Upcoming Events

Offering an inclusive space at lost village festival, is definitely one my highlights of the year! Festivals are a place to explore, be open, and to experience new things, with the energy garden being the place to be! A place with practitioners from across the country share their gifts as we collectively celebrate wellness!

I have the honour of closing the soundcave this year with 3 sessions at 3pm and 4pm, with an experience involving gongs, himalayan bowls and other instruments, to create pocket of calm to distress on a Sunday…

Come see me… @lostvillagefestival

July…

South asian heritage month celebration. A proud moment with many folk stepping onto the mat for the first time.. @fabricstudiosbhx

Bit wild that this was only my second ever formal photoshoot in my career. (That’s a thing itself and a story for another day.). It was a calming experience and a pleasure to have my new set of pictures shot at BMAG afterhours by @irinamackie

My first photoshoot was with @simoncrispmedia in the covid era. I had a great week working on the project, using a screenless camera to document a week teaching yoga, offering sound and attending classes across Birmingham

My third year delivering on @hotyoganottingham teacher training. 1st module of 2 for this year. Ayurveda.

Love it when my pals come to my sessions. Even more when they are a wellness practitioner to feel nourished and to receive. @ease.therapies

Cannon hill yoga classes going strong with the best.

Weekly yoga classes began in Warley Woods.
Lovely morning, moving, connecting and making friends with @studioalign.uk

Do you even @loopstudios_jq if you don’t have this picture?

Matcha, Jude and the community

Saturdays in Kings Heath sponsored by @graftpilates

Making sense of it all with @jnana.world

Spent 2 hours chatting to strangers to celebrate week one of @kaurcoffee

Thoughtful and patient service by @thenewphotoco to get two posters sat for over 10 years, framed. Highly recommended.

Shout out @pausebirmingham for looking after me with the GF oat iced lattes.

As we come to the end of @southasianheritagemonth_uk , it’s a time to reflect on our recent celebration held at @fabricstudiosbhx

It’s a month where all people from South Asia are celebrated for their richness and contributions to the UK and beyond. This year’s theme of “Unity in Diversity” is a reminder to learn and embrace our respective culture, and being united through our backgrounds..

This was a morning attended by our friends, family and community to enjoy a traditional yoga practice with roots in India with many people stepping onto the mat for the first time. Followed by homemade chai and food from across South Asia.

We shared stories, connected and laughed over a relaxed Sunday morning, as we raised money for @saheli_hub

It was a honour and dream to hold a space like this for the people, and a joy to collaborate with a fellow South Asian business @fabricstudiosbhx on a successful event..

Massive thanks to you all!

The brilliant @joelycett and @birmingham_mag have come together to create EVERY THING MUST GO which opens from today until 21st Feb 2027. I was honoured to be invited to the preview night and to be one of the first people to view the exhibition.

It is a space filled with joy, light and reflection. As you view each piece, you will laugh, remember those we have lost and reminisce about the past. I imagine parents with their kids educating them about the old days and strangers sparking conversations about what they enjoyed in bygone eras. I found myself changing my mind as I walked round, to what my favourite piece was, as sure it will be the same for you!

Thanks to @theprivatepress for teaching us how to screen print, to take away a memento of the evening! Looking forward to coming to a future session to learn more! Very appropriate to have Hypnotize by Biggie playing in the background!

Very proud of you mummy! Know how hard you have worked over the last 12 months. Time to put your feet up and let everyone tell you how awesome the exhibition is!

I am delighted to share a little teaser that I will be hosting 2 sessions in the neon graveyard which will be extremely limited capacity… 1 is soon.. More details from me next month… however if you know where to look, you might be able to find it..
I

June

One of the things I am guilty of is not stopping, pausing, reflecting and celebrating my own and the collective’s achievements! I’m trying to get better at that, There seems like so little time when I have so many ideas and offerings I wish to create for you all…!

June was an incredible month and one my favorites ever! Lots of big classes and events, some nourishment in Birmingham and London with plenty of delicious food.. Connecting to you all and reaching out to new people is what this space is about and everyone is always welcome. And there was plenty of that!

