A two-hour workshop to explore poses, breath and practice — from a fresh perspective
I’m really excited to offer this workshop. Yoga Upside Down is a small-group, two-hour session designed to help you understand Hatha Yoga poses more deeply, with time, space and individualised guidance that we don’t always have in our regular weekly classes. You can book your place here.
Rather than moving through a flowing sequence, this workshop is about slowing things down. We’ll take time to warm up carefully, then explore key poses in detail — looking at alignment, strength, mobility and how each posture works in your body. There will be plenty of hands-on assistance (always optional), thoughtful use of props such as blocks, straps and the wall, and lots of opportunity to ask questions as they arise.
The playful title Yoga Upside Down reflects our willingness to turn things around — both physically and mentally. We’ll work with familiar shapes like forward folds and backbends, and also explore poses that involve weight-bearing through the arms or going upside down. This may include shoulderstand, crow, and introductory work towards inversions such as headstand or handstand. Whether you’re already practicing these poses or simply curious about how to approach them safely and confidently, this workshop will meet you where you are.
Alongside the physical practice, we’ll also touch on the wider context of yoga. We’ll discuss the importance of breathwork and how it supports not just the asana practice, but some of the other limbs of yoga too — offering a reminder that yoga is more than just the shapes we make on the mat.
Timing and structure
The workshop runs from 11:30am–1:30pm. You’re very welcome to attend it on its own, but ideally you might choose to come to the 10am Saturday Hatha Yoga class beforehand as a flowing warm-up, then stay on for this relaxed, exploratory session. You can book either or both — entirely your choice.
What to bring and wear
A yoga mat (or let me know if you’d like to borrow one)
A large cushion or good pillow
Thick socks
A blanket or thick towel
Water or a herbal tea in a flask
Comfortable clothing you can move easily in
Optional: a notebook if you’d like to take notes
Yoga props will be provided but you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer. This workshop is open to anyone with some experience of yoga who wants to deepen their understanding, build confidence, and enjoy a supportive, curious atmosphere — with plenty of learning, exploration and a little light-hearted fun along the way.
Tickets cost £30 per person for the two hour class
If you love the idea but would prefer to learn privately, just drop me a message — 1-to-1 tuition is available.
