Project For Children In Adopted & Foster Care

Sevanti’s background as a Contemporary dancer and 20 years of yoga teaching experience, contribute to an experienced and grounded approach. Her Yogic style has always been very fluid, focusing on gravity, release and breath, with an organic and meditative foundation. She has experienced various dynamics and styles of Yoga, and always returns to a slower investigation into the mind-body relationship, although she enjoys playing with dynamics and choreographing flowing sequences too.

Unity Yoga is a deep and meditative flow. It is an enquiry into organic, natural movement; moving inwards through focused awareness to then open outwards into a spectrum of authentic yogic postures with sensitivity and strength. The heart of this practice is about ‘being with oneself’, letting go and enjoying the process of unfolding rather than judging or forcing. We establish our practice through the recognition of our miraculous, intelligent body and mind, therefore moving naturally and uniquely to our personal form and personality.

Sevanti is currently taking a break from teaching her Unity Yoga For All classes, to focus on The Unity Centre in Lewes, but she will be teaching the following: Monday evenings class from 7.30pm - 9pm at Newhaven Harbour Primary School. Please contact sevantiunity@gmail.com to book your place.​

Sevanti facilitates regular Yoga, Partner Yoga & Massage Workshops and offers a variety of Holistic Treatments at her beautiful Studio.

Please visit the Unity Partner Yoga Workshop page for more information.

She is the director of a number of Professional Training courses including 200hr Unity Yoga Teacher Training (IYN), Unity Partner Yoga Teacher Training (IYN), Unity Holistic Massage Diploma (MTI), Anatomy & Physiology courses designed for Yoga teachers and holistic therapists, and Traditional Reiki Training.

Sevanti also runs yoga retreats in Turkey.

About Olive

Olive found yoga five years ago, in a slightly unconventional way - through social media. With her interest peaked, she developed her own practice over time. She did her teacher training in Ashtanga and Ashtanga Vinyasa Flow, at an ashram in Goa called Kranti Yoga. In contrast to the rigidity to the Ashtanga primary series, the fluidity of Ashtanga Vinyasa does make a welcome change to the practice. It can be as challenging or as restorative as you like, and this dynamic element of this practice is what makes it so enjoyable. She adores the ability to come up with different and creative flows for her students when she teaches Ashtanga Vinyasa. Ultimately, she wants her students to walk away from my class with happiness and joy radiating from them.

Class Description

This gentle but challenging Hatha Yoga class uses inspiration from Tantric yoga to bring more awareness to our physical and subtle bodies as we move and breath. We will use pranayama (breathing), asana and meditation to bring ourselves into balance and energize us. The class invites a journey of deep interorization, helping us to connect more deeply with ourselves, leaving us feeling more grounded. Money shouldn't be a barrier. Come along and pay what you can.

Yin Yoga is a slow, meditative, floor based practice. Postures are held for 3-5 minutes as we soften and surrender. Turning our attention inward toward breath and body, observing the sensations that arise from a place of stillness. In our busy, highly stimulated daily lives, finding time to slow down body and mind and give back to ourselves is essential. In essence, Yin Yoga is a method of inner healing.

Class Description

​GYROKINESIS®, originally called 'yoga for dancers', is a movement method that gently works the entire body, opening energy pathways, stimulating the nervous system, increasing range of motion, and creating functional strength through rhythmic, flowing movement sequences. You can attend this session without prior experience of this system. It is a group session so just come along with comfortable clothing and water. The focus is on creating space, strengthening the connection of all the body systems while raising awareness of the body.

Each class begins on a chair with a gentle warm up sequence to awaken the senses, and stimulate the nervous system. This is followed by a series of fluid spinal motions which increase range of motion, and prepare the body to explore more complex movements with agility, and ease. Class continues on the floor with exercises that expand on the spinal motions, gradually adding more complex sequences, incorporating more movements of the hips, shoulders, hands and feet. The floor exercises are followed by a rhythmic standing sequence that incorporates balance, and cardiovascular exercises; then ends with a calming, unwinding sequence designed to prepare the body and mind to reintegrate with the everyday world.

About Holly

From a young age I loved to dance, however at about 18 years old I was looking for something that would help me to connect with myself more, and wanted to try and focus more on the internal than the external image, and I started practicing yoga at university. Having found how beneficial yoga was for so many different parts of my life, I completed my Yoga Teacher Training at Upaya Yoga, Goa in February 2019. I had taught fitness classes, body balance, and dance classes before, so knew that I loved to teach, and as I'd found how life changing yoga could be, I felt I'd really found something special, and yoga teaching has certainly been incredible full-filling so far. Since I've started teaching yoga I’ve grown in so many ways as I've learnt through practice, from other teachers, and learnt form my students. I've been to as many different yoga classes as I can and have therefore have been inspired and learnt so much from a variety of styles of yoga and teaching styles. I have now grown into myself and found my place in the world of yoga. I also work as a mental health occupational therapist, and try to incorporate my mental health expertise where I can throughout class, so that people can work to they create more mental space and resilience, feeling calmer, and more balanced. During my class I aim to use a holistic approach, I try to create a balance between focusing on the mental growth we can work on during class; releasing stress and emotional tension, and working on the physical growth we can achieve through a range of mobility techniques, creative ad dynamic flows, and I like to bring a strong motivational energy so people can feel inspired and can feel a improvement each class. I hope students will leave feeling inspired, energised, centred, focused, and calm.
