Heading 2

Feb 19th, 2026...(75 mins) 
A light to oneself......
 

Our practice illuminates our physical and psychological blind spots, which leads to a greater self knowledge, in all aspects of our lives.

Watch Class

Jan 29th, 2026...(60 mins) 
Meditation that moves......
 

Meditation is often seen as a sitting practice, which for most, is futile. Involving movement however, can generally be more fruitful. Also, modern yoga often suggests meditation as something you do, whereas, it should be a consequence not an intention.

Watch Class

Jan 8th, 2026...(60 mins) 
It's not about the amount of effort........

 

....................It's about the amount of unnecessary effort.
Do we bring drama and struggle in to our actions, due to fragmented movement. 

​

Watch Class

Nov 20th, 2025...(60 mins) 
Where effort becomes care
 

Within the context of Hatha Yoga, movement is less about flexibility and strength, and more about communication. When we work with the body, rather than against it, effort becomes care.

Watch Class

Oct 31st, 2025...(75 mins) 
Conflict resolution
 

Can we intergrate mind, body and breath in such a way, that there is little or no conflict between them. 

Watch Class

Oct 9th, 2025...(60 mins) 
Bodies are shaped by the way we feel
 

Bodies are shaped by the way they feel, by the things we do regularly, and the ideas around how we should look. Primarily, we are organised neurologically, and not structurally.

Watch Class

Sept 18th, 2025...(75 mins) 
Change for good........
 

If we intend to make meaningful changes, we must do this at a neurological level, which is more subtle and more nuanced.

Watch Class

Aug 29th, 2025...(75 mins) 
A continuous shape change
 

When we explore yoga, our focus isn't imposing something on the breath. It is on refining our movements in such a way, that the breath becomes free from the burden of the constraint of tense muscle.

Watch Class

July 31st, 2025...(60 mins)
Establishing a stable base........
 

......For inward focus. Despite the development of modern non-seated postures, the objective is a stable base, for inward focus. This allows the breathing to be regular, and the body to remain relaxed.

Watch Class

July 4th, 2025...(75 mins)
See what happens, when you let go....
 

We are often encouraged to 'Grab Life by The Throat', and 'Seize the Day', as if our lives permanently depend upon it. We might sometimes be better, to replace this, by seeing what we already have, when we let go.

Watch Class

June 12th, 2025...(60 mins)
Yoga is defined by meditation....
 

The physical work is intended to be a practice, and a preparation of meditation. Many people go to classes and move on a mat for ninety minutes, but can't sit in silence, alone! 

Watch Class

May 23rd, 2025...(75 mins)
Your five a day .......
 

People often ask how much time they should try and dedicate to a daily practice. By starting with five minutes a day, allows us to jump out of our inner story, (mental clutter) and in to our reality (sensation). 

Watch Class

May 2nd, 2025...(75 mins)
Stay in touch.......
 

........It's not a question of 'How far can we go'. It's a question of, 'Can we stay in touch?'
There is a strong correlation between our Well-being, and the way we connect with ourselves.

Watch Class

April 3rd, 2025...(60 mins)
Peace of mind.......
 

This is only possible when there is extraordinary silence. So how do we experience inner silence? Through a mind that can follow a practice, free from conflict, confusion, and ambition.

Watch Class

March 14th, 2025...(75 mins)
It's not one or the other
 

Relaxation and alertness can be seen as opposites. However, relaxation is a skill, and to learn a skill, we must be alert. Therefore, we can't fully relax, until we are fully alert.

Watch Class

February 20th, 2025...(60 mins)
Establishing quietness
 

When we are deeply immersed in sensory experience, the mind goes quiet. That would suggest it's not about what we do, but how we do it that really matters.

Watch Class

January 31st, 2025...(75 mins)
Mindfulness also includes Bodyfulness.
 

Body and breath provide the substrate to a felt sense. Only by witnessing how we feel, can we fully experience presence.

Watch Class

January 10th, 2025.
Undivided attention.. (75 mins)
 

What's important, is not what you are doing, but whether you can give total, undivided attention. By giving total attention to what you are doing, transforms your experience. That's the point!!

Watch Class

November 21st, 2024.
The ossification of postures.. (60 mins)
 

What was once intended to be a steady, comfortable and responsive position, has become a performance of shape making, lacking intelligence, openness and fluidity, leading to an ossification of posture. 

