2021 Workshops for Yoga Teachers

Join me for these lively 3-hour sessions designed to integrate theory and practice via online interaction.  Each of these workshops is on a Saturday afternoon, book via the link and you'll receive the zoom link to join.

The Hip Filament • 6th Feb 2021

The hip is a filamentous flow of tissue that cascades through the diaphragm anteriorly, continuous with the thoracolumbar fascia posteriorly. When we treat it like a waterfall, rather than a bolt or screw, we can tap into the mindset of new paradigm movement.
Using props and progression techniques, participants will learn an approach to awakening hip awareness.
Paired participants will explore how to adjust others in the external hip spirals, and everyone will learn a few ideas for self-adjustment at home. £30 (normal discounts apply)

Shoulder Care • 6th March 2021

No matter how 'strong' we are, the shoulder joint is a paradox. It is evolving for mobility, rather than for stability. Yet, in dynamic yoga, we would have them behave more like legs. Why do we do that?
 
From downward dog to handstand, yoga seems to be a project for regressing evolution to make our arms into a second set of legs (and vice versa). In this specialist online workshop, participants will learn how to work with the natural spirals in the shoulder to help ease the upper limbs into a greater range of motion for a lifetime of stability. £30 (normal discounts apply)
BOOK NOW

Core Restoration • 3rd April 

Your core is a state of mind, not an anatomical region. We can expand and find core, we can converge and find core; stability is the essence of core.

Using props and progression techniques, participants will revise their understanding of "firmness" as part of the journey toward recalibrating the experience of strength. This workshop is suitable for those with some experience of yoga, especially designed with yoga teachers in mind. Anyone practising with a partner from home will be encouraged to try the paired options. £30 (normal discounts apply)
