The Rainbow Within

Practices to balance your subtle energies and create a sense of wholeness

“The body is the vehicle, consciousness the driver, yoga is the path, and the chakras are the map” ~ Unknown


We all have this beautiful Rainbow Within made up of our energy centres or chakras which are linked to organs, body functions and emotions. 

They were first mentioned in the Hindu texts around 1500 BCE but many other cultures developed similar models including the Ancient Egyptians, Native Americans and Incas. 

Today we even have modern psychology offering a similar concept to help maintain wellbeing in the form of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.

They can sometimes appear inaccessible and abstract, and it’s taken me years to fully understand each one, how they express themselves within me personally, how to know when they are out of balance and how to bring them back into alignment.

So, I’m excited to bring you this seven-week programme where we will explore each chakra in turn, using the most well-known system consisting of seven chakras. 

This course is for you if:

  • you feel like life moves at a relentless pace,
  • you often get stuck in spiralling negative thought patterns,
  • you sense life has more to offer you and vice versa,
  • you'd like to reach your full potential and feel fulfilled and happy on a regular basis,
  • you'd like to create or maintain a strong healthy body and mind,
  • you'd like to create space and time for your own well-being,
  • you’d like to re-learn how to slow down and connect to your inner wisdom.

 

We’ll explore practices that can be used on and off the mat, touching on neuroscience, the latest research into their effect on well-being and include practical ways for you to know and understand your own Rainbow Within.

There will be a strong, physical, alignment-based approach to the dynamic flow classes and an insightful, meditated quality to the gentler, slower paced classes. 

With 6 classes to choose from, in 5 different styles throughout the week you’ll be spoiled for choice! See the full timetable of classes HERE.

WHAT’S INCLUDED:

A total of 42 individual classes or 35 hours of a varied mix of yoga and mindfulness practices to tap into your own inner abundance.

Each class is designed to be used on their own or all together to create your own longer class or workshop.

Life-time access included with purchase.

‘Insightful, interesting and varied’

by Sarah Hall

"Louise's classes are always insightful, interesting and varied as she brings her knowledge and ongoing training and research into each one, combining useful 'off-the-mat' mindfulness tips with yoga poses appropriate to the unique theme for the week as well as catering for individual requirements where needed. They are packed with lots of good advice for day-to-day living as well as for practice on the yoga mat."

Here's what you can expect each week

  • Week 1 - RED – Root Chakra

    This week will be all about the root chakra found at the base of the spine and said to be where our instinctual need for survival resides.

  • Week 2 - ORANGE – Sacral Chakra

    The Sacral Chakra, located around the navel and sexual organs is said to represent our need to allow ourselves to enjoy life and our achievements.

  • Week 3 - YELLOW – Solar Plexus Chakra

    Sometimes called the Sunshine Chakra, located in the abdomen and associated with our self-esteem, will power and personal identity.

  • Week 4 - GREEN – Heart Chakra

    The Heart Chakra represents the bridge between the lower three chakras and the higher three and not surprisingly, where we store and process emotional experiences.

  • Week 5 – Throat Chakra

    Our ability to communicate, to express ourselves, to speak honestly as well as listen is located at the Throat Chakra.

  • Week 6 - INDIGO – Brow Chakra

    Located between the eyes, sometimes called the Third Eye, our Brow Chakra helps us to develop self-awareness, wisdom and imagination.

  • Week 7 - VIOLET – Crown Chakra

    Our Crown Chakra connects us to the Divine, help us see beyond materialism, egotistical ways of being and sense that we are all connected and one.

'Yoga gives us peace and clarity in order to see the beauty and wonder that is all around us'

Louise Neicho

Having spent the first 20 years of my professional life working in and with Nature I feel a deep connection to the natural world that has promoted numerous benefits in my life. Combining this with a love and appreciation of yoga and mindfulness that spans over two decades has enabled me to share practices that help us connect more deeply with Nature and ourselves. I have completed over 1000hrs of yoga and mindfulness teacher training and in 2023 I received a distinction for my master's degree in Mindfulness where my thesis focused on the wellbeing benefits of connecting with Nature. I can honestly say that yoga and Nature has saved my life on more than one occasion, and I don’t think I would be the person I am today if it wasn’t for my practice. To bring all of this together is simply a dream come true and I hope you will join me and our like-minded community soon.

'Louise is so kind and caring'

by Emma Scinaldi

"I started as a complete beginner and was worried I would not be able to follow the moves, but Louise is so kind and caring, plus really knows her stuff so is able to give very clear, supportive guidance. There is never any pressure as Louise always offers alternatives. With care and kindness she has encouraged me to really develop my practice. I always feel really energised after a session with Louise but I am also starting to notice a higher level of peace and tranquility in my day to day life. I feel strong and calm at the same time!"

Your Questions Answered

  • How is this different to other yoga classes?

    This course is designed to take you gently and slowly into the deeper layers of the mind, each week building on your understanding of the workings of the mind and the tools and techniques that you can use on and off your mat. The difference to regular yoga classes is that we focus on one particular emotion or area of the mind, as well as a physical focus in the body each week. You get to explore this theme for a whole week on and off the mat, building your awareness and focus.

  • Which class should I choose?

    There are five different styles to choose from each week and how you choose will depend on whether you have practiced yoga before or not and what you would like to gain from your practice. If you are new to yoga or haven’t practiced in a while, I would suggest starting with the Gentle & Restorative, Yin Yoga, Midday Meditation, Yoga Nidra and Yin Yoga. If you are familiar with vinyasas then you’ll love the Flow & Reflect classes on Monday and Saturday mornings and if you’re looking for more stillness, deep physical stretches and meditation techniques then Yin Yoga will be for you.

  • What do I need to begin?

    You will need a yoga mat and comfortable clothing that you can easily move around in, PJ’s work well for this! For some of the classes you will need some props, but we have been experimenting with household pillows, cushions and blankets in place of traditional yoga props. I will let you know at the beginning of class what you need.

'A unique approach to yoga'

by Liz Hobman

"Louise has a very unique approach to teaching yoga, drawing learning from nature, neuroscience and nourishing spiritual teachings! I love the variety in her programmes, which combine mindfulness practices, movement and postures, readings and poetry, with wisdom and warmth. I am learning so much about how the mind, body and spirit can work together to cultivate compassion, strength and resilience for ourselves and those around us. I always feel calm and uplifted after a class. Informative, insightful and inspiring - thank you Lou!”

'Classes are a life-line'

by Cathy Washbrooke

"Louise’s classes are a life-line! I find myself being able to calm my anxiety, find a new purpose and most importantly accept where we are as a country and continue my daily life. Louise is a very warm, nurturing and knowledgeable teacher. She also integrates elements of mindfulness through various readings, poetry and insights to deepen the practice and allow deep rest to take place. I always feel lifted, yet grounded after each of Louise’s yoga sessions."
