Workshops

Join me for a nourishing and immersive Mala and Mantra Workshop, where I’ll share the beautiful and transformative practice of Japa mantra. You’ll learn how to use your Mala with confidence, so you can integrate Japa Yoga into your own daily spiritual practice.

You’ll leave not only with your own Mala and personal practice tools, but also with a collection of meaningful mantras that you can weave into your classes- helping to unite the class at the beginning and a sense of grounding at the end. (If you have your own Mala- you are welcome to bring it!)

A Rudraksha seed Mala was gifted to me by my school in Rishikesh- a sacred place often known as the birthplace of yoga, on the banks of the holy river Ganga. This simple practice supports my meditation practice through the repetition of mantra. I would love to pass this tradition on to you.

What’s Included:

📿 Your own Rudraksha Mala- blessed in the sacred Ganga River, for you to take home and use in your personal spiritual practice
📿 Guided Mala Meditation- learning the traditional method of Japa
📿 Education on the Mala- its origins, symbolism and respectful use
📿 Introduction to Japa Mantra- how repetition refines concentration and deepens awareness
📿 Explanation of Sung Mantras- meaning, pronunciation and cultural context
📿 Mantra Singing Sheet- with Sanskrit and translations
📿 Mantras for Teaching- simple, accessible chants you can confidently share at the beginning or end of your own classes
📿 Restorative Savasana- to consolidate the practice in a deeply restful way

What We’ll Explore:

The roots and purpose of Japa Yoga

How to hold and move through the beads of a Mala

The significance of Rudraksha seeds in yogic tradition

The energetic and meditative effects of mantra repetition

How mantra can become part of your daily rhythm- whether spoken, whispered or silent

This workshop is open to all- whether you are completely new to mantra, a teacher wanting to share chants with students, or someone looking to deepen their devotional practice. No singing experience is required! Simply, an open heart and curiosity.

It's time to explore the strange, rebellious cousins of the poses you already know.

In this 3-hour deep dive, we'll shake down the usual suspects - handstand and Pincha - and take on the weird ones including:

> Single arm pincha
> Lotus shoulder stand
> Eight-angle pose
> Handstand scorpion

Here’s the plan:
Phase 1: Warm Up: a strong practice to wake up the core and release the lower back
Phase 2: Explore: get down to getting upside down
Phase 3: Science Break: geek out on upper-body anatomy and muscle engagement, with free take-home resources and a quick Q&A
Phase 4: Synthesis: the flashier inversions and balances
Phase 5: Cool Down: shoulder and upper body release and deep relaxation.

If you have a regular practice and are itching to play with the edge of your comfort zone, this is for you. Not for absolute beginners, but if you're working towards greater upper body strength, you'll leave with a clear roadmap of exercises to get you there.

o When we invert the body we use different muscles, we strengthen them and the blood tends to flow in opposite directions. They are challenging poses and that is why we like them as we are able to face them like your challenges in life.. being upside down gives you a sense of freedom and as the blood rushes through the brain feels like stress is released… But like every challenge in life we need to work towards the end result step by step, practicing safely is key, maintain that balance and then eventually rise to the next variation…
o Crow Pose and Crane Pose improve focus and stretch your buttocks (glutes), front of your thighs (quadriceps), and the palm sides of your wrists (wrist flexors). These poses also strengthen your core, upper back, chest, front of your hips (hip flexors), back of your thighs (hamstrings), arms, shoulders, forearms, and back of your wrists (wrist extensors).
o Headstand (Supported Headstand) is an energizing inversion that relies on the strength of your upper body and core, while centering and focusing your mind. Though there are many physical benefits, including building leg, arm, and core strength, this is a challenging pose that you must approach with a “safety first” mentality. The key to this asana is to avoid placing weight on your head and neck. Instead, let your arms and shoulders hold you up.
o Dolphin: Forearm Plank can be a great alternative to standard Plank Pose if you have wrist or hand issues. It improves posture and counteracts the effects of prolonged sitting and doing computer work; it strengthens your core (including the abdominals and back muscles), arms, shoulders, thighs, legs, and feet. Trust Dolphin Plank to help stimulate proper digestion by facilitating movement through the digestive tract (peristalsis). This is a pose that can also boost energy and fight fatigue, help build confidence and increase your sense of empowerment.
o Forearm balance: Builds neck, shoulder, and upper-back strength, Opens the shoulders in a balanced way, Improves emotional and physical strength and balance. Calms the mind and helps relieve stress. Raises energy level.

Myofascial release is a hands-on manual therapy where we use sustained pressure to release tightness, restrictions and pain in the fascia.

Some of the things we’ll cover in this workshop include:

What are fascia are where are they in the body
How are different body parts interconnected
Why and how tension builds up in our connective tissues
How to release tension in the neck, shoulders, back, hips, glutes and feet by using simple techniques
Some take-away tips on how to continue to deepen your practice at home

What to bring:

-Bottled water
-Any tennis balls or similar you may have at home (no worries if you don’t have any, some will be provided!)

Tension-releasing techniques are not only a great alternative to external massage, but they’re a pathway to learning about how to live in our bodies with more awareness and love.

If any of this resonates, we’d love to see you in this workshop!

We’ll show you how to access greater depth in your heart openers; including prone, supine, and inverted postures, as well working on ‘flipped grip’ with or without a strap.

Leave with the confidence to bring these techniques and shapes into your personal practice and better access the benefits of the bendy beasts.

Open to all levels.

The Art of Stillness: Early Summer Ease is an invitation to stay grounded and regulated as life begins to feel fuller and faster. Rather than pushing through the brightness of summer, this workshop offers a calm counterbalance — a place to land, soften, and reconnect.

Through deeply supported restorative yoga and Thai massage therapeutic touch, we’ll explore rest that exists within activity, helping the body and nervous system remain steady, nourished, and resilient.

This workshop is open to all levels. Touch is always offered with consent, and every body is welcome.
