Free Workshops For Our Community
One of the best ways to grow and understand the nitty gritty of your practice is by doing a workshop. In workshops the practice gets broken down into smaller pieces. We can spend focused time going into more specific elements with greater depth and detail, and students can ask questions, which there isn’t time for during a regular class.
The heat is also off ;)
As a way of giving back to you, our community, for dedicating your time to practicing regularly with us we have decided to introduce regular free monthly workshops to support your yoga journey and grow your practice.
These workshops are free of charge and available to those who are currently practicing at the studio and have an active pass or subscription. To enable everyone to come who wants to we have a waitlist for every class so please put your name on there if you see the workshop is already full! Anyone who is booked into the workshop has up to 24 hours beforehand to cancel if they need to, so that waitlisters have the chance to take the spot. The penalty for for cancelling later than 24 hours is £25 (the cost of a workshop).

The headstand is a master posture and can seem intimidating. With some guidance and technique it is totally achievable. This is a very popular workshop back for the second time, where Raj will set everyone up to do headstand with some help from both him and assisting teachers - in our last one everyone got up!
In this pose the mind has to reach inside the body to find a quite space, until a point comes where perfect balance is felt....energetically, mentally, physically and emotionally.
It’s a beautiful and powerful pose to learn because this approach can resonate throughout your entire yoga practice and beyond.
When we are facing our fears, we are facing the right way!

This workshop is an offering with a primary focus on helping you reflect and release the past year and envision and plant seeds for your growth and expansion in the coming year.
Breathwork is an amazing tool to bring your heart's energy in and integrate it into your envisioning process.
In this workshop, Bahar will support you in stripping away the parts of your life that you are ready to let go of which will reveal a more clear vision and plan for you in the new year. You will leave this workshop feeling so clear about what you truly want to create. Also, you will feel more connected to you and a deeper part(s) of you that you won't have access to in day-to-day life.

Come to this awesome workshop so you can strengthen your Vinyasa Flow practice, as we dive in deeper looking at creating solid foundations in which to build our flow. Breaking everything down and then consciously putting it all back together again!
In this workshop we will break down the Surya Namaskar A & B plus some more modern variations, with detailed attention on each posture that makes up the sequence with a focus on getting correct alignment in each one.
We will also cover modifications, variations and how to use props correctly. Especially for those who are new or just starting out with a Vinyasa Flow practice, which you can then gradually build on to and create a strong powerful practice.
Then we will focus on the Warriors that always feature in our practice - Virabhadrasana 1, 2 &3, Crescent Lunge, Twisted Lunges, Ardha Chandrasana (Half Moon) finding the correct structure and alignment for the body you have.
The workshop will consist of demonstrations and individual corrections for each posture and then everything will be integrated into a flow practice to put it all together.
