Yoga in Somerset

Yoga class schedule - week commencing 7th September 2026

Last week I had the pleasure of talking to J. Brown Yoga on his excellent yoga talks podcast. We talked about what a spiritual yoga entails and how we can train ourselves in spiritual development.

J wanted to know how I had got into yoga in the first place. He asks really interesting and probing questions that lead right to the depth of the topics he chooses.

I highly recommend his podcast which has an enormous variety of fascinating interviews all about yoga and spirituality.

Yoga in Italy for Expansion and Depth *2 SPACES LEFT*
15th - 10th October 2026
The Sun Oasis Lundo, Trentino Northern Italy
£480 - This includes 5 nights accommodation, 4 days tuition, two vegetarian meals per day for 4 days, and transport from Bergamo airport.

An opportunity to expand your horizons and open up new depth.

Lundo is the home of the so-called Sun Oasis, a place of connection and dialogue for people who want to bring a living spirituality to the world.

Over the last few years, a new culture has been developing in the Sun Oasis, inspired by the ideas of spiritual teacher Heinz Grill, who resides there.

The idea behind this culture is that those universal principles of harmony and connection which operate on a spiritual plane should find expression in a tangible form in all sorts of areas of life.

On this trip you will have a chance to experience a variety of newly emerging cultural developments.

In this new yoga culture, the classical yoga asanas (poses) have been given an artistic richness and depth.

Each asana is practised with thoroughness and consciousness, making it possible to achieve poses we would never have thought possible, with a lightness and gracefulness, calmness and focus.

Each pose expresses a deep meaning for the soul and for our personal development, as detailed in Heinz Grill’s many yoga books.

You will quickly experience various health benefits:
- Your posture will improve.
- Your spine will become stronger and more flexible.
- Your energy levels will increase and you will feel both calmer and more alert.

But in addition to the immediate physical and mental benefits, through yoga we can develop a longer term inner strength that can help us to become more resilient and take charge of our lives. This beginners course will give you a first sense of how this works.

Week-by-week you will gain confidence in your practice as you learn and repeat the movements, and understand their principles more fully.

Our theme in this session was "Letting go happens both on a physical and mental level".

In sarvangasana, the shoulderstand, Rob demonstrated beautifully how through a gentle mental focus the shoulders could relax and the whole body could rise up to become both upright and relaxed at the same time.
