Please join me to celebrate the publication of my new poetry pamphlet, Heronless. Online and in person launches this Spring.
In this workshop we will practice a mixture of standing, seated and inverted asana, looking at the actions in each posture to gain a deeper understanding and to experience the asana in new ways. The latter part of the workshop will include some restorative practice to rest the body after the stronger asanas, and to come into a quiet/meditative practice which is such an important part of our yoga practice as a whole.
This workshop is suitable for those with 2+ years of Iyengar yoga practice
Using wall ropes in our Yoga practice is something many yogis may be less familiar with, due to a lack of access locally. Now, at Vishuddha, we are able to offer this wonderful part of the Iyengar Yoga method. In this workshop we will look at how wall ropes can help us to lengthen our spines in various postures, including inversions (alternatives can be given if inversions are not appropriate), and can take pressure out of wrists, neck and shoulders. We will also experience how this way of practicing can strengthen our bodies in different ways.

The Realization Process is an embodied non-dual meditation practice which guides us home to our deepest selves allowing us to feel we belong in and are not separate from our world. This workshop is an invitation to explore meditation as a way to access your creative voice and poetry writing as an avenue of self expression.
Each session will include meditation practices and writing prompts exploring themes such as Meanings of Belonging, and Healing in times of Loss & Grief
As we deepen our yoga practice, we undertake a journey inwards from the experience of our "flesh and bones body" (stula sheriram) towards the deeper, less visible, experience our subtle body (suksma sheriram). This session with Iyengar teachers Jacqueline Mangold and Sophia Argyris explores ways of bringing our concentration to sattvic asanas, mantras and pranayamas, leading us to a more meditative practice.