When I qualified as your yoga teacher in 2018, I started to teach in Warley Woods on a weekly basis between 2018-2021 as a way to connect with the local community and to facilitate connections between people in the local area. I have always been fascinated with the peace and quiet nature gives us as well being the best yoga studio there is.

After a break, I am delighted to share that I am returning with a new summer programme not only in Warley Woods but a new monthly class in Cannon Hill Park on the back of the recent summer solstice celebration.

It is very freeing to practice outdoors and helping people access yoga in a supportive environment, in the arms nature. Something I rekindled when I was in New York last year and attending my dear friend @alignwithleen @bklynflow yoga class with over 200 people in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, a year ago this month. I have been counting down the days since then (and waiting for warmer weather!) to be able to hold space for you without the restrictions of a physical space.

I would love you to experience this, with each session to be a celebration of our bodies and connection to one another, each and every week.

Booking links and more information is in the bio, and in your mailboxes.

Please share freely and everyone is welcome.

A day to celebrate and reconnect with community, nature and good conversation on a sunny morning in Cannon Hill Park!

We enjoyed a complete yoga class filled with mantra, pranayama, asana and plenty of yogic philosophy recognising the roots of yoga. What was beautiful to witness was the interest shown by the students and willingness to try these practices in safe environment.

Our reflection point was “what has yoga given to you?’ and we heard some deep and poignant shares about the impact this practice for India continues to improve their lives.

Of course we all deserve a post practice samosa and home made chai to keep the conversation going and nourish our bellies!

Thank you to all our guests for moving with me in the sunshine and giving so much effort in the session! I loved seeing you, meeting new people and reconnecting with people from across the years!

Keep a look out for more park yoga over the summer..

For we are the many.

A happy Summer Solstice and International Yoga day to all the collective!

As we look back at the year so far, we can celebrate our own growth while we have a place in out community. When we are open to receive and let things come our way, we can feel abundance and pride in every experience. Having spacious in life and not feeling pressured to fill every waking second, allows space for the magic to bloom. Most of all, the solstice energy asks us to honour where we have been, enjoy the presents and set intentions for the season ahead.

We can use this day to reflect upon what yoga has given us. A space to land and come back to time and time again. Connection with mind, body and self. Where friendships can be formed and to learn about one another. Of course physical health improves, but as we lean towards a complete practice, significant changes can be made in our lives. Please take some time in meditation and reaffirm your relationship with the path of yoga..

The main thing I would like to see is a reclamation of this day, and used as a way to give something back to humanity. A reminder that yoga is India’s gift to the world that is for all people, and not a tool to be used for darkness, propaganda or gimmicks. I respect those trying to create something positive on this day. Myself included. Charity and community connection is a good start..

As I reflect on the year so far, I wish to give thanks for each and everyone of you. The collective has grown rapidly this year. I have given more space to allow more of you to enter the teaching of yoga, breath and sound as I seek to help make this world a better place for us all. I have felt intense grief and pain that most of you do not know about.

Even in the darkness, there is a revelation which sometimes takes some time to be shown to us.
I give thanks to those of you who allow me to share the wisdom and teachings of my ancestors. I give thanks to those I work with and take time to understand. I thank all the new relationships that have been formed and your continued love and belief in me.

That support will never be forgotten by me..

Healing Arts Birmingham (HABrum) @jameelartshealthlab is a week-long, city-wide event showing how arts, culture and heritage can improve health, wellbeing and social equity.

Friday 26th June 9:30am

Join us for a morning practice set within the beautiful surroundings of Genevieve Robertson’s exhibition Under the Orange Sticks of the Sun.

With stunning floor to ceiling artworks, all created with natural materials, this unique setting will encourage us to connect with nature, breath and body in a supportive, nourishing environment.

All booking links in bio.

In the @therogueroom , there is attention to detail where light and sound combine intrinsically to ensure all practices in this space are most impactful. This “dancefloor” is a place I have admired for a while due to the variety of modalities offered and the values @rosiehall_rogue shares so openly, ensuring those who walk through the doors are seen.

