Morning Yoga with Sundeep Sitara

Yoga connects each of us with our body, breath and the land on which we practice. Which is why, as a HOPE Sussex home educator, I am very excited to explore and share yoga with you on this deeply sacred land. 

I have thirty-five years experience in yoga, across a number of disciplines, having fallen in love with it in India where my ancestral roots are and where I have lived for a number of years. 

My current practice has evolved and grown out of this land, on the south coast of East Sussex, where I now live. 

During our morning yoga sessions at the festival (bearing in mind that we will have been partying the night before!) we will go on a deep journey using our breath, gravity and the wave of our bodies. Awakening the spine and tapping into the powerful energy which emanates from within us. 

Ultimately, we will ground and centre ourselves in readiness for further connection and joy over the weekend and beyond. Intuitively listening to our bodies so that we feel empowered, uplifted, awake and alive.

You do not need to have tried yoga before or wrap your legs around your neck. That is not the point of it at all. Instead, yoga is about being present with your body and open to your own uniquely magical gifts. 

Awakening our body can be powerful, surprising, energizing and healing. It is also incredibly playful and imaginative. Yoga has no limits. 

There will be some yoga mats available, but if you can bring your own it would be very helpful, thank you.

I look forward to meeting you and sharing this wonderful vibe.

Systemic Constellation workshop, facilitated by Emma Starck

This technique consists of representing people; this helps to make visible things that are usually invisible or unconscious. From looking at our lives in the context of the systems that we belong to and observing the invisible forces we can feel more connected to ourselves and step into our life more fully.

Bert Hellinger is cited as one of the founders of this method, although he says he learnt a lot of his methodology from the Zulu tribes of South Africa. He was also a priest and a psychotherapist.

“They are a sacred map, an order. If I become disordered, there is no future there, there is no space for dreams there. But why do I become disordered? I become disordered because of blind love, a love without order. Then systemic constellations are a place to find myself again……I can recover myself and give back to myself the joy of living “Bert Hellinger, November 2017

Emma Starck is a qualified physics teacher (PGCE) and a UKCP Psychotherapist
