Global Yoga Therapy Day – Shining a Spotlight on the Transformative Power of Yoga for Health
Yoga Therapy: Gentle Process or Cure?
10am-11am
Your Invitation to a Free Workshop Online
When there is suffering due to a health condition the prevailing hope is for a cure. What does Yoga Therapy provide?
Yoga Therapy adopts a variety of ways to support each individual in their journey with health. The overall aim is to bring a person back to functional day-to-day living, to stengthen health and resilience, and potentially dive deeper into the very personal root causes of a disease.
Join us for a presentation, a case study and a lively discussion on Yoga Therapy: Gentle Process or Cure?
From Trauma to Gentle Reintegration
26 Sept 2026, 9.30am-1pm
Online, £45
According to ancient yoga wisdom life inevitably brings ‘suffering’. We respond to our experiences in myriad ways, some of which are beneficial, others may imprison us in unhelpful behaviour patterns. Our ultimate journey is about rediscovering our inherent wholeness. We will explore this journey in the light of our modern-day understanding of trauma and how we can work in our yoga therapy practice to create conditions for allowing trauma to come into awareness safely, for gradually releasing it and integrating back into a unified and authentic whole. The theory will be complemented by a practice.
The Complex Back: Navigating Chronic Pain with Compassion
18 Oct 2026, 9.30am-1pm
Online, £45
This workshop supports yoga teachers to work with back pain through two essential strands: a staged, physical practice approach and a nervous system–informed, psychological approach to pain. Learn how to guide students safely in stages from early stage through to recovery phases using intelligent movement, while also addressing the deeper drivers of pain, including stress, sensitivity, and chronic patterns.
Combining yoga therapy with modern pain science, you’ll explore how breath, awareness, and regulation practices can transform the experience of persistent pain. Deepen your understanding, ask questions, and leave with practical tools you’ll feel confident bringing straight into your teaching.
Active Breath- Support for Movement, Digestion and Emotional Stability
15 Nov 2026, 9.30am-1pm
Online, £45
Our breath is vital for sustaining our life. It accompanies our daily life, unconsciously in the background. When bringing it forward into our awareness and engaging actively with it we can turn it into a powerful tool for supporting movement, kindling the fire of our digestion and stabilising tumultuous emotions. We will delve into practicing ‘active breathing’, also known in viniyoga as ‘directional breathing’, outline the biology that underpins it and explore the fundamental supports this active, engaged breath provides.

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.

Maladaptive interoception can be a factor in many of our contemporary health issues; from burnout, chronic illness, anxiey or emotional dysregulation.
Cultivating interoception through yoga and using the body as an intelligent guide can change this.
