What is Sādhanā ?

Sādhanā literally “a means of accomplishing something”, it is a sanskrit word that invokes the energy of dedication, transformation, discipline and wisdom for a higher purpose. Sādhanā is also referred to as spiritual* practice. ( * please note this is not a religious practice, spiritual refers to belonging to the spirit/ the soul). Anything that is practiced with awareness, discipline and the intention of spiritual growth can be considered as sadhana. Sadhana requires the quality of self-discipline and is traditionally practiced alone.

“With regular daily practice, the practitioner continually realigns his or her inner self, slowly progressing toward the very ultimate expression of consciousness known as samadhi.” Yogapedia

This unique Yoga class offers in depth practices that you don’t usually experience in casual mainstream Yoga classes.

This class offers the practice of :

• Hatha Yoga Asanas ( yoga postures) taught in a classical style.
• Pranayama ( specific breathing practices).
• Mudras ( hand gestures that connect with meridians).
• Bandhas ( energy locks).
• Yoga Nidra ( guided relaxation).
• Mantras ( Sanskrit words) and chanting.
• Meditation

About digestion and the nervous System

The ancient Yogis already knew about the connection between the guts, the brain and the nervous system, and a lot of the yogic practices ( asana, pranayma, meditation etc) are designed for digestive health. Ayurveda emphasises the importance of good Agni – the digestive fire – as the essential key to great health.

Modern science is now acknowledging the connection between the guts, the brain and the nervous system.

“The sympathetic nervous system triggers the “fight or flight” response. The parasympathetic nervous system calms the body down after the danger has passed. Both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems interact with another, less well-known component of the autonomic nervous system — the enteric nervous system, which helps regulate digestion.

The enteric nervous system is sometimes referred to as a “second brain” because it relies on the same types of neurons and neurotransmitters that are found in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).” From Harvard Medical School

The practices  we use are specifically designed to re-harmonize the nervous system and strengthen digestion.

For over seven years I have been attending Nandini’s Sadhana class, initially in person and now online.  Every week I look forward to Nandini’s gentle and thoughtful practice which allows me to reset, take care of my body and soul, and develop a sound understanding of all limbs of yoga.  The online classes have been as welcoming and inclusive as in person.  Nandini has a way of bringing the group together as a whole as if we were all in the one room.  Thank you Nandini for nurturing us through these times.

My name is Nandini, I started Yoga when I was 14 in my home land Tahiti. I was asked to teach yoga by an Indian Yoga Master Shri Mahesh when I was 19. I have been passionate about practicing and teaching Yoga up till now.. some 21 years later. I am dedicated, versatile and creative in my approach. My intention is to bring you to a place of deep connectedness and ease as you explore your own unique Yoga journey so that you can feel amazing and thrive. I also have a passion for all that is sacred and for Feminine Awakening (feel free to explore my website for more).

I have trained with highly regarded teachers like Donna Farhi, Kieran O’Callaghan, Chameli Ardagh, Lisa Shrader. I have also been exposed to practices and wisdom from many traditions and teachers like Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Ramana Maharishi, Mata Amritanandamayi , Ananda Mayi Ma , Yengar, Shivananda, Satyananda, Yogananda and many others.

This class is open to both Men and Women, every Thursday at 6.15 pm.

What students say…

I have stopped searching and then again I was looking for where my heart and soul would feel comfort, this way I could journey in my truth..

The Sadhana course was appearing and I made a decision to be part of the class whole heartedly. I have now completed 2 and going back as it has been home away from home, we all need a place to connect and feel our freedom to walk gently on our journey…
I must say with Nandini facilitating and being there at each moment for us as a group found myself where there was no judgement only guidance and heart love as this was expressed, I was overwhelmed at times as my calling became clear.
Nandini holds the class in pure integrity with kindness as she gently and firmly touches our journey so we may be who we truly are, there was also laughter..
I recommend this journey as it only comes to us mostly when we are called.. so if you are contemplating just do it as you will find your answers and your regrets will disappear…
