Come to Kaya’s class
A dedicated, guided meditation at Phoenix. You can sit or lie down; Kaya will take you through it.

You’ve been thinking your whole life.
Come and give your mind a little room. You can meet meditation in a regular yoga class, or spend 45 minutes with Kaya.
The practice
What if my mind won’t go quiet?
It doesn’t have to.
Sometimes the mind settles. Sometimes it resolutely refuses to. You might notice tension you hadn’t realised you were holding, get a little perspective on something that’s been on your mind, or simply finish feeling rested.
You don’t need to have meditated before, and you certainly don’t need to empty your mind before you arrive.
In the room
Kaya will guide you through it
You come in off Upper Richmond Road, take your shoes off and head upstairs. Kaya explains what you’ll be doing and gives everyone time to settle.
You can sit or lie down. She guides the practice, sometimes working with breath, body, visualisation or awareness. Then she brings you back into the room slowly. People are often quite slow to get up afterwards. There’s no rush.
A bit about Kaya
Her background includes Vinyasa, Yin and Yoga Nidra, alongside her own meditation practice and study. She explains things clearly, then gives you room to experience the practice for yourself.
Meet Kaya →Before you come
Very little to prepare
Come as you are. Kaya will explain the practice when you get here.
- Wear
- Something comfortable to sit or lie down in.
- Bring
- Nothing unless you want to. We have mats, blankets, bolsters and eye masks.
If you are pregnant, have a health condition or have any concerns about taking part, get in touch beforehand or have a word with Kaya before class.
How would you like to begin?
Give meditation its own 45 minutes, or meet it within a regular yoga class. Both are a good way in.
Meet it in yoga
Breathing and mindful awareness are already part of many Hatha and Yin classes.
