Teach Yoga through the lens of the nervous system

Many yoga teachers feel deeply committed to supporting the people who come to their classes, yet feel uncertain when working with persistent pain, anxiety, trauma, or nervous system sensitivity. This free 2-hour introductory workshop explores what it means to teach yoga through the lens of the nervous system. Rather than adding more techniques, we look at how safety, regulation, language, pacing, and the teacher’s own nervous system state shape a student’s capacity to engage with practice. Through clear teaching and simple embodied practices, this session offers practical insight into creating more supportive, inclusive, and sustainable yoga spaces – and an introduction to the approach underpinning The Language of the Body training.

Introduction to Thai Yoga Massage

Let’s re-connect in this world of disconnect. We are Beings of relation by Nature, so no wonder we struggle with the modern lifestyle that keeps creating more and more isolation. Living in this conflict is one of the root causes of all the pain we carry around.

Thai Yoga Massage is a practice of deep connection between two people and offers a beautiful antidote to this conflict. The main principles of this ancient bodywork are: loving kindness, compassion, empathetic joy and equanimity. Thai Yoga Massage is like a meditation in action, with two people on the mat, a sacred dance.

And aside from a chance to experience this connection, this workshop is also an opportunity to learn some fun and delicious moves and stretches that feel great to give and to receive.
