Are you suffering from pain? Feeling frustrated because it’s just not getting better no matter what you do? Feel like your body has begun to give up on you? Wanted to try yoga but worried it may do more harm than good? 

The workshop will provide valuable tools in how to make movement your medicine, empowering you to take back control of your health and well being. 

Having the combination of Osteopathy and yoga is extremely powerful. Osteopathy adopts the evidence-based holistic approach needed to face on-going or long term injuries, health worries and reconnecting mind, body and spirit. 

The NEXT session targeting shoulder and neck pain will cover:
1) How to listen to the body, understanding why pain exists and learn what not to do and what to do, to help you experience ease within each of the few selected yoga poses which is key to preventing further injury.
2) What it means to stretch – to induce a sensation of ‘oh that feels good’ as opposed to ‘Grrr…this is probably good for me’.
3) What flexibility means; how we can open up to unload the strain/restriction to bring about efficiency in movement.
4) How to improve control and practice without pain by slowing down 
5) For specific inquiries from each individual when discomfort is felt, we would like to take the time to explore by deconstructing the pose piece by piece—from optimal feet placement to optimal head placement, and everything in between. By sharing, we not only find that you are not alone – that pain associated with yoga practice is not only a common complaint, but a common learning ground that may apply or provide insight to you. Learning through movement by breaking harmful habits and building measurable improvement. And we are here to help. 

Joshua Fein-Brown, M.Ost, DO, ND – a fully qualified and registered Osteopath and Naturopath is an expert in movement specialising in pain management and Emma Roberts from MoreYoga. 

Is headstand intimidating for you? 

We’ve all been in a class where yoga teacher say and if headstand is in your practice…. but how do you practice it safely?

In this workshop you will have the time and space to explore the pose and variations in a safe environment, working on building them step by step, gaining strength, stability and confidence. 

The aim of this workshop is to provide a solid foundation for your inversion practice focusing on the tools required for headstand and other inversions.

This workshop will be great for students who are new to inversions and also those who are just looking for a bit more reassurance that they’re on the right track to going upside down

This workshop is a mix of reiki energy and sound medicine for your mind, body, and soul. Rachael uses a mix of Reiki as well as Sacred Sound to bathe you in a sonic blanket of relaxing and healing frequencies.

We start the evening with a short introduction to the benefits of Reiki with Sound Therapy and the heart math breathing technique, before laying down to be enveloped in a long sound bath using Gong, Tibetan bowls, koshi bells and voice. We’ll be working with your conscious, your subconscious and your unconscious mind as well as your physical and energy body to release stress and rebalance all your systems. I’ll help you create a deep feeling of calm and balance, whilst raising your vibration to connect you to your true self. Many people report feelings of elation, floating, out of body experiences and a deep unrivaled relaxation when experiencing sound therapy.

There will be space for sharing and Q&A about your experience afterwards if you wish to share, although privacy is also respected.

PLEASE ARRIVE PROMPTLY AS THERE IS NO ENTRY ONCE WE START.

***Please note you may wish to bring a bottle of water, wear comfy clothes & bring additional layers if you tend to get cold. Blanket and yoga mat provided.***
*** Not suitable for the first or last trimester of pregnancy, people who struggle to sit or lay flat for the duration of the workshop and people who are particularly sensitive to sound including sufferers of PTSD which may be triggered by sound.

The spine is such an integral part of our body, but how often do we take the time to really focus on giving it some care and attention? So many of us spend our days sitting down at work, or bent over cycling, or working on certain muscle groups at the gym and neglecting the ones that run all the way down our body.

Explore all the movements of the spine through dynamic flows that get you moving in this workshop. Designed to stretch and strengthen your back, the sequences will loosen you up and allow you to connect with your body, and the restorative yin practice that follows will release all your tight areas and work deeper into the connective tissues and fascia. After 2 hours, you’ll leave feeling completely relaxed and soft from the inside out.

Join Alec for a two hour practice of going deep within the cocoon of yourself. You will experience Supported Postures that take you into a state of absorption and true self reflection. When we find ourselves in supported postures for an elongated period of time, the body allows the parasympathetic nervous system to activate. In this rejuvenating container created by our own bodies, we are able to process our life, emotions, and EMBRACE what yoga is teaching us. If you have any injuries, they will be personally addressed. Wear loose fitting clothes & come to Relax Deeply.

Alec’s eye for attention will upgrade your standing postural practice and take you to the next level of integration. We will journey through the primary standing postures that create the foundation of your life. Many of the postures, (english names provided)  Downward dog, Wide Legged forward fold, Triangle, Extended side angle, warrior B, and more are where we will spend majority of our time in. When properly aligned in each posture, to the individual, a certain feeling is felt- and through this, there is an afterglow. This afterglow effect of Yoga is what we seek, to create a sense of calm in our everyday lives, thus living, Yoga On The Inside. Come find the Foundation of your life through your yoga practice with Alec in this two hour module. 

BackwardBends are said to be the gateway to helping us see where we are going in our lives. A Backbend that is found in integrity is ensured to create safety and longevity of the spine. Many of us live our lives sitting down, face hunched over a computer or phone (I’m guilty of this!) and it is important to TEND to the condition our lives are subject to experiencing, in order to transcend it. This will be a Lunge Heavy practice that will lead us into learning how to safely use props. If you experience back pain, we will address several postures that you can take home with you and even do while at work or in the office. Come and feel what it means to stretch the upper back with props & learn how to integrate a healthy backbend into your life! Free your spine!
