Mayura Yoga Studio

Ten months ago, Paula was in hospital with five fractures.

Last month, she participated as a student in every single one of the 14 final classes of Mayura's 11th teacher training cohort.

Every class! All 14 of them!

And as she moved through each one, the body remembered. The breath deepened. The energy moved. The person who has spent decades teaching others how to come home to themselves gently, steadily, found her own way back.

Paula will be the first to tell you that modern medicine did what it needed to do. But the recovery that followed, the rehabilitation, the return to wholeness, that came from everything she has spent a lifetime learning and teaching. Her understanding of the body, the energy systems, the breath, the mind. The innate capacity we all carry to heal, when we know how to work with ourselves rather than against ourselves.

It was, in every sense of the word, a coming home.

Paula Mayura is back. 🌿

And this weekend she will be representing Mayura at the TruGym 24-Hour Takeover, a fundraising event for the One Love Project and Mind, two causes very close to our hearts. Paula will be offering a special yoga session exploring the chakra system on Saturday, and we could not think of a more fitting return.

If her story has stirred something in you, a curiosity about what yoga really is, what it's really capable of, what might be possible if you went a little deeper, the Mayura Foundation Course begins in October.

Sundays: 11th, 18th, 25th October | 1st, 8th November
Wednesdays: 14th, 21st, 28th October | 4th November

No homework. No exams. Just ten sessions that change how you understand yourself and your practice.

They did it.

Mayura's 11th teacher training cohort have officially qualified, all 14 of them! Fourteen brilliant, courageous, dedicated people who showed up week after week, went deeper than they expected to, and emerged as something new.

🌿 New teachers.
🌿 New understanding.
🌿 New chapters.

We are so incredibly proud of every single one of them.

Teacher training at Mayura is never just about what happens on the mat. It is a journey inward as much as it is a journey into supporting others, into understanding yourself more fully, living the philosophy, and finding a purpose that extends far beyond a qualification.

Watching that unfold in each person, cohort after cohort, never loses its magic.

If you've ever been curious about the deeper layers of yoga, the philosophy, the breathwork, the energy systems, the ancient wisdom behind a practice you already love, our 𝙁𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚 this October is the most beautiful place to begin.

It’s not a commitment to teach and there’s no homework or exam to pass. It is simply 𝙖𝙣 𝙞𝙣𝙫𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙜𝙖 𝙜𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙛𝙪𝙧𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙖 𝙢𝙖𝙩.

We have a feeling it does!

Congratulations to our 11th cohort. We cannot wait to see where you land.

Whatever your body needs right now, rest, strength, stillness, heat, support or simply somewhere to begin, there is a class at Mayura for exactly that.

Mayura has been a sanctuary for this community for years, a space where people come to breathe, to learn, to heal, to find themselves again and to belong to something that nourishes them.

And on a sunny day like this, with the Bodhisattva Tara keeping watch at the door with the sea just beyond, it feels even more magical.

Whether you come to practice in one of our weekly classes, attend a workshop, deepen your understanding through a course, or simply hire this beautiful space for your own teaching or therapies, Mayura welcomes you.

Everything you need is on our website, or simply send us a message. We'd love to have you here.

Many of you already know Tarini from her yoga classes here at Mayura. What you may not know is that she has been a Reiki Master for over twenty years.

Tarini now offers Reiki-Reflexology in our therapy room, a deeply nurturing combination she has developed and refined over decades of practice, working with everyone from cancer patients to the very elderly, and witnessing first hand the profound shifts that gentle, intentional healing can bring.

Life-force energy, guided softly through the feet with a warm and compassionate touch. Reiki naturally flowing to wherever it is needed most, soothing pain, releasing emotional blockages, dissolving stress and returning the body to a deep, settling sense of peace.

Safe and suitable for all ages, from newborns to the frail and elderly. Deeply personalised to you.

And offered here, within a space that already holds so much care.

If something in you feels ready for this kind of nurturing, Tarini warmly invites you to reach out. Even if you just want to ask a few questions.

Anyone who has been part of a Mayura course knows that something happens that goes far beyond the learning. You become family.

Annie was part of our third teacher training cohort, graduating in 2016, and she never stopped being part of us.

She fought cancer with a grace and strength that humbled everyone around her, and yet Annie remained exactly herself throughout, vibrant, positive, shining. Just last summer we were all together in the park, and there was Annie, dancing.

That's how we will hold her in our memories.

Annie passed away on Sunday 19th July, and the loss of her is profound. The Mayura community is deeply saddened by her loss.

To her family and friends, we are holding you with so much love right now. Annie was treasured here, and she always will be.