Watch Class

November 1st, 2024.
Inner knowing... (75 mins)
 

Vanda Scaravelli would always encourage students `not to impose on the body, but to follow it'. We should be patient, and move with its innate intelligence, this way, creating virtually no resistance.  

Watch Class

October 10th, 2024.
A moving experience... (60mins)
 

With awareness and patience, we gradually let go of what may be imposing upon these movements, dislodging our physical, emotional and psychological obstructions.

Watch Class

September 19th, 2024.
Where mind meets body....(75 mins)
 

The most direct and transformative work we can do, is that which plays out in embodied awareness. This is where mind and body yield themselves up to an all inclusive, unifying awareness.

Watch Class

August 29th, 2024.
Embodied awareness......(60 mins)
 

Embodied Awareness is drawing on the fact that our sense of self, is in the vital connection with our body. The physical practice increases our awareness, and not the sensation!

Watch Class

August 9th, 2024.
Positions and transitions.... (75mins)
 

How we move, effects the way we feel, and how we feel, effects the way we move. There is an abundance of medical based evidence, confirming that how we move the body, can greatly effect the way we feel.

Watch Class

July 18th, 2024.
Just because you can.... (60 mins)
 

......doesn't mean you should.

Just because you can force the body in to shapes, doesn't mean it is going to help develop comfortable and steady movements, whilst quietening the mind.

Watch Class

June 21st, 2024.
Narrowing the gap.... (75 mins)
 

We can often feel the disconnect between mind and body. This is in constant flux, and is deeply influenced by our current life circumstances. Perhaps a useful enquiry is, how we use the practice, to narrow the gap.

Watch Class

May 30th, 2024.
Where the suppleness... (60 mins)
 

.........is engaged

The release of the body is not something the practitioner does. It is something that is given, when it coalesces in to a harmony and wholeness of movement. 

Watch Class

May 9th, 2024.
Alignment is holistic... (60 mins)
 

...not mechanistic. When we are distracted by mechanical alignment, we unnecessarily increase physical tension. When our interest is holistic alignment, we reduce physical tension.

Watch Class

April 18th, 2024.
Meeting our needs..... (80mins)
 

Our ability to listen to the body is the primary objective. Other than the basic's are we able to understand the needs of the body. Contrary to popular belief, the body doesn't need to be continually stretched, but to be listened to!

Watch Class

March 28th, 2024.
A lack of ambition..... (60mins)
 

We can often become distracted by where we want to be, rather than paying attention to where we are. Letting go of ambition, allows us to experience the deep joy of a personal yoga practice!

Watch Class

Feb 29th, 2024.
Stability promotes mobility (60mins)
 

If balance and movement are to be functional, we must explore grounding, losing tension and paying attention, to promote mobility through stability.

Watch Class

Feb 9th, 2024.
Undoing-ness (75 mins)
 

We can assist the body in this undoing-ness, but ultimately, it has to come from the intelligence of the organism, and not from unnecessary effort. The body has to learn to undo and let go.

Watch Class

Jan 19th, 2024.
Solvere 
 

The word resolution comes from the latin root, solvere, meaning to loosen, melt or release.Yoga is something within us, that can't be sought externally. Therefore, if we resolve what is getting in our way, we reveal yoga.

Watch Class

Dec 1st, 2023.
Deep yoga 
 

Deep Yoga refers to our ability to let go, and drop in to the feeling of oneself, rather than our ability to push in to positions. This is a private, interconnected space, that is personal and immovable.  

Watch Class

Nov 10th, 2023.
Down to earth 
 

How we meet the earth, informs the whole organism, allowing us to move with the slightest of effort. The parts of the body that are in contact with the ground are alive, and lightness comes from that contact.

Watch Class

Oct 19th, 2023.
Prioritise the breath 
 

By prioritising the breath, we are led from the physical practice, to a spiritual experience.

Watch Class

Sept 29th, 2023.
Being is the predominant experience 
 

Being is the predominant experience.
As the movements are a local experience within the broader field of being, can we become comfortable and quiet enough to reveal this fact through our sensations.

Watch Class

Sept 1st, 2023.
The language of presence 
 

The body uses its own language, and it is constantly talking to us. When the body communicates, it's always in the present moment. Many people are unable or unwilling to listen in their first language.........body.

