This in-depth workshop provides eight fundamental principles of good practice in yoga therapy, offering yoga teachers practical and accessible ways to deepen teaching and support students. Based on the wisdom of the eight limbs of yoga, these principles support teachers to provide person-centred teaching and support students to deepen their somatic experience—enhancing more active participation in their own health and wellbeing.

Yoga invites a journey inwards toward greater awareness, better balance and improved health. By drawing on therapeutic principles, this workshop explores how to gently encourage that journey—meeting each student where they are, honouring individual pace, and working with the whole person.”

The body has an inner intelligence and wisdom and this experiential yoga workshop is designed to connect to this inner sense of self—interoception. 

Interoception is sometimes called the “sixth sense,” and is the ability to feel more subtle internal signals such as heartbeat, breathing, and emotions. It plays a vital yet often under-recognised role in health, resilience, and emotional balance. Some researchers consider that maladaptive interoception “may lie at the heart of many contemporary maladies”


Combining scientific understanding with yoga understanding and embodied practice, we will explore how cultivating interoceptive awareness can improve wellbeing and help prevent or manage chronic illness, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation. 

Looking at the science behind interoception and its disruption can inform more understanding of various health issues—from stress-related conditions to burnout and autoimmune disorders.

Through yoga, the body can be experienced as an intelligent guide for health and wellbeing especially when yoga practice occurs from the inside out.

  • Theory Section: Interoception, its role in the mind-body connection, and its impact on health versus disease.
  • Guided Practice: Experience mindful yoga practice with breath awareness and somatic techniques to explore the ideas of interoceptive awareness.
  • Reflection: Consider the connections between interoception, health and disease.

Throughout time 

The breath was seen as a force

That ran through mind, body and spirit 

Like a river running through a dry valley

Giving sustenance to everything in its course.

Breath is a subtle force that sustains life and responds sensitively to everything that happens to us. In yoga therapy breath is one of the fundamental aspects of health that guides our work with care-seekers. This workshops looks at the broad picture of how our breath functions, the effects it has on our overall health, how to restore optimal breathing and how to best apply the tools of pranayama to support people whose breathing is negatively affected by conditions affecting the respiratory system. 

Guided Practice: Breath Observation And Directional Breathing

Key Points of Theory:

  • How do we breathe?
  • Why is breath so important?
  • What are the main characteristics of functional breathing?
  • Directional Breathing
  • Respiratory Conditions and How to Work with them
