Summer Solstice Celebration Cacao Ceremony 14th June 2024

Join Emma at Yogaspace Yorkshire on Friday 14th June 2024 to honour the midpoint vibrational energy of our yogic year. Summer solstice is when the sun is at its highest, lightest and longest power and the sun is our human battery.

Sarah Woodhouse from The Wash House Northumberland yoga studio will lead the cacao ceremony itself.

Emma and Sarah are qualified Kundalini yoga teachers with KRI schools of training and offer authentic Kundalini yoga practise with integrity to the teachings – between them they have 15 years of Kundalini yoga experience.

Cacao is an ancient plant that allows us to relax and access realms of higher consciousness – or merely to experience a kind, calm way of being. The experience is usually unique and supportive for health and healing, but no promises made.

Sarah’s homemade cacao is made from highest ceremonial grade shamanic cacao. We also enjoy some gentle movement and a music soundscape.
Afterwards, we have a cuppa and chat, and you are invited to bring your a contribution to our sharing tea picnic in the walled garden.
We will make the cacao from Almond milk. Please advise us if you have a nut allergy before buying a ticket so we can consider options.

Pop Up Session, Friday 20th September – 2024 – the cusp of the Autumn Equinox. Find your Balance through your personal Sankalpa.

6.30-7.30pm

Yoga Nidra working with your Sankalpa in the first part of the class, followed by powerful gong to seal your private intention at a cellular level into your body glove. You sink into an effortless awareness, a half-state between awake and sleep – allowing your subconscious to believe your Sankalpa statement. If you fall asleep, so be it, your mind is receiving the empowering message of the Nidra.

‘It is said, that a Sankalpa statement, said with conviction, cannot help but come true/manifest.’

The studio is ‘low-lit’ – sacred, silent, apart from the use of voice and gong.

Yoga Nidra is a form of yogic sleep – there is no active yoga, we surrender to the sound of a voice guiding you, followed by the gong(s).

You must be able to lie down for an hour, YSY provide mats, props, sheepskin, eye pillow, but if you wish to bring a pillow/cushion or similar and your own eye pillow, your own shawl/blanket, please do, to add to ours.

Please do not attend if you are pregnant – the gong waves are not suitable for anyone pregnant.

Class ticket £15.00

Please choose the date 20th September on Gymcatch booking system – the link is in the website header – or you can use this link to go straight to Gymcatch and find the date on the calendar and book.

Healing through Planetary Gongs

Friday 18th October 2024 6.30-7.30pm £16.00

Join Emma for a sublime gong bath (mainly two planetary gongs supported by some other sound instruments).
There will be a short yoga nidra with Sankalpa before the gongs. You will be guided through, this is not active yoga, it is yogic sleep in preparation to receive the gongs.

Wear comfy clothes, come as you are!
We provide our usual comfort props but if you have a special eye pillow ( we don’t provide these for hygiene reasons) and head/neck pillow/cosy blanket etc, you are invited to bring these.

Yoga gongs are different to sound bath gongs. They are powerful, vibrational and induce delta and theta brain waves allowing us to deeply and completely relax.
Emma plays her gongs energetically and through interroception. It is said that “you can do nothing but submit the sound of the Gong (=God) after 7 minutes.”
Come for a Friday sound experience that will reboot your human software cells. Let the gong sound allow the week that has passed to peel away. Enter your weekend lighter and softer as the body fasciae releases its stored ‘issues in the tissues’ and reveals a brighter you.

For the comfort of all those attending, we appreciate it if you would come well to this session as coughs, colds, flu etc are disturbing.
Emma does not accept anyone pregnant on her sound sessions due to the powerful volume and energetic vibrations.

Saturday 11th January 2025 @YogaSpace Yorkshire near Bedale, North Yorkshire

We enter a fresh 365 days from New Year’s Day, design your year with us

Shape Your Personal Vision For 2025 Retreat Day At YogaSpace Yorkshire

Being is Becoming.

Saturday 11th January 2025 @YogaSpace Yorkshire near Bedale, North Yorkshire
Arrive from 9.30am, first session 10am – event ends 5pm

When we enter a fresh 365 days at New Year we enter a space and time of opportunity.
How rewarding could life be? To reach the end of December 2025 having the whole experience of those twelve months  ‘being into becoming.’

New Year is an interesting time, a liminal space where we can be present with ourselves after the Festive period. We crawl inside ourselves using the dark (womb-like) energy of early January’s short days and rebirth ourselves towards the lighter longer days that arrive from the Equinox. The perfect time for an exploration into ‘being is becoming.’