Watch Class

Aug 11th, 2023.
Losing habitual tension
 


Our ability to lose habitual tension in the body is an important part of the physical practice. Are we able to skilfully organise the bones, so our muscles have less work to do.

Watch Class

July 21st, 2023.
A place of being.
 

Yoga is defined by meditation, and meditation can only arise from a place of being. Therefore, we are learning to be.

Watch Class

June 30th, 2023.
Our mat acts as a reminder.
 

When we get caught up in the pace of life, poses are rushed through, and as a result, there is little time to arrive, root down and be still. To cultivate a medative awareness, requires a slowly down, waiting and watching. 

Watch Class

June 9th, 2023.
Rewilding the hips.
 

Our bodies have evolved for ground based sitting. However, due to modern day living, the ball and socket joint of the hips, is being reduced to a hinge joint. Potentially, this can lead to poor health, and reduced mobility.

Watch Class

May 5th, 2023.
Returning to wholeness.
 

The word health or healing derive from the old English word, whole. Yoga is about complete wellbeing, or a reconnection to wholeness, and a retuning to health.

Watch Class

April 6th, 2023.
A Yoga space.
 

Yoga is experienced within space, when the noise and distractions subside. When this is realised, we can begin to slip in to a sense of space wherever we are. Our actions can either reveal is conceal our natural spaces.

Watch Class

March 16th, 2023.
Time to reconnect.(60 mins)
 

The opportunity to bring mind to body, body to floor, and floor to breath in a meaningful way, is through sensitivity, and any form of bracing, prevents us from feeling the pathways within the body. 

Watch Class

February 24th, 2023.
Be moved, by the breath.
 

Just listen to the body, let the breath touch the spine, and then move. You follow, you don't impose, you follow. (Sandra Sabatini)

Is there a way of dropping deeply towards the breath, and be moved by it.

Watch Class

February 3rd, 2023.
A beginners mind.
 

Can we move towards postures, without relying on what we have done before, and see them through a beginners mind. If we can approach them in this way, we respond to what is happening in the present.

Watch Class

January 13th, 2023.
Free breathing.
 

...........in other words, losing tension. When we lose tension, and are able to acknowledge free breathing, our voluntary movements make way for our involuntary movements. This is the beginning of a yoga practice.

Watch Class

November 11th, 2022.
You, witnessing yourself.
 

When we are able to drop in to a quiet sense of self, we can just be a witness, without trying to change or pursue anything. Our practice provides a portal to enter this space.

Watch Class

October 28th, 2022.
Dropping in to our mechanical spaces.
 

Mechanical space provides the potential for freedom. The body moves in relationship to itself and our environment, communicating and organising itself within space. Can we support this potential? 

Watch Class

October 7th , 2022.
Yoga gives us more choice.
 

If we regularly explore our repertoire of movement, we are less likely to become fixed or limited to what we can do. Our Yoga mat provides the perfect space to make this enquiry.

Watch Class

September 12th , 2022.
Non conflicting effort.
 

If our intention is to reduce unnecessary muscular activity, and notice accumulated tension, then measured effort is vital.

Watch Class

August 19th , 2022.
Giving mind to body.
 

When we give mind to body, there is no room for thought to form. The sensations within the body however, can draw us in and quieten the mind, or can potentially disturb and stimulate the mind. You choose!

Watch Class

July 15th , 2022
Finding the place of maximum release.
 

When we find a place of maximum release, balance is a consequence. Equally, if we are unstable, tension and stiffness is a consequence. Here, we use this as our enquiry to deeper exploration.

Watch Class

Yoga is emotional teeth cleaning.
 

A regular (daily!!) yoga practice is an essential way to check in on ourselves.We have been conditioned to clean our teeth twice daily, but there has been little encouragement to regularly reflect upon how we are doing.

Watch Class

Don't just do something, sit there.
 

Just to experience such sustained elemental stillness outwardly and the interior silence that can accompany it is ample reason for arranging ones life to cultivate and breathe this possibility. (JBZ)

Watch Class

April 1st, 2022
Coming to our senses
 

We are becoming more reliant on outsourcing our senses, which in turn diminishes our ability to self regulate. Self regulation is essential for our health, and dropping in to our senses is maybe just what we need. 

