In depth training - Spring 2026 workshop

practice development, asana therapy, breath patterning & assisting in the mysore room

dates TBA

Our annual five day intensive is a comprehensive training offering continuing education for teachers & practitioners. The session focuses on practice development through mysore and pranayama sessions, together with afternoon workshops on yoga therapy, the use of breath when practising asana, and adjustment training.

Morning sessions incorporate mysore sessions, advanced pranayama and chanting daily. During afternoons, the emphasis is on therapy of asana (primary, intermediate & beyond), the application of breath within the practice and traditional teaching skills taught through workshopping and practice teaching.

Teachers will have the opportunity to assist in mysore and practice adjustments in a live session with their peers. Practitioners who wish to develop a deeper understanding of their practice will also benefit through the practice, discussions & workshopping of asanas among a supportive community.

This workshop offers 25 hours of continuing education! Certificate of participation is provided .
