Workshops & Retreats
Discover the powerful impact of longer, themed sessions where we have time for:
‘workshopping’ poses and movements in depth
longer relaxation and meditation portions of practice
discussion and reflection in community on both the physical practice and on specific yoga teachings.
The style of the workshop is experiential learning: a cycle of trying out, reflecting and doing again, which gives you those lightbulb moments of understanding movement skills that you can take away and immediately apply for evermore!
Equal attention is given to doing the vital ‘downregulating’ practices of pranayama , restorative poses and meditation, which cumulatively cultivate a grounded and balanced state of being.
We benefit from the group sharing and reflection to embed this learning and have fun!
Take all this deeper enquiry back to your own home practice, group classes and into your life.
Sādhana - A Yoga Practice Group
Sunday 10th May, 1-5pm
Wilmington, East Sussex
A deeper dive for yoga practitioners who want to develop and evolve their self-practice.
We will be working with asana (the physical practice), pranayama (breathwork), exploring meditation styles, journalling, the study of texts and the purpose of sangha (community).
I’ve wanted to do this for a long time, to create a small group of dedicated practitioners, committing to an evolving self-practice. You don’t need to be ‘good at’ yoga, or have done loads, or to have hours a day to commit to it - What is crucial is the real desire to have and explore a self-practice and the commitment to attend the group events. Of course, try the first one and see if it’s for you. Even if you’re just curious to explore what ‘self-practice’ might mean and could look like (myriad possibilities!), then this first one is for you.
If the group works, I will be running these half days at regular 8-12 week intervals to build on each time. If you’re not sure, please chat to me about it, to understand if it might be for you or not. If you’re a teacher and looking for a supportive and immersive practice group, you are very welcome.
We will be working with things like:
How to build consistency, how to adapt to life circumstances, how to lean in to what you most need (but might not favour), how to make sense of the effects yoga has on us and to support ourselves and each other in that potential, how to work with the complex yoga traditions. Bring your questions. Not for me to answer directly, but to share and see how this kind of co-creative group practice effects your questions and what you find within. I will be offering individual resources for directions you can take in your practice. This will be a co-creative group requiring you to participate and share to some extent.