A place that is social, inclusive yet diverse where you can immerse yourself in a culture that makes you feel good and connect with those around you…

Having a weekly yin and live music session on the day of rest was such a joy to be able to rest and receive and an antidote to city life. I travelled down and completely surprised my pal @body.by.letty to be met with “you are here. In the flesh” and a warm welcome and embrace…

As we travelled through 90 mins of practice totally immersed in this magical place, held lovingly by @body.by.letty words and @soundpapii sweet gong playing, a full house releasing and feeling what is needed to be felt. An AlphaTheta sound system, circadian lighting principles deeply enriching the experience ensuring all is felt in the soul..as I did in mine.. A deep relaxation is needed to balance the stresses of the year so far.

All the power to you and wishing the community well as you continue to impact those who you meet on the dancefoor… @rosiehall_rogue happy 5 year anniversary and wishing you many more…

If you are in London go visit because ethical places are hard to find…

Jnana- Thought culture

The unity of London, a historical studio and likeminded people coming together to experience sound and yogic practices from the motherland courtesy of @jnana.world , a wellbeing app centring the voices of India.

In an industry that claims to be diverse and inclusive, having spaces led by those rich in ancestral knowledge to share with humanity, feels like such a privilege to be part of. After sold out events in LA, it was now London’s turn.

Sound helps us access deeper meditative states and coming together in @polygon.live 360° spatial audio listening room in the older Warner Brothers Studio in Soho, set the conditions for a world away from the outer one, to create the perfect condition to investigate our inner one.

In my own work as a facilitator in creating spaces to access meditation, sound and breath, I have seen people’s transformation, as we seek to move away from asana. For me, it was a delight to be held in a community like this and be spoken to the soul by @yogatman calming and supportive presence throughout. Throughout pranayama, and meditation, we were able to feel shifts within ourselves and learn about “thoughts” and the impact they have on us and others.

The sounds were deep, enriching and stirring from @citizenkna travels across India bringing the sounds to us to be transported to a picture of nature with the addition of live ambient sounds to bring together an integration of the afternoon.

Massive thanks to the team and gratitude to Mehr for working so hard over the years to bring this vision to life for all of us..

A special day and class awaits you as you join with the community to celebrate the Summer Solstice and International Yoga day, with Manoj in the leafy Cannon Hill Park in Moseley this Sunday.

The summer solstice marks the midpoint of the year, the longest day of the year and regarded as the first day of summer. In this celebration of the sun, we can also celebrate new beginnings for us and live the life we wish to in balance

This day also marks International Yoga day, with classes being held all across the world. We remind ourselves about the power of this practice.. The importance of it being available to all beings, regardless of background, faith, orientation, skin colour or nationality, which stands at the heart of yoga, with this session being completely free and accessible to all.

Be led by local Indian yoga teacher Manoj, as he shares over 8 years of experience and teachings, into this complete practice including mantra, sound, pranayama and yoga asana. You all also learn about yoga’s origins and how this practice can support you.

Stay after class to enjoy a samosa and chats with members of the community to deepen your connection to those around you.

After registration, a location pin and form will be sent to complete before attending this class.

Everybody welcome. Please share far and wide. From my heart to yours…

An absolutely incredible day in South Birmingham this past Saturday for the very first @oneretreatwellness at the stunning Highbury Hall!

I was honoured to be invited to be part of the day to lead 3 sold out sessions in breathwork and sound for a total of over 100 guests! The sessions were electric because of YOU and the energy and curiosity you brought into the room. A diverse mix of ages, background, experiences being present in the sessions, ensured that we could all receive and benefit from the offerings, where all parts of you are welcome.

As a space holder, some of my proudest moments in the last 8 years in wellness have been at festivals like this, as it’s a day to be in our own bubble, being with likeminded people, all here to elevate one another, so we leave having an memorable and sometimes life changing experience. And now we have our own independent one here in our city!

