KundAlini Yoga at Coed: "Winter Solstice" workshop

Deep dive into the incredible KundAlini white tantra meditations, to connect to ancestors, reset your entire system and find your "Sat Nam" WELCOME! I am delighted to be offering a kundalini yoga immersion especailly for "WINTER SOLSTICE 2026" followed by an integrating Sound bath, in the beautiful temple-like barn at Coed Hills Rural Arts Centre, nestled in ancient and magical woodland, just 8 miles west of Cardiff on the outskirts of the village of St Hilary, near Cowbridge. Thursday 17th December 2026: "A Winter Solstice Gathering" - a kundalini yoga immersion of kirtana nd meditation with Ali to deep dive into the powerful active meditations to connect with your ancestors, your spirit guides and your "Sat Nam" (true self), and emerge anew, as we raise our collective consciousness, and play our part in the ripple effect of what lies ahead. WHAT TO EXPECT: You will be guided though 2 very specific and powerful meditations from this ancient tradition, honouring and connecting with those who came before us, those yet to come, and the essence of who we are at our soul level. We will begin with a "kirtan" - live music mantra meditation, set our intentions, and then journey through 2 x 31 minute meditations, with a break for tea and healthy light snacks inbetween. The immersion will close with a DEEP WAVE Gong Sound Bath. GUIDELINES: we are working with light energy, so the effects are most profound and long-lasting if you do the following: • Wear WHITE or light coloured clothing • Wear a WHITE or light coloured head covering: a scarf, beanie, hoodie that covers your crown chakra - this is important to contain the energy being generated and maintain focus. • Approach the practise with reverence and respect • Do your best on the day, and trust that it will be the most potent if your intention is pure and open-hearted. PLEASE NOTE: • Open to everyone over 16yrs old • You can sit in a chair or on a floor mattress/yoga mat (your choice) • Snacks and vegan refreshments provided- welcome to bring your own if you have particular dietary requirements • Bring a sealable bottle of water/flask • Blankets and bolsters will support you to maintain your focus so bring with you all that you need to be as comfortable as possible. ------------------------------------------------- About Ali: Guided by a passion to leave the world a little bit better than before I arrived, I think of myself as an eternal student, and an eternal teacher. Learning and sharing in equal measure, in whatever way (or ways) that I can throughout my life. Whatever makes my hearts flicker, sparkle and light up is always my guiding light. ------------------------------------------ About these Workshops: These worshops involve a special kundalini yoga sequence of movements, breath-work, mantra, meditation, mudra, balances, stretches, dancing, shaking and general merriment to awaken your life-force energy and focus on deepening your awareness of your inner spirit and inner guidance, by observing your emotions, feelings and thought patterns. They are intended to strengthen, uplift and support you in finding (and lighting) the spark inside you, tending to this flame, and directing this beautiful creative energy in the direction of your hopes and dreams. The kundalini yoga and meditations in these workshops are intended to help you to deeply tune in to yourself, feel all you need to feel, move through these feelings as slow or fast as you need to, then let go of what you know you need to, and walk your walk, talk your talk and blossom into the incredible being that you are here to be right now. ------------------------------------------------- About Kundalini Yoga: We will gather side by side to practise a special kundalini yoga meditation to awaken your life-force energy and deepen your awareness of your inner and outer spirit guidance, by observing your emotions, feelings, visions and thought patterns and staygin anchored in the breath or/and the mantra. Simply meet the practise where you are in the moment and absorb the energy of the group vibration, as we raise our frequency and tune in to our higher selves for guidance and wisdom during these transformational times. Do as little or as much as you feel, listen to your body and rest when you need to, or do things more intensly if you feel to. Kundalini is symbolised by a serpent, an omen of immense transformation, of evolution - moving all of humanity into a frequency more truly aligned with our unique soul purpose, this is a potent time to birth a new evolution as we move through a turbulent and potentially life-changing, life-affirming 2026 . ------------------------------------------------- About the Gong Sound Bath: The yoga immersion will be followed by deep relaxation with gongs, Tibetan Singing bowls and Bamboo chimes. You simply lay down on your yoga mat, make yourself comfortable and cosy with cushions and blankets, close your eyes, and give yourself permission to relax and absorb and integrate the energy of the session. ------------------------------------------------- NOTE: Suitable for all soul brothers and sisters 16yrs and over No experience is necessary, beginners very welcome to this immersion.