Watch Class

March 11th, 2022
Unhindered movement
begins with grounding

It's in the releasing of muscles, which permits freedom of movement. The ability to find skeletal support through our points of contact, is a vital one, to unhindered movement.

Watch Class

Feb 18th, 2022
Your body is your subconscious mind
 

With the understanding that our body is our unconscious mind, we should therefore enter the tissues with care, patience and self compassion. 

Watch Class

A refined approach
 

The asana (postures) are a container for an experience, and not a way of blindly repeating movements. if we are interested in yoga, we have to be interested in how we can refine our approach.

Watch Class

Dec 3rd, 2022
A downward dog is for life,
not just for Christmas

We will be richly rewarded by cultivating a regular practice throughout our lives. This is a proactive approach, rather than a reactive one!  

Watch Class

Nov 12th, 2021
Postures aren't something to be held
 

We are the postures, and therefore, the postures are moving, breathing and attending. They are not something we get in to and hold until we are told to come out.

Watch Class

Oct 15th, 2021
Changing behaviour through our neural perception

Within every practice, I encourage students to respond to how they feel. This is the role of our nervous system, to inform us, and to keep us safe. This is often over looked as yoga students.

Can we meet this moment in it's fulness, without adding anything extra

Can we meet the moment to moment breath and movement, by simply experiencing it in its fulness, rather than trying to add something extra.

An attentive mind is an empty mind
 

When we are fully attentive, our minds don't accumulate, but simply observe what is. We are therefore not thinking, but experiencing.

Learning to stand on our own two feet
 

In this practice, we explore how our feet provide the structural support for the whole body.

There is no bad practice......
 

There is no 'bad' practice, just a wasted one, and a missed opportunity of positive change.
Once we acknowledge the ground beneath, the sky above, and the breath within, its all been worth it!

Bodies need variation......


Movement is an essential part of our wellbeing. If we want to avoid our lives becoming constrained, we must regularly explore our full repertoire of movement.

Right Angles
 

How we organise our bones will determine how much muscular effort is required. Can we skillfully differentiate between muscular effort and skeletal support.

Watch Class

Oct 23rd, 2025...(60 mins) 
A clear intention
 


Historically, a shared intention in yoga is to notice what is disturbing our inner equilibrium, and how we can go about addressing the balance. 

Watch Class

Oct 2nd, 2025...(60 mins) 
Yoga is experiential
 

Hatha Yoga has evolved, and become more complexed, detailed and prescriptive (Top down processing). Scaravelli, brought it back to a simpler, experiential practice (Bottom up processing).

Watch Class

Sept 11th, 2025...(60 mins) 
Addressing the balance........
 

Nowhere in the body, will we find symmetry. Nor can this found in the postures. However, we must challenge certain biases, as these can eventually constrain our ability to move well.

Watch Class

Aug 21st, 2025...(60 mins) Feeling is primary, thinking is secondary
 

Antonio Damasio, emphasises 'we are feeling machines that think, not the other way round'. Our practice, can help us get a clearer map of how we feel, as thought, does not solve the problem of tension.

Watch Class

July 25th, 2025...(75 mins)
Finding contrast
 


An intelligent practice, can provide contrast in our lives, revealing a more relaxed and calmer sense of being, and a much needed reference point.  

Watch Class

June 26th, 2025...(60 mins)
Testing functionality....
 

Convenience is slowly engineering functional movement out of our lives. The physical practice is a useful way of regularly testing and maintaining functional movement, which is the movement, that really matters. 

Watch Class

June 6th, 2025...(75 mins)
I'm not teaching movement....
 

 I'm teaching awareness.
Movement isn't taught, it is learnt. So we change how we move, by bringing attention to it, which changes the way we feel.

Watch Class

May 15th, 2025...(60 mins)
Actions and consequences .......
 

When we refine our actions, we are more likely to experience positive outcomes. The time we spend on our mat, gives us an opportunity of putting this in to practice!

April 17th, 2025...(60 mins)
What we do with the body.......
 

.............effects the way we feel!

By meeting our experience with a clear perception, we can determine how different positions affect the way we feel.

Watch Class

March 28th, 2025...(75 mins)
Making it personal.......
 

............confirms our uniqueness!

Our practice is about being in, and responding to, our personal experience. Following feelings rather than shapes, makes it unique for everybody

Nothing to prove
 

Practice is not about doing, or doing it right. It's about being. Being comfortable, being grounded, being steady and being present.

