Calm Within
Before you can change anything, you have to stop reacting. Calm is where every good choice begins.

The Yoga of Awareness
New Light Yoga is a practice of tuning into the living vibration of consciousness, endlessly unfolding within you.
“Within us there lives the most calm, serene lake of wisdom. You must leave your limitations and use all methods to raise your consciousness.”
Ancient Wisdom
We believe calm is contagious. That one steady breath can soften a hard day, and one softened day can change how a person shows up for their family, their colleagues and their life.
New Light Yoga is not about flexibility or performance. It is a practice of awareness: grounding, stabilising and nurturing, while expanding your sense of your own soul and consciousness. People come for better sleep or less stress. They stay because it makes them feel good, and feel at home in the universe.
A Moment of Awakening
In 2005, I attended a yoga class from a place of ego. I'd never done yoga or breathwork before, but I was determined to prove I could do yoga like everybody else who's been practicing for years. I pushed through all the exercises, and during the deep relaxation, I had an out-of-body experience of expanded awareness and a sense of awakening. It changed how I saw the world. After that, I developed a daily practice to try to access that state and feel that presence. I call that state the zero point. Now I want to share this with others, and New Light Yoga is what I call my practice. It's simple, yet challenging, and yet open to anyone.
Beyond the mat
In our group workshops we go beyond relaxation into what yogis call shunya: zero point, the still centre where the mind finally rests.
Students have told me about light behind closed eyes, visions, and a warmth that feels like healing. I don't promise any of it. I just make the space.
Here's the paradox the practice teaches: everything is important, and nothing is important. Somewhere between the two, you find yourself again.
The Practice
Yoga means Union. It aligns your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies. A typical class (approx 1.5 hours) includes:
Connect with the yogi mind.
Prepare the body.
A specific set to build stamina or focus the mind.
Deep rest to integrate changes.
Connect to zero point through the yogi-mind.
The Ripple
Most people spend their lives reacting to stress, to noise, to the demands of a day that never slows down. New Light Yoga begins before that. Moving from surviving to shaping is what turns an individual practice into something that ripples outward.
Before you can change anything, you have to stop reacting. Calm is where every good choice begins.
With a quiet mind you stop running on autopilot and start choosing who you want to be.
Calm people make kinder choices. One steadier person changes a family, a workplace, a life.
The Experience
Re-membering is reconnecting with your soul consciousness. Scientific research suggests this practice can help reduce symptoms of insomnia, depression, anxiety, stress and high blood pressure.
Combat insomnia and wake up refreshed.
Feel lighter, less stodgy in the afternoons. Increase appetite for life.
Things happen in the right order, at the right time.
A Raj Yoga, incorporating all 8 limbs. Not a religion: a technology for feeling at home in the universe.

“If you are a Christian, it will make you a better Christian. If you are a Muslim, it will make you a better Muslim. If you are an atheist, it will confuse the heck out of you!”
No experience needed. No flexibility required. Come and feel at home in the universe.
