Workshops with Nurgul Lazenby
A Journey of Friendship, Resilience, and Yoga
This November, we’re honoured to welcome international yoga teacher and dear friend, Nurgul Lazenby, to Soul Space for a heartfelt series of four workshops. Each one an invitation to reconnect with your breath, your body, and your heart.
Nearly twenty years ago, on her first yoga teacher training at a Sivananda Ashram in Spain, René met Nurgul, a kindred spirit whose path in yoga has continued to inspire.
Their friendship has been woven through shared practice, travels to India, and a shared dream of creating spaces for others to find connection through yoga.
Since then, Nurgul has become an internationally respected teacher, having taught over 15,000 hours of classes, workshops, and retreats around the world. She blends Hatha, Yin, Restorative, Therapy, and Vinyasa Yoga with depth and authenticity, always guiding students toward their own inner wisdom.
Three years ago, Nurgul faced breast cancer with courage, surrender, and devotion to her practice. Through restorative yoga, she found healing and renewal and today, she continues to share her light from her home in Harrogate, England.
This visit marks a full-circle moment. A celebration of friendship, resilience and the timeless power of yoga.

PASS THE LIGHT FOR MADIBA
Now, more than ever, the legacy of Nelson Mandela calls to us. In a time of rising division across race, politics and perspective, Tata’s message of unity, forgiveness and shared humanity feels more relevant than ever.
Mandela believed in the power of light over darkness, connection over conflict and unity over self.
As yogis, we strive to walk a path that mirrors these same values. The word yoga means to unite: to yoke body, mind and heart in service of something greater. It is not just a practice on the mat, but a call to live consciously, to come together and to uplift others.
Join us on Saturday, 19 July 9am at Kommetjie Primary School hall for a powerful morning of movement, meaning, and a candlelit PASSING THE LIGHT FOR MADIBA ceremony.
- 90-minute open-level yoga practice
- With Sarah Bentz, René Ross & Gila Sowter
- R67 from every ticket buys a ball of wool = TWO hand-knitted jerseys for little ones at Ocean View Care Centre
- Remaining proceeds support our three Sacred Sunday charities Living Hope, Hope Town, and St Luke’s Hospice
- Candle-lit unity ceremony
- Beneficiary pop-up stalls
- Nourishing snacks & juice bar
Bring your mat, a blanket, something warm and some cash for snacks.
We provide the candles and you share the light.
Want to help us prepare? We’re collecting empty jam jars to hold our candles. Please drop yours at Soul Space before the event if you have any to spare.
Let’s honor Madiba through yoga, service and unity.
Let’s practice what we believe: to move, to give, to come together.

Jivamukti Chakra Tuning with Sarah Bentz
Date: March 4th, 2025
Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PMarm
Location: Soul Space Studio, Imhoff Farm
Cost:Â R450 per person
Join Sarah Bentz for a transformative 2-hour immersion into the subtle energy body. Using yoga asana, breathwork, intention, and chanting, we’ll explore and harmonize the seven chakras, the vital energy centers within us. The practice concludes with a deeply restorative yoga Nidra, leaving you feeling balanced, energized, and renewed.
According to yogic tradition, chakras serve as junction points between the body and consciousness. When energy flow in these spinning vortices is blocked, it can manifest as physical or emotional imbalances. By tuning into these levels of perception, profound healing and transformation can occur.
Guided by ancient wisdom from the Hatha Yoga Pradipika and inspired by the teachings of Sharon Gannon and David Life, Sarah will lead you on a journey of healing through asana, mantra, and visualization. This experience offers the tools to overcome deep-seated challenges and create positive, lasting change.
Spaces are limited. Secure your spot today and begin your journey to balance and transformation.
