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.”

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.