A radical act of self care
 

Approaching ourselves with calm interest, sincerity, patience and kindness, is a radical act of self care. It begins by giving ourselves time to open, and to get out of our own way.

Watch Class

January 23rd, 2025...(60 mins)
It's not about getting anywhere else.
 

People often confuse meditation, with some kind of special state you have to get to. However, it's simply a practice of noticing how you feel from one moment to the next.​​​

Learning to fly.. (60 mins)
 

To establish smoother, more effortless balance, we must first find a strong and stable support. Only then, can we learn to fly.

Take a seat .. (75 mins)
 

 'Our seat/posture, must be steady and comfortable. The way to become steady and comfortable, is to relax unnecessary effort, move slowly, and be absorbed within our experience. Brute force is explicitly ruled out'.

Watch Class

October 24th, 2024.
Inevitability of change... (60 mins)
 

If we resist change, it can make us mean and unwilling to adapt to what is. Eddie Stern, predominant yoga teacher, found this out to his own detriment of the unwillingness to let go of his Ashtanga practice. 

Watch Class

October 3rd, 2024.
Transformation is a long game (75mins)
 

When we aim for a transformation that is too radical and threatening, or we seek to implement drastic habit changes too suddenly, our fight or flight response may kick in. Transformation is a long game.

Watch Class

September 9th, 2024.
Shifting shapes to feelings....(75 mins)
 

The question needs changing to, 'how can I be'?, rather than, 'what can I do'? If our practice is approached with this attitude, it becomes simpler, more comfortable and a transformative experience. 

Watch Class

August 23rd, 2024.
In and down.......(75 mins)
 

In and down takes us towards a felt sense of being under "our skin", beneath the descriptions, interpretations and reactions that usually clutter the mind. However, this is all dependent on how we approach the body!

Watch Class

August 1st, 2024.
A playful attitude.... (60mins)
 

As we age, we are less inclined to explore our full repotire of movement. Our practice should have a playful attitude, exploring all natural human movement, otherwise, this diminishes, and life can become more restricted.

Watch Class

Meeting yourself.... (75 mins)

Reframing meditation... (75mins)
 

Meditation is a way of being, not a technique. We don't learn to meditate, but we learn to listen, feel and move in a way that reveals a sensitive and intelligent way of being.

A gradual resurfacing..... (65mins)
 

We reveal the key to our own rhythm, which is ancient and primal. It is there, but has been suffocated by so much doing and knowing. We gradually remove the layers, to find this primitive rhythm resurfacing once more.

Befriending our limitations 
 

The modern postural practice has often encouraged students in to the 'unbridled pursuit of unlimited flexibility'. Yoga is about how we relate to our body, not what we do with it. Let's befriend our limitations.

Functioning from a place of being

From awareness comes sensitivity 
 

....................and from sensitivity comes intelligence. This is revealed through being in the body, fully awake. Modern yoga encourages us to stretch and force the body, which dulls it, rather than awakens it.

Striking a balance.
 

As we continue from last week, with the understanding that yoga is defined by meditation, balance can help us explore relaxed effort and allowing things to happen, as we finally get out of our own way. 

Watch Class

Gentleness is not a luxury.
 

Yoga is about coming to our senses. So, as we move towards a sense of self, a gentle approach is necessary, otherwise, we just repeat old unhelpful patterns, which block potential for sensitivity

Watch Class

April 28th, 2023.
Being in stillness.
 

Does our physical practice, draw us inwards towards a sense of being, or are we distracted by the physical doing. The work is developing a quiet mind, rather than perfecting postures, and as a result, a potential for stillness.

Watch Class

March 30th, 2023.
ROM should come by itself.
 

Range of movement should come by itself, and not as a priority. Our ROM is inevitable, our quality of experience is not. The potential for a quality of experience is only through our ability to remain attentive to our actions.

Meet yourself, where you are.
 

We start from experience, and not ideas. This is where we meet ourselves, from the reality of where we are. When we give time for this enquiry, our practice becomes kind, and uncomplicated.

Personal alignment revealed.
 

When we try to align ourselves with some external criteria, we bring about tension and conflict, but when we find support and lose tension, we have the potential to reveal our personal alignment.
