About this Event
🌈 Yoga for Nepal
An Afternoon of Colour, Healing & Connection
A little warmth for the soul. A little kindness for the world.
As the November days grow shorter, join us at The Sangha House for a very special afternoon of yoga, colour, relaxation and connection — all in support of Community Aid Nepal, a UK-registered charity.
Led by our wonderful yoga teacher Lea-Ann Furphy, this four-hour experience invites you to step away from the busyness of everyday life, reconnect with yourself and explore the fascinating world of chakras, prana (life-force energy) and inner wellbeing.
And there's a little something extra to make the afternoon even more special — a colourful Nepalese artisan bazaar, bringing a taste of Nepal to the heart of Taunton!
🧘 A Journey Within – Inspired by Mount Meru
In ancient Indian mythology, Mount Meru is a sacred mountain, symbolising the centre of the universe. Its story offers a beautiful metaphor for our own inner journey — one of exploration, balance, awareness and transformation.
Drawing inspiration from this ancient symbolism, Lea-Ann will guide us through the chakras, traditionally understood as energy centres within the body, exploring how colour, breath, movement and stillness can deepen our connection with ourselves.
With a lifetime of personal practice and teaching, and a deep interest in prana and the chakras, Lea-Ann brings warmth, wisdom and a wonderfully accessible approach to this fascinating subject.
Throughout the afternoon, you'll experience:
🌈 Chakras & Colour – Exploring the symbolism and qualities of the chakras through colour and awareness.
🧘 Asana – Gentle yoga postures to encourage movement, balance and connection with the body.
🌬️ Pranayama – Breathing practices that invite calm, focus and a deeper awareness of prana.
💜 Meditation – Time to turn inwards, find stillness and explore your inner landscape.
✨ Yoga Nidra – A deeply restful guided practice, allowing you to relax and restore.
And we'd love you to wear something bright! Choose a colour that speaks to you, perhaps one associated with your favourite chakra, and help us create a beautiful celebration of colour as we brighten up a winter afternoon.
All practices can be modified to suit individual abilities and needs. You don't need to be an experienced yogi, or know anything about chakras, to enjoy this afternoon. Just bring your curiosity and an open mind.
🇳🇵 Discover Our Nepalese Artisan Bazaar
Alongside the yoga workshop, we're delighted to welcome two Nepalese artisans, including Our Nepali Home, who will be sharing a wonderful selection of Nepalese crafts, gifts and beautiful handmade goods.
It's an opportunity to discover something a little different, enjoy a cup of tea, browse the stalls and connect with the people and traditions behind the crafts.
The bazaar is open to everyone throughout the afternoon, so even if you're not taking part in the yoga workshop, you're warmly invited to pop in, say hello and enjoy a little taste of Nepal.
❤️ Yoga with a Purpose
This is more than an afternoon of yoga. It's an opportunity for our community to come together and make a difference beyond our own doorstep. This is by donation but we have a recommended donation of £40. (Just give what you are able)
Every penny of that (£40) donation workshop ticket price will go directly to Community Aid Nepal, a UK-registered charity supporting communities in Nepal.
By joining us, you'll be giving yourself the gift of an afternoon devoted to wellbeing while helping support others.
