About the workshop - starts at 4pm - finishes at 5.30pm

For those who want a challenge in their yoga practice, this dynamic workshop will teach all the steps you need to take to achieve a harder yoga pose, as well as enhance your yoga practice on a different level. We will take extra care with each person, showing different variations to suit everyone and using plenty of props to support your body during this workshop. You will not be forced to do anything that feels uncomfortable or is out of your depth as this is a relaxed and fun event. 

THIS WORKSHOP IS NOT FOR COMPLETE BEGINNERS TO YOGA - only come to this workshop if you have done yoga before, feel confident with your usual practice, can comfortably do yoga on both hands and knees as well as getting up and down from your mat, don't have a bad back or bad knees and find gentle yoga / mixed-ability yoga classes relatively easy (you don't have to be good at balancing to do this workshop). If you aren't sure, please get in touch and call us and we can advice you on whether or not we feel this workshop is suitable for you. 

It is an intermediate class, not advanced - this means that we are not expecting you to be perfect or highly skilled at yoga, we just need you to have at least a good amount of experience in general yoga practice so that you aren't throwing yourself in the deep end. 

About the instructor

What do I need?

Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy, free movement. Extra layers is also important to bring in case it's chilly, although in some parts of the workshop, you may get hot. The hall will have heating, but it's always good to have backup. Bring a bottle of water with you so you can stay hydrated - there is a kitchen to refill water bottles. If you need an inhaler, you must bring it to the workshop. If you take any medication during the time of this event, please remember to bring it and inform us of any medical conditions when booking. There will be mats, blankets and cushions at this workshop, however if you have a yoga mat, we ask that you bring it in case we get a high number and all the spare yoga mats get used up.

Is this suitable for me?

If you have any questions at all, or if you are unsure whether or not the workshop is right for you, please get in touch before booking. We try to adapt and cater the classes to suit most people, however if you have any disability, injury, recently recovered from surgery, or struggle physically with moving / walking, you must get in touch before booking so that we can assess if the workshop is suitable and safe for you as we may be able to come up with adaptations that allow you to participate still. There are chairs at the hall if you prefer to sit during the relaxation rather than lay down. If you struggle with loud noises/music or strong smells or bright lights, please let us know beforehand so we can discuss if there are ways in which we can make adaptations to allow you to feel comfortable at this event. There will be a diffuser with natural essential oils, so if you have allergies, asthma or your throat gets irritated easily, then please let us know so we can avoid using the diffuser.

Health & Safety

It is your responsibility when booking that you inform us of any allergies, medical conditions or physical disability (Physical disability is defined as a “limitation on a person's physical functioning, mobility, dexterity or stamina” that has a 'substantial' and 'long-term' negative effect on an individual's ability to do normal daily activities.) You take part at this event at your own risk as everything has been risk assessed and the yoga instructor is a qualified yoga instructor, but all forms of movement can have at least a small risk of injury depending on the persons body, health or past injuries. Instructions during activities will be given clearly, with adaptations and variations to suit different people, but only you can feel what is right for your body and where your own limits are. It is important you do not push beyond what feels right for you.
