Fridays 6-8pm

18 Sep - SUPER SHOULDERS

16 Oct - BRILLIANT BACKBENDS

20 Nov - INCREDIBLE INVERSIONS

SUPER SHOULDERS - EMBODIED SHOULDER ANATOMY

The shoulder is the most complicated joint in our bodies. No wonder that many people experience issues there. In this workshop we will explore shoulder anatomy, how to rehabilitate stiff shoulders, which yoga practices might not be great for the shoulders, and how to practice in ways that are nourishing, rather than punishing for the shoulders.

BRILLIANT BACKBENDS - BUILDING STRENGTH & SUPPORT

The low back and the back of the neck are arguably the most vulnerable joints of the body. Backbends are often said to help our low backs, but they can end up compressing and pinching. Can backbends be done in a way that is nourishing for these areas, rather than punishing? In this workshop we will explore some basic principles that will help make backbends safe and accessible.

INCREDIBLE INVERSIONS - BRING OUT THE BUNSEN BURNERS!

Immersions are the bunsen burners of yoga. In a particular school where I used to teach science, if I mentioned bunsen burner at the beginning of a class, the pupils would get over excited. This often culminated in them behaving so badly it would have been dangerous to get the Bunsen Burner out. Handstands and Headstands have a way of doing the same thing to yoga students!

Is it possible that we can appreciate the preparation as much as the inversion? The prep is the most important part of the practice. There is not really anything else to be gained by actually doing an inversion that you cannot get from the prep.

Will you want to do the inversions at the end of this session? They are entirely optional, and there will be alternatives given that mean you get all the benefits of the inversions without any of the risks.

A supportive supplement to the studies of trainee yoga teachers.

Suitable as CPD for qualified yoga teachers.

Recommended for anyone wanting to go deeper into the anatomy of yoga, or to rejuvenate their spine.

Booking includes access to the video of the sessions for 3 weeks afterwards.
