  • Workshop Description
    A full-spectrum weekend designed to balance effort and ease, this workshop series blends deep stillness, dynamic movement, and inversion mastery to elevate your practice.

    🌙 Friday 25 April / 18.30 – 20.30
    Chill Out (Yin Yoga & Taoist Philosophy)


    Ease into the weekend with a grounding Yin Yoga session, embracing stillness, breath, and Taoist wisdom to set the tone for deep transformation.
    Yin Yoga invites us to slow down, surrender, and embrace the present moment with deep awareness. In this class, we’ll explore the profound wisdom of Taoist philosophy, drawing inspiration from the Tao Te Ching:

    "The Master arrives without leaving,
    Sees the light without looking,
    Achieves without doing a thing."

    Through long-held, meditative postures, we’ll cultivate inner stillness, patience, and deep release, allowing the body to open and the mind to settle effortlessly. No matter what is happening around you, this practice will guide you toward calm, clarity, and profound relaxation.
    Come ready to slow down, let go, and truly chill out.

    Hands Down, You Can Handle It! (Arm Balances & Core Integration)

    Build the strength, stability, and confidence to take flight in arm balances and transitions, refining your core engagement, shoulder mechanics, and energy efficiency for a light and effortless lift-off.
    Have you ever wanted to float into an arm balance or hold an inversion with ease? This workshop is designed for anyone drawn to the art of balancing on their hands—whether you're just beginning or looking to refine your technique.
    We’ll break down the key elements of hand-balancing, focusing on shoulder stability, core integration, and efficient movement mechanics to help you build strength and confidence in these challenging postures. Through dynamic Vinyasa sequences, we’ll explore smooth transitions, balanced actions, and energy efficiency, making arm balances feel lighter, more controlled, and even joyful!
    Expect partner work to deepen your biomechanical understanding and offer hands-on support as we lift, balance, and defy gravity together.
    Come discover how strength and suppleness work hand in hand, and take home a renewed sense of power, lightness, and playfulness—both in your practice and in life!

    ☀️ Sunday 27 April / 09.30 – 11.30
    Meet the Royals (Headstands & Shoulder Stands)


    Explore the king and queen of yoga poses, learning proper alignment, variations, and biomechanical principles to make inversions feel strong, steady, and easeful.
    Whether you seek power, play, or peace, this immersive experience will deepen your awareness, refine your technique, and leave you feeling energized and centered.
    Headstands and shoulder stands have long been revered as the crown jewels of yoga, offering profound physical, mental, and energetic benefits. These inversions invigorate the body, calm the mind, and bring a fresh perspective to your practice—but like all royal pursuits, they require preparation, alignment, and grace.
    In this workshop, we’ll build a strong foundation, activating the core, opening the shoulders, and lengthening the hamstrings to create a safe and sustainable inversion practice. Once properly prepared, we’ll explore variations of these two noble poses, discovering both their empowering strength and soothing stillness.
    Whether you’re new to inversions or refining your skills, join us to turn your world upside down with confidence, ease, and a sense of play!
