Many movements our body makes either begin or pass through the core and without good core strength the body becomes imbalanced and puts undue stress on other parts of our body to compensate. Strengthening your core is much more than getting a flat tummy or 6-pack abs, it is about creating stability throughout the whole […]

In this three-hour workshop Ruth will weave together philosophy, mythology, history and practice. The session will begin with outlining the key doctrines of yoga philosophy and share mythological maps which can add depth to our practice. Ruth will use sitting and moving practices to explore not only philosophy and mythology but to give a sense of the historical development of practices over the last 2000 years. We will conclude the session by reviewing the integration of history and philosophy into practical sessions and have plenty of opportunity for discussion. Yoga has the potential to become embodied philosophy, illuminating and expressing ourselves and resonating throughout our lives.

During this 20 hour philosophy programme, Ruth integrates the history and philosophy of yoga with a keen appreciation of the questions and concerns of curious yoga students and working yoga teachers. Ruth will offer five history and philosophy sessions and one practical workshop focused on weaving these ideas into sitting and moving practices.

Back by popular demand, Rebecca will guide you through this beautiful, flowing Yang sequence designed to balance the deep work done in a Yin Yoga session.  The flow emulates a magnificent dragon taking flight and swooping through the air.  You will strengthen muscle tissue and improve your stamina, balance, co-ordination and concentration as you learn this empowering “Dragon Dance”.  The session will end with some deeply relaxing Yin Yoga and a guided meditation to leave you feeling calm and centred.

As with all Rebecca’s sessions, everyone is welcome as you work at your own pace and ret if necessary.

In Yin Yoga students work the deep ‘yin’ tissues of our ligaments, bones, joints and connective tissues, complimenting our dynamic and active modern lifestyle. Whether you are a keen cyclist, runner, sports person or spend a lot of time running around at work or after the family, you will find a meditative yoga session with Janet. Yin yoga is yielding, allowing and nourishing, enabling you to increase your range of motion, maintain a healthy spine whilst calming the mind.

Janet will follow up the Yin session with an hour of restorative yoga using the hammock. This will enable you to release any tension and float away.

Places for this workshop are strictly limited to 17 so book early to secure your place.

We are all unique. Although we are built to the same template we are different both physically and emotionally. This means that our yoga is also unique to each and every one of us and we feel and look differently to everyone else. This is how it should be but we are seduced by those […]

Martyn will guide you through subtle breathing practices to calm the mind, invigorate the body and energize the chakras, as well as healing mantras (sound vibrations) to stimulate the pituitary gland and subtle consciousness.

The asana flow stretches, tones and strengthens the entire physical body with a particular focus on opening the heart chakra. After all that effort you will experience a final guided meditation in deep relaxation – a yoga nidra to recharge and rejuvenate the entire physical and mental system.

The practice is appropriate for students of all levels, from beginner to lifelong practitioners and accessible to so many because it meets each student where they are and according to their condition.
