In 1996 Faustomaria opened the Innergy Yoga centre in West London where he taught the 'Art of Living' through the asanas of Hatha Yoga, the philosophy of Raja Yoga, the stillness of Meditation, the transcending heart of Kirtan Chanting and the selfless service of Karma Yoga.
Faustomaria teaches a 'Hatha Flow' involving the awareness of breath, as energy, to move into more complex asanas. He also leads monthly sessions of Kirtan, using the singing of ancient mantras to focus the mind and open the heart. Book yoga classes here: www.dorelli.co.uk

In this Room our experienced teachers and tutors are offering creative online courses and coaching in mental health, meditation, mindfulness, nutrition and spiritual support. We have Evie Gibbons, a Certified Facilitator of The Work of Byron Katie, Amanda Warburton, a Reiki practitioner of over 20 years, and Mary Louise Morris, a mindfulness coach who’s been working with children, teens and adults since 2005.
In this time of rapid change, a good diet (and healthy gut bacteria) is essential to boost our immune system. So we have two in-house nutritionists, Evie Whitehead who specialises in digestive and gut health, and Rebecca who is offering plant-based cooking classes and juice fasts.
For those of us with an over-thinking mind prone to anxiety (that’s probably most people, right now) we can help you to gently train your mind to work with you, and not against you. For this, we have Caroline, an intuitive therapist who has worked successfully for over 30 years with thousands of people, sharing mindfulness and meditation techniques both internationally and in the UK.
Our yoga teacher Faustomaria Dorelli has been teaching yoga since 1985 and was trained by Swami Vishnudevananda, the founder of the Sivananda Vedanta Organisation. His style is very much a holistic approach to yoga, helping to bring the mind always back to the body and the breath. And once the mind takes a back seat, the body is able to concentrate on what it does best – self-healing by nourishing and replenishing the vital energy or prana.
Right now, we need all the tools we can find, and those include a flexible, balanced mind and a strong healthy body, both inside and out. As the world changes its focus from fear to love, and we begin to understand the power of our thoughts, it’s important to remember that humanity is a Whole. Every kind, loving thought - whether about ourselves or about others - ripples out and affects this Whole.
So whatever you choose, whether it’s an online meditation course, a mindfulness class or Reiki colour healing, you are quietly benefiting many others besides yourself - scroll up and have a look at what’s on offer.
The group classes are available for the suggested £5 donation and as ever, 10% of this goes to charity.
