Litha: Kundalini Yoga in the Medieval Merchant’s House, Southampton

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

Step into the expansive energy of Litha, the Summer Solstice and longest day of the year, when light, growth, and vitality reach their peak. This is a moment to celebrate abundance while staying rooted and present.

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 contrast of bright season and quiet space creates a powerful container. This isn’t about burning out — it’s about sustaining energy, awareness, and presence at the height of the year.

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.