I appreciated speaking to so many of you, hearing your thoughts and answering your questions across the day with many of you taking your first steps into breathwork and sound. My wish and intention for all of you is to have a taste of what these practices can offer you, and let them enrich your life’s journey.

What is success if we can’t ALL be successful and proud of one another? I was delighted to see so many of my friends, colleagues and those I have met for the first time, have a spotlight to shine on this day. It was wonderful to see the passion you embody and see your passions being shared.

My deepest love and appreciation goes to @alexhydecoaching and @samrigs who have created this space for us all and have worked incredibly hard to make this day a success. I wish you so much success in the future and know this is just a start in creating enriching spaces for all.. Many congratulations..

If you were there at any of my sessions, what was your biggest takeaway?

📷 @aspinallv @smallhousebigtrips

Today is the day we celebrate all the wonderful practitioners based in the Midlands while being able to try so many different modalities and to learn from them, at the very first @oneretreatwellness

Enjoy all your sessions, take in the surroundings, talk to people you don’t know, try something new and take it all in!

#birmingham #kingsheath #oneretreatwellness #breathwork #soundbath

This week, we came together at the stunning @exchangebirmingham in Birmingham to practice yoga under @lukejerramartist stunning structure helios for a sold out yoga practice.

This 5 m wide structure was the focus of our class, using traditional salutations and asanas to connect with our body and honour the sun with all it’s intricacies, suns spots and flares.

Sun salutations are a series of 12 asanas, which increase flexibility, core strength, will power and confidence. It is a meditative practice where you can lose yourself in the movements, while allowing heat to be generated in a way that mirrors the heat of the sun.

When Birmingham comes together like this, to access wellness in unique ways, it makes me so proud to be born and bred in this city!I love to support you through this practice, meet new people and help take their first steps into yoga, and reconnect with students from the past!

Massive thank you to the exchange and @unibirmingham for helping this event be a massive success!!

Only a week to go to the very first @oneretreatwellness at this Historic Highbury hall!

I’m delighted to be sharing three sessions across the day along with many talented practitioners!

The perfect space for sound. Calm. Tranquil. Artsy. A compliment to sound vibration and this form or art…

The first ever sound experience in @birmingham_mag , brought a new feeling of harmony and peace as we access this iconic space in a new way.

32 people ensured a sell out. Folk from across the Midlands, gathering to rest and be held, making this a truly historymaking moment in our lives.

Your enthusiasm and curiosity around sound healing was felt by me, and was an honour to hold this space for you. I loved hearing about your journey in this afterhours sound experience.

It’s a privilege to be your resident sound practitioner at BMAG and all of you are welcome.

The next two dates are on sale and these will sell out…

Saturday 9th May
Saturday 13th June

The final month of the year always means making changes, letting go, reflecting and making intentions for the year ahead. It makes this month even more important along with rest, celebrations and plenty of good food. We bring to our hearts those who find this time difficult in our communities and those around the world who are not safe, have shelter and do not feel at peace.

Joy to me is seeing you in sessions, doing your best, being mindful where you need to , and opting/modifying where needed. There have been many opportunities to practice together with me across the country in a variety of locations, as I continue my mission to share my gifts with as many people as possible. I love to see the friendship and community that is created in every class, and being on hard to listen and answer questions, as we all strive to grow this year.

This year, I had my most busy yet with classes, workshops, ytt’s, and soundbaths offered. I’m quite scared to count that! I was much quieter on my own offerings, and turned inwards greatly as I sought stability and support in those around me, to allow me to focus on my health which has improved dramatically this year.

To me it felt like continuing the first steps to good health after seeds were planted in 2024 and a difficult time in hospital last summer in India. There have been many many highlights which I will share in my next post/letter to you..

I appreciate your understanding and I am so excited and ready to go for next year…

If you have come to one class, or many classes this year, you have helped shape the collective to what it is, and I hope you have found a sense of belonging in every session I have held for you.. I don’t get to do this, without your support and I’m privileged to be your guide.. A massive thank you to you all… I am always open to serve you in a way that resonates with you, and you are always welcome to share with me what that looks like..

