your life through somatically attuned body-based meditations and breathing exercises. Prescription is one of these per day until forever, amen.

Benny holloway
For almost a decade Benny has been playing music within the soul ceremonial space, weaving sounds to support sacred practices and ritualistic offerings.
Benny’s music is completely intuitively created, deeply inspired by cross-cultured ethnomusicology, having lived in and around India for many years, the prayer calls from mosques that flood the city, the music within ashrams, the street performances have soaked into his subconscious and only when it comes time to creating and playing music do those influences play themselves out through his melodic interpretation.
Benny’s music has been referred to as “medicinal”. It is often shared that his music is used throughout the sacred processes of giving birth, making love or transcending through yoga, meditation or dance.
Benny has also been a Sound Therapist for nearly 15 years, working with a very special and rare instrument ‘The Soundbed’ - a large acoustic bed with strings underneath, played to create a deeply therapeutic sound and vibrational healing transmission.
