Followed by a truly MEMORABLE Biosonic Sound and Restful Yoga session for the beautiful students of the @royalcollegeofart with the WILDLY talented @davehart_music .🪈 Handpans, Irish Flute, a looper and rest pose.

Thanks to all who came and trusted the process of surrender.🌹 ____ #ceremony #ritual #altarspace #yogaandsound #yogaandart

INTRODUCING BIOSONIC SOUND SESSIONS + RESTFUL YOGA Join us @davehart_music and @studio.shruti for our second collaboration, exploring restful yoga with the sounds of nature, the Indian flute, handpan and more…🎼 We met in May 2024, where we collaborated on a nature retreat at @hilfield_friary in Dorset with @soulrewilding , where the theme was to explore the sounds of nature alongside intuitive movement. We are delighted to be offering this session at the wonderful Hangar Gallery at the @royalcollegeofart , Battersea. Biosonica is an evolving practice exploring how sound can shape atmosphere and experience within shared spaces. Experience immersive sound environments for calm, connection — shaped through natural sounds, composition and live performance. We will be practising primarily floor-based postures in this extended and healing session. Beginning with meditation and breathwork, Shruti will guide you through a sequence of restorative positions whilst sharing Indian Head Massage therapeutic techniques to those who wish to go deeper into relaxation. This practice is designed to help you activate your parasympathetic nervous system, enter into rest and digest and create a sense of spaciousness within the mind and body. To close, we will experience a 15-20 minute deep listening session in our chosen rest pose. ABOUT DAVE HART Dave Hart is a sound artist and composer working with natural recordings, spatial listening, and immersive environments. ABOUT SHRUTI Shruti is a British South Asian multi-disciplinary artist, yoga practitioner and holistic massage therapist currently completing her @rca_masterofresearch in Fine Art at the Royal College of Art, exploring decolonial feminsim. Join us Thursday 14 May, 5.30pm - 7.00pm, Hangar Gallery, Battersea, link in bio. BYO mat or just 3 spaces left with mat.

WEARING A SARI IS AN EXPRESSION OF IDENTITY 🥻 Tomorrow I’ll be sharing a talk about Identity with the Pre-Sessional students @royalcollegeofart . A beautiful Zen Buddhist meditation invites us to ask “Who Am I?” which inspires me to think of who we are without the veils of our personal histories - our cultural identities, post-colonisation and through a decolonial feminist lens. I have been working on my thesis thanks to the help of my tutor @gemmablackshaw and in my research have stumbled upon Hindu goddesses and yoginis, women of yoga and relocated my own personal family archive. I’m enjoying delving into the work of Julietta Singh, learning more about the solidarity of hashtag #browngirl and reconsidering the works of Homi Bhabha, Trinh T. Minha and Gayatri Spivak on cultural hybridity, mimicry and liminal spaces through a post Black Lives Matter lens. I look forward to sharing some of these thoughts in the context of my own work and alter ego @camou_devi and learning more about what Identity means to my fellow students tomorrow. A few fun clips from the Healing Through Performance artist talk, film screening of Invocation of Camou Devi (directed by @issabellaorlando DOP @alexandra_tanase_dop ) and immersive Breathwork event @oru_space , October 2025, filmed by Pollina Norville. _____ @rca_masterofresearch #decolonial #identity #culturalhybridity #royalcollegeofart

SACHA HUGHES | BOOK LAUNCH 💕 Bournemouth Writing Festival ✍🏽 In the words of Sacha’s dear mum, join us to “laugh until we cry or cry until we laugh”. Introducing @sachahughes at the Bournemouth literary festival might just be one of life’s greatest honours. We have laughed and cried together over love, love lost, mums’ lost and most possibly some spilt milk in our recruitment coffees (if not wine) along the way! If you’re around next Sunday 26 April at 3.30pm, join us at the @bournemouthwritingfestival in Bournemouth, UK, for the official book launch of Sacha’s debut novel from her Soho Summers trilogy “Love, Grief and More Sex Than Pinot” published by Ocean Breeze publishing and join our girly chat about chick flicks, men’s bits and anything in between - just what friendship is all about! 💕 With love, giggles and a splash of sparkling mineral water, Shruti 💧 ___ #findyourpurpose #videopostcard #slowliving #bournemouthliteraryfestival #womensupportingwomen

💕LOVE, GRIEF 💕 & More Sex Than Pinot, Sacha Hughes (2026) My dear friend @sachahughes has self-published her own trilogy of novels, the first of which is available on Amazon worldwide. 🌎 Sacha is one of the funniest, kindest and most glamorous mums and friends I know - she has a heart of gold and words of true wisdom. As a fellow ex recruiter “work hard, play hard” “retox, detox” and “what stays in Vegas” are all too memorable mantras which #bts shaped our working life. And yet beneath it all, the vulnerability of personal circumstances and life events are really what we were numbing ourselves from - through work, exercise, food, wine…the list goes on. It’s been 4 years since I had a glass of Pinot and i have no intention to have another but I can’t wait to dive in! If you’re looking for a story with some truly laugh out loud moments, a spiritual edge and humbling vulnerability, bag your copy on Amazon! Woo! 💕💕💕 Thank you, Sacha for sharing your words with the world, inspiring us women everywhere to do the same. 💕💕💕 _____ #sachahughes #lovestory #griefstory #moresexthanpinot womeninspiringwomen

☀️AN INVITATION: MY LAST FRENCH GETAWAY IN OCCITANIE 19-25 JULY 2026 ☀️ I feel very honoured to receive a request from some of you lovely people to hold another retreat in 2026. It wasn’t in the plan tbh, it takes heaps of work in the background (which I love) and it takes time for the right folks to come forward to make it the special experience that hands down (mostly in down dog) it always is. So here goes…. @nickimerali and I have one final collab in the dreamy farmhouse in the world of figs Vezenobres, where in mid July there won’t be much to do but read a book, have a swim and indulge in Nicki’s amazing culinary delights. And some yoga and belly laughs. I’m calling this the Elemental Retreat - both as it’s for beginners, my first one hosting alone and because we’ll be enjoying the elements, exploring them through seasonal dishes and the Eastern philosophy of chakras and meridians. If you’d like to join, drop me a DM and I can share more. It’s under £200 for direct flights to Montpelier at the mo from London airports Stansted and Gatwick and all meals, practices and accommodation is included. This will be my last year in this stunning venue : near Pont du Gard and Uzes market town, Montpelier and the beach. Take time to chill, all are welcome. 🙏🏽 ___ #yogaretreatfrance #frenchyogaretreat #yogaretreatoccitanie #yogaretreatjuly2026 #andrelax