I am wishing you and all your families safety, peace and love throughout this festive period and I look forward to continuing on this journey with you…

Some time to reflect the experiences of my 2nd year of working with @hotyoganottingham as part of the esteemed teaching team to provide knowledge, wisdom and from the source, to help our recent set of graduates live and breathe yoga into 2026.

Educating and inspiring the next generation is something I knew I was always going to do. From my years of working with 5-16 year olds in school, to my current role as a servant of yoga. It is a great sense of pride when I am able to and asked to share the knowledge of my ancestors to help raise the consciousness of society, every time my mat is rolled out and pens are ready to write.

My delivery this year included a module on Ayurveda and teaching with integrity. This cohort were insightful and thoughtful coming to the sessions, with plenty of questions where I was able to share knowledge to inform their teaching. Leaving them feeling strong enough to challenge uncomfortable issues in yoga, yet opening up space for curiosity and what they wish their yoga to represent.

It was such an honor to celebrate your graduation and so excited to see what lies ahead in your futures!

Looking forward to the new cohort joining us in 2026!

Watch some truth in some of these videos!

Thanks for capturing some moments from training @devinaparekhyoga

My 3rd time at @lostvillagefestival and it gets better and better everytime! It has now become a key fixture of my year and a chance to connect and serve so many of you from across the country! This time 3 sound baths in the new sound cave to over 150 people and an electric yoga class to yoga over 70 ravers!

On a calm Sunday morning, resting with sound to release, to feel and connect as the festival wakes up, a beautiful energy was created, with most experiencing this for the very first time. Some experienced profound breakthroughs, for some it was peace away from the high energy of the main festival.

Yoga… you had to be there! Something a bit fun, something a bit hot with plenty of laughs along the way! To see you all breathing and moving together as a community ,whether it is a class with a few people or it 50+ bodies is such a privilege and it is always, my intention to leave you with something that you will cherish forever.

Thank you to each and every one of you for coming! A special thanks to @piproberts__ for inviting me back for my favourite one of the three! To all the team and volunteers who were so patient and lovely, I see you too! Amazing to meet up with some fellow practitioners doing this work. And to all the new people I connected with, welcome and I’m here for you…

On the eve of the next heatwave, throwing it back to another really hot day we enjoyed back on the 29th June for the future neighbourhood festival held at @natureandwellbeingcentre this was a 4 day festival which was completely free to the community and we were blessed with incredible weather!

So many activities being held for all the family and welcome to all!

It was a pleasure to hold a sound bath to complete the weekend surrounded by hay, ensuring the comfort of all guests! Being out in nature and connecting with the stillness of the space enhances the experience for all. As you can see, it was an opportunity to get to know those in the community and deepen the bonds between families.

The feedback came from the vast majority of people who had never experienced sound before, let alone in this way. Children and young people asked very interesting questions and had an opportunity to play some instruments, which I intend for them to feel inspired and remember this magical day!

Thank you to all the staff and volunteers for making me welcome and your hard work over this special weekend!

A recap video from our Yogis for Palestine @yogis4palestine fundraiser at @moseleyhive in June which was filled with compassionate and kind people from our community to stand in solidarity with those suffering in Palestine. It’s incredible that 178 yoga teachers held classes across the world in 35 countries, to raise $22,790.

In our class we raised £370 and included donations from collective members who wished to support the class and unable to attend in person. The donations provide free support for displaced children in Gaza at @jawadcamp1 providing them a sanctuary for education and care.

I will never forget this night and will never forget those who are suffering right now…

I concluded the evening reading a piece about hope and what the Palestinian people are all about. The cries of the Palestinian flag by @shahdmah850 who I had the honour of meeting last year and hearing her read from her anthology.

Viva Palestine.

Thank you @_.pripri for capturing the night on film and creating this wholesome video, showing what the collective is all about..

A week ago today, in @prospect_park Brooklyn, I joined over 200 people which proved to be an unreal experience! People of all ages, backgrounds and abilities to be held in community by the talented @alignwithleen , over sunset. Her dulcet tones and trauma-informed language reaffirmed there are people out there serving the people in a supportive way, even when I am far from home.

