Free Workshops For Our Community
One of the best ways to grow and understand the nitty gritty of your practice is by doing a workshop. In workshops the practice gets broken down into smaller pieces. We can spend focused time going into more specific elements with greater depth and detail, and students can ask questions, which there isn’t time for during a regular class.
The heat is also off ;)
As a way of giving back to you, our community, for dedicating your time to practicing regularly with us we have decided to introduce regular free monthly workshops to support your yoga journey and grow your practice.
These workshops are free of charge and available to those who are currently practicing at the studio and have an active pass or subscription. To enable everyone to come who wants to we have a waitlist for every class so please put your name on there if you see the workshop is already full! Anyone who is booked into the workshop has up to 24 hours beforehand to cancel if they need to, so that waitlisters have the chance to take the spot. The penalty for for cancelling later than 24 hours is £25 (the cost of a workshop).

Conscious Connected Breathwork is based on a simple idea: change the breath, and you change your state of awareness. Using continuous circular breathing — inhaling and exhaling without pauses — the practice helps shift the body out of stress mode and into a more open, regulated state.
Research suggests that intentional breathing can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, lower cortisol, and support the release of natural mood-regulating chemicals. In practice, breathwork creates a pathway between conscious awareness and deeper emotional or unconscious processes.
The technique itself is simple: breathe through the mouth, filling the belly first, then the chest, before releasing the breath without pause or force. Sustained for 45–60 minutes, this rhythmic pattern can lead to emotional release, heightened clarity, and altered states of awareness.
There will be an offering of cacao to enhance the energy field of the heart and help you land more deeply into the body.
Please book into this if you are an active passholder/subscriber only. Cancellation must be 24 hours beforehand without receiving a penalty (£25).

Can't stop the incessant chatter in your head? You're not alone. While meditation won't make it end, it will give you the tools and awareness to notice what's going on inside of you.
Meditation teaches us the skill of focus, pausing and watching our narrative thoughts so that their grip softens and we feel more at ease within our being. Less negative mental loops, more awareness and agency over our minds so we feel more present, spacious and able to respond to the challenges and joys of life. This power of awareness is created and cultivated through consistent practice of meditation.
In this free workshop Raj will give you some structure and a few breathing techniques as a way to focus and ground the mind. We will sit and meditate together at first with some guidance and then in silence.
As an additional support he has created a meditation audio for you to practice to and use whenever you need a little more guidance, available in our our demand library.
Please book into this if you are an active passholder/subscriber only. Cancellation must be 24 hours beforehand without receiving a penalty (£25).

Come to this workshop to build your foundation. Designed to strengthen your Vinyasa Flow practice, we will focus on creating good technique and alignment in which to build our flow.
The Surya Namaskar or Sun Salutation is the base of Vinyasa yoga, done repeatedly throughout class and providing the powerful engine of the Vinyasa practice while also teaching you to synchronise movement to breath so that you can drop into a flow state. It provides the scaffolding for other Vinyasa sequences to be joined together and also built upon.
Expect to learn the Surya Namaskar A & B plus some more modern variations and Warrior postures that always feature in our practice - Virabhadrasana 1, 2 &3, Crescent Lunge, Twisted Lunges, Ardha Chandrasana (Half Moon) with detailed attention on each posture that makes up the sequence
The focus will be on the finding the correct structure and alignment for the body you have, combining technique with curiosity so you leave feeling empowered and confident.
We will also cover modifications, variations and how to use props correctly, especially for those who are new or just starting out with a Vinyasa Flow practice
The workshop will consist of demonstrations and individual corrections for each posture and then everything will be integrated into a flow practice to put it all together.
Don’t miss this one!!

The headstand is a master posture and can seem intimidating. With some guidance and technique it is totally achievable. This is a very popular workshop where Raj will set everyone up to do headstand with some help from both him and assisting teachers.
Crow pose (Bakasana) is another posture which seems daunting until you understand the steps to approach arm balancing and things you can do to get over the fear of falling forward.
In these poses the mind has to reach inside the body to find a quiet space, until a point comes where perfect balance is felt....energetically, mentally, physically and emotionally.
Inversions & arm balances are powerful poses to learn because this approach can resonate throughout your entire yoga practice and beyond.
When we are facing our fears, we are facing the right way!

Breathwork can be any type of breathing practice in which the conscious control of breathing is said to influence a person’s mental, emotional or physical state.
The Breathwork we will be doing for this workshop is known as conscious connected breathing. For this breath practice you are lying on your back and breathing in a controlled and rhythmic way through the mouth for up to 30 minutes.
It combines two inhales and one exhale. The first inhale is in the belly, the second inhale is in the chest, and the exhale releases everything.. As you follow along, you'll experience a heightened sense of presence, a release of tension, and a deeper connection with your inner self.
This deep breathing promotes peace and immediately calms us down as we bring more oxygen into our body. It also connects us to our truth. Our answers lie within, we just need to gain access to them.
Taking full complete breaths makes changes on a physiological level by creating a new balance between consciousness and unconsciousness, while restoring balance in the sympathetic (fight/flight) and the parasympathetic (relax / heal) nervous systems. This breathing exercise releases oxytocin while managing and calming cortisol.
Breathing from the belly unlocks blocked energy and other stresses, allowing you to open up space for solutions, inspiration, and hope. The benefits of this simple and safe practice are many and are often immediate.
