 Kavalya Bani Sol Flow Healing 

Having held a deep passion for music since childhood, I realised that music is more than just a modality which invokes strong feelings, it can also be used as a tool for healing. Delving into this fascination with sound and vibration and the effects on the body and mind led me to the transformational modality of Sound and Vibrational Therapy. Through my continuing interest in the power of the mind and body as its own healer I have expanded my healing modalities to include Zenthai Shiatsu, Osho Meditations, Breathwork and Qi Gong.

Kundalini Yoga with Nirvair Devi

Kundalini is derived from the Sanskrit word meaning coiled up snake. Through the practice of Kriya & meditation the kundalini energy can be gently awakened and travel up through the body which cleanses and purifies the glandular system, nervous system, and energy centres. Through the practice of kundalini yoga you can expand consciousness and it will help you achieve self-realisation, tapping into Kundalini shakti energy, flowing into expanded creativity & awakening to your soul purpose.

Kundalini Mantra & Meditation with Nirvair Devi

Chanting mantra produces specific vibratory frequency within the body. The sounds and thoughts produced by the body and mind radiate out from you. The vibratory frequency of a mantra draws to you whatever you are vibrating. You are like a magnet attracting vibrations to you by what you send out. As a vibration, a mood, a state of being that results from chanting, mantra is compatible with all belief systems.

Qi Gong with Kavalya

Qi Gong ( Qi - meaning vital life force energy, and Gong - meaning mastery or cultivation) has been used for centuries as a form of medicine in China. It is a movement based meditation, similar to Tai Chi, which uses the breath and fluid movement to bring you into a meditative state, grounding you and allowing your Qi to flow through your body. This ancient healing modality is able to lower stress, increase focus, improve balance and flexibility and expand your consciousness.

Ecstatic Dance Somatic Movement with Nirvair Devi

 Ecstatic dance is a free-form movement and type of dance form, often practiced without a fixed choreography. The idea of ecstatic dance is to completely lend yourself and your body to the rhythm of the music. In ecstatic dance, you move freely through the space leading to a state of trance and ecstasy (hence the name ecstatic). In trance, many dancers find that ecstatic dance brings them into a deep meditative state. In ecstatic dance, one is fully and devotedly in the body and therefore also fully in the present moment.