Yoga has always been about togetherness, community and inclusion and a place where we can feel safe. Nature gives us the blanket we need and lets the healing continue.

I will definitely savior and remember this class forever! An incredible hour in NYC…

Thank you @bklynflow thank you @alignwithleen for class and chats hours into the darkness.

I’m looking forward to holding space for you like this very very soon… stay tuned…

We came together on 22nd June 2025 to reflect, rest, grieve and hope, through our yoga practice and strength in community. A gathering of 16 souls in Moseley, with people travelling from far a wide as part of a worldwide collective of over 160 classes worldwide coming together to raise vital funds to support the children of Gaza.

The practice I shared was based around ahimsa which comes from the yoga sutras, meaning non harming or non violence. If you are a decent and empathetic person, this comes easily to most. I often speak in my classes about self love being at the heart of everything we do, then we will know what it feels like to have the sort of love we deserve. In this practice, I asked guests to turn this non harming from something passive to something that is more active. How can we be people who are not only stopping harm from taking place, but being active in the care of those who are being harmed? How can our actions align with our values and be truthful when we speak?

We raised a total of £370 which included donations from collective members who wished to support the class and unfortunately able to attend in person. All your donations will provide free support for displaced children in Gaza at @jawadcamp1 providing them a sanctuary for education and care.

A massive thank you to everyone who attended and your sharing about the event. And of course @yogis4palestine @tejalyoga @sheena_shining @moseleyhive and our global community of spaceholders.

Are you longing for connection, spirituality and to deepen your yoga practice?

Do you wish to deepen your experience of yoga and learn about its roots?

Have you always wanted to visit India but never known how to and when to go?

This is an adventure of a lifetime to the home of Yoga in Rishikesh India! An opportunity to learn and experience the best of Indian culture and heritage in this 7 night stay in a boutique hotel, with private yoga shala. A trip where the memories and friendships will be cherished for years to come!

Rishikesh is based on the sacred river of the Ganges, where many people across India revere this water for it’s healing properties. For those who come in contact with it, feel a great sense of energy and purity when used in a respectful manner. This will form the backdrop of time together. This space is for connection, ancient rituals and yoga across these 7 nights. The breathtaking views can been seen for miles and you will stare in sheer wonder.

People do not leave this place the same as they arrived and revel in it’s wonder as truths become revealed to us. India grows us and brings us out of our comfort zone, but know you will be supported before, during and after with the guidance of senior Indian Yoga teacher Manoj. This is the opportunity to step into your power and be immersed in the source of Yoga.

Most people will come alone and leave making friends from across the world. This immersion helps us expand our world view, building connections with those who are drawn to an experience like this for similar reasons to you. You never know who you might meet!

Your heart is longing for this immersion… join me as your humble servant..

Comment below and I will send you more details. 🇮🇳

Manoj is such a knowledgeable teacher who is genuinely passionate about what he teaches. He takes time to offer advice and adjustments where needed to ensure the class is tailored to each individual and genuinely wants the people who come to his classes to have the best experience possible, leaving completely relaxed and with a smile on their face.

Gemma

Manoj is an incredible Yoga Teacher with so much wisdom, knowledge and personality. You can tell how much he cares for his students which is beautiful. I felt like a new person after my class with Manoj, thank you so much for the class! I will definitely practise more with you!

Lisa

Manoj’s passion for yoga and eagerness to both teach and learn from his fellow yogis makes his classes a real joy. Manoj artfully brings together the 8 elements of yoga to offer opportunities for growth and expansion, creating a truly holistic practice suitable for all levels of experience. Manoj brings a sense of community to every class or workshop, allowing yogis to connect to each other and their yoga practice. I have been attending Manoj’s classes for over a year now and I’ve learnt how to allow the breath to guide my practice, and how to appreciate what my body is capable of on any given day, rather than focusing on achieving certain postures. I highly recommend you attend one of Manoj’s classes and experience the magic for yourself.
