Yoga is an intimate, alchemical process in which you discover your own physical, sensual and emotional landscape. Yoga is how you sing yourself back to life. It's in the moments that you witness the sublime wisdom of the body. It's when you find the ocean in your breath, the stillness in your mind and experience yourself as the force of life.

In Secret Yoga Club, Gabrielle Hales introduces the yoga practices and rituals that she has found therapeutic, life-affirming and liberating over a decade of teaching yoga and co-creating unique, multi-dimensional experiences with a community of healers, artists and musicians.

As Gabrielle has discovered, when you meet yourself on the mat, you have an opportunity to heal the trauma hidden within your body, release the tension in your overworked mind, experience emotion as energy, expand into pleasure and intimacy, and when needed - rest and restore.

Chapters include:

- Roots of yoga
- Electric body - the life force
- Practices
- Stillness
- Expanding with sensation
- Coming together

Author Biography

It took a stint at a corporate global PR agency for Gabrielle Hales to realise that no, office life was not for her. One ticket to India later, she found herself teaching yoga and eager to share all the amazing things she'd learnt upon her return.

Beginning with classes in her own living room, the word spread and the Secret Yoga Club events became so popular that she sought out ever-more exciting venues, bringing an extra element by working with up-and-coming chefs to expand them into yoga supper clubs.

Elements of immersive sound therapy and live music soon followed as part of Gabrielle's mission to introduce a new sense of warmth and generosity to the yoga community - creating a new setting for yoga practice that was more sociable and less solitary, while breaking the assumption that a healthy lifestyle doesn't mean you can't enjoy nourishing food.

Now? Gabrielle's pushing Secret Yoga Club to the next level, aiming to inspire people to experience practices that improve happiness and well-being.