This workshop might allow you time to ask how comfortable you are with your current life and engage with tools and modalities that allow you to become a driver of your life. Might you dare to take agency for yourself, behind a steering wheel of your own directions? Make 2025 the year of 365 days where you explore with courage, the route of your heart’s desire, no longer a passenger allowing life ‘to come at you.’

This one-day retreat will be a time for workshopping the idea of change; we are living beings made of energy, our cells are constantly evolving in our physical body. What we do today we become tomorrow in our body, our physical actions, even what we eat. Equally  important is how we live in our own mind.

This workshop retreat day will be led by Emma Ropner and Lorna Garrity.

Emma is an experienced mature Kundalini yoga teacher specialising in philosophical and empowering yoga classes sharing esoteric teachings through yoga series that nourish and nurture you. She explores numbers from a spiritual perspective, alongside working with various meditations, breath work, chants and gong sound.

Lorna is a (Tony) Robbins-Madanes trained coach with 15 years experience in the corporate transformation area.  She now guides clients towards their power to thrive, closing the gap between where they are, and where they want to be. Lorna is also an author, and a speaker at events.

Emma and Lorna will weave a day-retreat itinerary allowing you to consider and shape a personal vision for 2025 and reflect on your 2025 realistic goal priorities

You can expect

Transformational Yoga session: A powerful but accessible for all, energy-moving yoga session with breath work followed by a gong relaxation. Ancient yogic teachings say that the pranic energy created at the navel is infinitely superior to the pranic energy we collect at the mind/intellect.

Directional Tools and Modalities: for eg: Goal Priorities with Lorna

Significance of Numbers: Exploring 2025 guidance for mind body and spirit through this year’s numbers 2-0-2-5 with Emma

An exploration into Feminine Archetypes: with Lorna

We will also work with Fire.

The day includes a light lunch and all refreshments.

Parking is on-site. We can provide yoga mats.

After booking the schedule will be sent two weeks before the retreat date on 11th January 2025

Full Price: £145 after 11.59 on 30th November 2024

Early Bird: £130 up until 11.59 30 November 2024 thereafter full price.

Places strictly limited to a small group due to the powerful work of the day.

‘Mourning morning’ yoga and Satsang

This workshop will honour transitions and threshold times we cross as messy divine humans.

This workshop will honour transitions and threshold times we cross as messy divine humans. 8th March 2025.
Join me for a Mourning Morning – Moving on and Upwards and Onwards!
What do you associate with the word mourning?

Traditionally we mourn those that have left their earth journey and we miss them.
However this word can have great pertinence – be about engagement with rituals and reflections – in a beautiful manner rather than a sombre sad way.

Mourning for you, might also be something, someone, some place, some experience that is dead to you but lingers like an entity or shadow over your energetic being. The workshop is will be embodied, have yoga and movement, for often our body screams for – knows that we are truly beyond that time phase or experience in our life.

I see mourning as transition time and I’ll be exploring how self-reflexive mourning whilst in community practice allows you to be the new change you want to be.

We may be honouring a departure from – either complete or imminent – of a loved one – an animal – a physical place – a work period, emotional years of change in our lives ( eg maiden to mother – mother to crone) – the separation from a kong-term relationship- our children growing up and moving on or out. Even, the loss of the sense of your ‘self.’ (Longer read below)

The ‘mourning’ morning yoga and Satsang workshop will focus on release. Releasing the issues from our tissues.

We might use this workshop time to process an experience in our lives touching our core so deeply that we must mark it with ritual practice. Rituals are how humans have managed the sacredness of our Earth experience. Rituals allow us to make meaning of the complexity of life. We will use ritual combined with embodiment work. The body must not be allowed to be second to the mind. The body is also the mind.

The session will include yoga.

Whatever you feel the need to honour with me in ritual practice – bring this intention to the yoga mat altar. You may keep it private – you may wish to be supported by the collective humanity gathered in the room and share it. The choice is yours.

The Satsang gathering will follow the yoga experience. Satsangs are sacred and healing.

This morning is for you if you wish to be nourished cherished and nurtured.

Perhaps we might reflect on the following.

It’s not always the survival of the fittest. It’s also the survival of the nourished.

9.30 gather for refreshments. Ends at 1pm
£39.00pp
Book online via the website timetable/gymcatch app. Choose the date 8th March on the calendar to be taken to the booking page.

Please email me if you are new to YSY and me and my classes. Share with me who you are and any yogic experience. None is also fine
