Karmaspace Yoga

A little reminder that my next workshop focuses on two of my dearest practices: Restorative Yoga & Pranayama.

This is a deeply nourishing practice that helps to calm the mind, soothe the nervous system, support better sleep and create space around anxiety and stress.

We’ll explore pranayamas that are particularly supportive as we move into the change of season, helping to settle, replenish and uplift the spirits.

Iyengar Yoga offers an incredible toolkit for exploration and wellbeing — working with the finest detail, supported by the depth of teaching that comes from this beautiful lineage.

Saturday 14 March | 10–12.30

A 2.5-hour embodied practice rooted in the Iyengar tradition and informed by Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. Through asana, considered sequencing and deep pranayama (breath work) we’ll consciously explore the movement from tamas toward sattva — cultivating luminosity, discernment and balanced energy as we transition from winter into spring.

An invitation into stillness and regeneration

A restorative yoga workshop grounded in the Iyengar method, using precise alignment, thoughtful sequencing, and skilful use of props to support deep rest and regeneration.
This is carefully sequenced practice that allows the nervous system to settle, the breath to soften, and the body and mind to release deeply and safely.

We’ll finish with pranayama — simple, healing breath work that supports the nervous system and brings quiet transformation to the deeper layers of the body (the koshas).

Backbends are more than just bending the spine. As the spine and back body open, the front body awakens, helping move the subconscious into the conscious and opening the emotional centre of the heart — a space many of us keep closed, often because we once needed to protect ourselves. Through yoga, we have the chance to feel more open and connected to our Self.

The ropes in yoga kurunta, part of an Iyengar yoga practice, help to create should openings, and work with gravity in a different way to find the backbend (whilst keeping hips firmly gripped). Another great prop to explore the somatic opening of the physical and emotional body.

In backbends, one touches the body physically, mentally, intellectually, consciously and spiritually everywhere.’ — B.K.S. Iyengar

Want to connect to your breath and calm your mind?
Start by understanding the asanas- how the shapes of the body change the breath. This one deeply opens the chest the diaphragm, lungs, and heart: the spaces where breath and energy live.

Try this supported Ustrasana with a chair supporting the dorsal spine.
It’s a powerful way to open the body, awaken prana, release tension, and restore energy.

This pose is incredibly versatile — it can be practiced dynamically or restoratively, depending on your props, approach, and intention. You can also stay in it for longer holds to deepen the effect.

Yoga and the Chakras workshop 7/6/25

Chakras are often talked about in modern yoga, but their roots go way back. While Patanjali doesn’t name chakras directly, he describes Kriya Yoga as the path of inner purification through discipline (tapas), self-study (svadhyaya), and surrender (Ishvara pranidhana). This approach prepares us for deeper awakening by clearing obstacles within.

Later texts like the Hatha Yoga Pradipika give us a clearer map of the chakras and the granthis (knots) that block energy from rising. Each chakra connects to different parts of our physical and emotional experience, and through consistent practice—asana (poses), pranayama (breath), bandhas (body seals), and Kriya Yoga principles—we can begin to clear those blocks and open to greater awareness.

I’ll be sharing insights from this rich system, along with simple, practical tools you can use in your own practice, at my workshop on:

Saturday 7th June, 9am–12:30pm.
Little Hadham Village Hall SG11 2BP

We’ll be scratching the surface of a vast subject, but you’ll leave with knowledge, practices, and handouts to support your yoga journey.

To book, just drop me a DM. I’d love to see you there.

Chakra Yoga Workshop – From Heart to crown
Saturday 7 June 2025 | 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM
Little Hadham Village Hall, CM23 4BE
£35 before 2 June | £40 after

Join me for my second workshop in the Conscious Chakra Practice series, where we journey through the upper chakras — from the heart (Anahata) to the crown (Sahasrara). These energy centers are associated with love, truth, intuition, and higher states of consciousness, including unity, divine connection, and spiritual awakening.

Through asana, pranayama (breathwork), and mantra, we’ll explore how the subtle energies can support a deeper, more curious yoga practice.

This workshop is open to all — you don’t need to have attended Part One. Whether you’re looking to deepen your yoga practice or curious about the chakra system, and breathwork, this is an opportunity to explore yoga beyond the physical.

Inversions are the backbone of an Iyengar Yoga practice for many reasons.. they cultivate mental and emotional resilience, and have deep therapeutic effects eg help anxiety, depression, lift moods, change perspective, help fatigue, headaches, respiratory issues, sharpen our minds .. the list goes on!

They play a crucial role in preparing the mind and body for meditation, pranayama, and deeper yogic practices which become the core practice as we travel deeper into yoga.

Sarvangasana (shoulderstand) is the mother or queen pose - it calms, cools and nourishes.

Sirsasana is the father or King pose - it builds strength and mental clarity, focus and courage.

Adho Mukha Vrksasana - handstand brings vitality, confidence, is uplifting and reduces stress.
