Golden Sun Yoga
Welcome to Golden Sun Yoga
Movement • Conscious Breathing • Relaxation
Golden Sun Yoga is a safe and supportive space for gentle, breath-led practices that combine conscious movement, breathing and deep relaxation.
The intention is to move with awareness, softness and respect for the body. There is no pressure to push, compete or perform difficult postures.
The practice invites you to move, breathe, listen and become more aware of what is happening within the body and mind.
Movement
Movement is the active part of the practice.
Each session combines mobility, gentle strengthening, yoga postures and flowing movement, with influences from Qigong and Taoist movement practices.
The pace can vary. Some parts are slow and deeply mindful, while others may become a little more dynamic and energising. The intention is not intensity, but conscious movement that helps the body feel alive, mobile and engaged.
The breath guides the movement throughout. This helps us stay connected with the body, notice tension or resistance, and become more aware of how we respond when something feels challenging.
Movement is approached with softness rather than force. Each person is encouraged to respect their limits, move at their own pace and remain present in the body.
Movement is also a way of connecting with life and energy. The body is never truly static. Breath, sensation and subtle inner movement are continually changing. Rather than forcing the body, we learn to move with this natural flow.
Conscious Breathing
Conscious breathing is an essential part of the practice, both during movement and as a practice in itself.
We work with breath awareness, pranayama and different breathing techniques.
Sometimes we observe the natural breath, while at other times we intentionally guide its rhythm, depth or pace. This helps us notice more clearly how the breath influences the body, the mind and our inner state.
The breath becomes a bridge between body and mind, as well as between movement and stillness.
Relaxation & Stillness
After movement and conscious breathing, we gradually slow down and allow the body to soften.
We move into stillness, deep relaxation, quiet breath awareness.
Softness and stillness make it easier to listen to the subtle inner movement and energy. Sensations such as heaviness, openness, warmth, tension, contraction or subtle internal movement can become more noticeable.
Emotions are experienced through the body. We do not analyse or work therapeutically with them. Instead, we create space to notice what is present without immediately resisting, suppressing or judging it. The aim is to let go of inner resistance and allow feelings and emotions to be present as they arise.
As the body relaxes and the nervous system begins to settle, there is more space to observe our inner experience with clarity and presence.
Yoga Beyond the Physical
Yoga is more than physical movement. It is also a practice of awareness.
Through movement, breathing, meditation and stillness, we become more conscious of ourselves and of the way we respond to our experience.
We can begin to notice when we push, resist, disconnect from the body or become carried away by thoughts and reactions. With awareness, these responses become easier to recognize instead of acting from them automatically.
Yoga then becomes an inner practice as well as a physical one. It invites us to become more present, understand ourselves more deeply and gradually see beyond the fears, conditioning and learned patterns that shape our experience.
Kyriaki’s Approach
What makes Kyriaki’s approach different is not simply the techniques used, but the way they are brought together.
Kyriaki’s teaching has been shaped by many years of yoga, pranayama, Kundalini meditation, Vipassana meditation, mindfulness, qigong, Taoist practices, Traditional Chinese Medicine and inner work.
These are not taught as separate systems. They influence the way she guides the practice, with particular attention to breath, body awareness, energy, personal limits and inner listening.
Qigong-inspired movement, tapping and gentle meridian stimulation can also be integrated alongside yoga, mobility and breathing practices.
The intention is to create a practice that is physically alive yet gentle, inwardly attentive without becoming passive, and accessible without losing depth.
Who It Is For
Golden Sun Yoga welcomes both men and women of different ages and levels of experience.
It is particularly suited to people who want to move their body without pushing it, improve mobility and gentle strength, or return to movement after a period of inactivity.
In private 1:1 sessions, the practice can be adapted for older adults and people with restricted movement, according to individual ability and comfort.
No advanced yoga experience or previous physical training is needed.
