Lammas / Lughnasadh: Kundalini Yoga in the Medieval Merchant’s House, Southampton

  • The Medieval Merchant's House 58 French St, Southampton SO14 2AT (map)

Step into the reflective energy of Lammas — the first harvest of summer fruits and a time to acknowledge what has grown, what has ripened, and what has taken effort. This is a moment to pause, give thanks, and gently begin turning inward.

Held in one of Southampton’s most atmospheric hidden spaces, this intimate evening Kundalini Yoga & Meditation session invites you to harness your energy, find balance, and reconnect with inner clarity under the power of the sun.

Led by Jo, this is a grounding yet energising practice open to everyone — no prior experience of Kundalini Yoga needed.

Set inside the 700-year-old Medieval Merchant’s House, the space supports reflection and nourishment. This isn’t about striving — it’s a deeply settling experience designed to help you honour the season and restore balance.

What to expect

We’ll begin with relaxed social time and a short tour of the house, giving you space to arrive, settle, and connect with the setting and each other.

The session itself weaves together breathwork, intention setting, gentle movement, mantra, and stillness — all carefully guided to help shift stuck energy and bring you back into balance. The practice supports the nervous system, clears the mind, and grounds the body, so you leave feeling lighter, clearer, and steady.

We’ll close the evening slowly, with space to integrate before heading back out into the night.

A note on Kundalini Yoga

No experience of Kundalini Yoga is necessary, however it is quite different to other forms of yoga so there is some information below about what to expect…

Kundalini Yoga is often thought of as the ‘Yoga of Awareness’ and can be more comprehensive and embodied practice than many other styles of yoga, working not just with the physical body, but deeply with the mind, nervous system and energetic body too.

This is a dynamic and powerful practice, designed to give you a direct experience of your own inner state — not something to achieve, but something to feel.

During the session, we consciously work with breath, mudra (hand positions), eye focus, mantra, body locks, and postures, weaving them together to harness the mental, physical, and nervous energies of the body. This combination supports the glandular system, strengthens the nervous system, expands lung capacity, purifies the blood, and brings the whole system back into balance.

The result is a sense of clarity, steadiness, and wholeness across body, mind, and soul.

You don’t need any prior Kundalini Yoga experience. Everything is guided step by step, and you’re always invited to listen to your body and move at your own pace.

Come as you are — the practice meets you there.
