  • Feldenkrais Workshop with Anne Robertson – …And Breathe… – Sunday 17 November 2-5pm It is our first and most important habit.

The workshop will put you more in touch with your breathing and connect increased awareness of your breath to the mobility of your chest, spine and shoulders, neck… For anyone who would like to move with more ease. These workshops take place in Bodywise yoga studio and cost £40/£35 concessions (in advance), £45/£40 (on the day), each with a different focus of Feldenkrais. Please book with Anne annerobbo18@gmail.com tel: 07951728862. More information about what Feldenkrais is – Feldenkrais Method

  • Somatic Movement Workshop with Padmadarshini – Finding Home in our Bodies – Saturday 30 November 10.30am-1.30pm This workshop is open to anyone interested in SOMATIC MOVEMENT practices to support wellbeing, greater ease of being, connection to self, relaxation and play. We explore moving from the inside from the sensations and impulses that arise in the moment from your own body and sensations. On this workshop I am going to introduce and explore a mandala of movement principles that I am currently working with. To give you a flavour they include GROUNDING and RELEASING… We will have some live music played by my lovely friend Olivia and I will offer invitations and suggestions for how we can allow ourselves to move and be moved. Open to all – no previous experience necessary. Just comfy clothes and an open mind. £45 or £35 concession. Please book with Padmadarshini directly: padmad3@gmail.com

Yoga & Movement Teachers

All our Teachers are fully trained with a high degree of continued professional development. Find out more about the Yoga Teachers and Movement Teachers.

What kind of Yoga?

We teach dynamic flow sequences harmonising breath and movement which build strength, vitality and fluidity. This is balanced by a quiet yin style yoga practice which cultivates relaxation and stillness. We limit class size to optimise personal attention. In a yoga class you will learn about the core movement principles that underpin the practice of yoga and experience how these develop strength in the body.
