Sound and Chanting in Yoga
9 May 2026, 9.30am-1pm

Sound is in and all around us; it carries different vibrations that affect us in myriad ways. Our responses to hearing and making sounds are very personal and through self-observation can reveal a lot about ourselves. We will explore how we can use sound to create a deep link to our inner selves and how ultimately it connects us to the world around us.
Take away a rich experience of sound in a yoga practice, an understanding of how to integrate sound and chanting in a class or to use sound and chant as a therapeutic tool.

Yoga invites a journey inwards towards greater awareness, better balance and improved health. By drawing on therapeutic principles, this workshop explores how to gently encourage that journey – meeting each student where they are, honouring individual pace and working with the whole person.
From Trauma to Gentle Reintegration
26 Sept 2026, 9.30am-1pm
Online, £45

According to ancient yoga wisdom life inevitably brings ‘suffering’. We respond to our experiences in myriad ways, some of which are beneficial, others may imprison us in unhelpful behaviour patterns. Our ultimate journey is about rediscovering our inherent wholeness. We will explore this journey in the light of our modern-day understanding of trauma and how we can work in our yoga therapy practice to create conditions for allowing trauma to come into awareness safely, for gradually releasing it and integrating back into a unified and authentic whole. The theory will be complemented by a practice.
New Workshop coming soon

Active Breath- Support for Movement, Digestion and Emotional Stability
15 Nov 2026, 9.30am-1pm

Our breath is vital for sustaining our life. It accompanies our daily life, unconsciously in the background. When bringing it forward into our awareness and engaging actively with it we can turn it into a powerful tool for supporting movement, kindling the fire of our digestion and stabilising tumultuous emotions. We will delve into practicing ‘active breathing’, also known in viniyoga as ‘directional breathing’, outline the biology that underpins it and explore the fundamental supports this active, engaged breath provides.

Breath is a subtle force that sustains life and responds sensitively to everything that happens to us. In yoga therapy breath is one of the fundamental aspects of health that guides our work with care-seekers. This workshops looks at the broad picture of how our breath functions, the effects it has on our overall health, how to restore optimal breathing and how to best apply the tools of pranayama to support people whose breathing is negatively affected by conditions affecting the respiratory system.
