Workshops

Discover the transformative power of *pranayama*—the ancient art of yogic breathing. In this immersive workshop, you’ll learn the essential techniques to build a strong foundation for both your pranayama and overall yoga practice, taking your journey to the next level. 

We’ll explore: 

✔ *The theory & benefits* of pranayama—how it enhances physical vitality, mental clarity, and energetic balance 

✔ *Key foundational techniques*, practiced deeply and correctly for maximum effect 

✔ *Contraindications & mindful application* to ensure safe, sustainable practice 

Rather than rushing through many techniques, we’ll focus on a *few powerful practices, giving you the time and space to experience their profound effects. This approach helps you cultivate a **consistent, impactful practice*—one that supports your body, mind, and spirit long after the workshop ends. 

Whether you’re new to pranayama or looking to refine your practice, this workshop will equip you with the tools to *breathe with intention, awareness, and transformative power.*

Full Moon Circle with Claire & Jayne

Together, we’ll connect and harness the energy of the Full Moon.

The September Full Moon, known as the Corn Moon will rise in the sign of Pisces. 

This year, it also coincides with a lunar eclipse, making it a particularly potent time for reflection and release, especially related to emotions, intuition, and spiritual matters

At Deva, we believe in the healing power of coming together. In a world that often pulls us apart, our Full Moon Circles offer a space to reconnect, to support, to share and to be seen in our wholeness. When we gather in community, we remember that we are not alone. We draw strength from our shared presence and the supportive energy we create together.

We’ll begin our evening with a heart-opening cup of cacao, a gentle ritual to ground and set our intentions.

Through guided meditation, mindfulness, and visualisation practices, we’ll explore how to align more fully with our authentic selves, and how to release beliefs, patterns, or connections that have simply become habitual. We’ll also tune into Aquarius’ call to think beyond the individual and consider how we can contribute to something greater.

With time for reflection and sharing, we’ll draw from the airy, expansive energy of Aquarius to invite in clarity, confidence, and creative connection.

This is more than just a circle—it’s a community. A place to show up as you are, to be seen and supported, and to remember the strength found in togetherness.

Whether you're seeking peace, inspiration, or simply a moment to reconnect, our Together Full Moon Circle offers a space to feel nourished, valued, and renewed.

Come as you are—and leave feeling lighter, clearer, and deeply connected.

📚 The Chislehurst Book Club
Hosted by Joelle’s & Deva Yoga

Our beloved Chislehurst Book Club has been bringing book lovers together for the past few years—and we’re so excited to continue sharing this regular monthly gathering with you.

Each month, we meet in the intimate and cosy setting of Joelle’s, where conversation flows as easily as the tea (or wine!). It’s a relaxed, welcoming space to dive into great stories, share personal insights, and connect with others who love a good book and a good chat.

Each gathering includes:
📖 A friendly discussion around our chosen book
🍷 A hot drink or glass of wine (maybe two 😉)
🍰 A sweet treat to enjoy together
🤝 The chance to connect with new and familiar faces through a shared love of reading

Whether you’ve been coming for years or are joining us for the first time, you’ll be warmly welcomed. It’s a lovely way to unwind, reflect, and enjoy inspiring conversations with like-minded people.

Spaces are limited, so be sure to book your place—and don’t forget to read the book before we meet!

✨ Deep Rest & Sound Immersion Workshop with Jayne & Monika
A sanctuary for stillness, healing, and coming home to yourself.

This workshop is for anyone seeking the ultimate experience in deep rest, relaxation, and nervous system reset.

Through the gentle practice of Restorative Yoga, Jayne will lovingly guide you into supportive poses designed to calm the body and quiet the mind. Each posture invites you to let go—of tension, of swirling emotions, of the constant pull of thought—and simply be. As the body softens into stillness, a deeper awareness begins to arise, returning you to the only moment that truly matters: this one.

Stillness creates awareness. Awareness brings us home. And in that space, we can breathe again.

As you settle into this restful state, you’ll be immersed in the healing vibrations of sound therapy with Monika. The soothing resonance of gongs, sound bowls, and other sacred instruments will gently wash over you, dissolving any lingering tension and helping to release what no longer serves.

This is the perfect way to end your week:
Grounded. Rested. Renewed.

All are welcome. No experience needed—just come as you are.
Allow yourself this time to soften, restore, and reconnect with the peace that lives within you.

This workshop isn't just about holding a pose, it’s about holding your centre - finding moments of stillness even in challenge.

Strength isn’t just about how much effort we give, it’s also about how steady & calm we can remain within it.

In this workshop, we’ll explore how to hold strong, focused shapes while staying deeply connected to the breath and calm in the mind. Through Ujjayi pranayama, subtle bandha engagement, and intentionally paced movement, you’ll discover how stillness can live at the centre of strength.
What to Expect:
✨ A strong, breath-led flow with long holds and mindful transitions
✨ Ujjayi pranayama to anchor your awareness
✨ Gentle exploration of bandhas for inner stability
✨ A touch of Daoist philosophy
This session is ideal for anyone wanting to build strength while deepening their relationship with stillness, both on the mat and in life. 

Join this two hour workshop where Leigh will use her years of knowledge and experience to show you how strength and stillness are perfect partners and right here at our finger tips! 

Get ready to take flight! In this uplifting workshop, Fatma will break down the foundations and techniques for a range of playful yet powerful arm balances—crow, side crow, flying crow, koundinyasana, tittibasana, flying pigeon, and more. You’ll learn how to engage strength, find stability, and tap into lightness whilst exploring step-by-step progressions that meet you exactly where you are.

Be prepared to build heat, challenge the body, and awaken your inner courage—then melt into deep relaxation as you bathe in the healing frequencies of the crystal alchemy bowls, leaving you grounded, spacious, and blissfully calm

Shift your perspective! In this energising workshop, we’ll explore the art of going upside down with a range of inversions for all levels. From the familiar foundations of downward dog, dolphin, and crow, to shoulder stand, headstand variations, pincha mayurasana, and handstands, you’ll learn how to build strength, stability, and confidence while staying playful.

We’ll move through step-by-step progressions, finding balance in the air and focus in the mind—then drift into deep stillness with a crystal bowl sound bath, leaving you feeling calm, centred, and recharged. Come ready to explore your edges and see the world from a whole new angle.
