I’m a firm believer in self practice. It was how I was taught for six years before heading to Mysore where again all classes are taught via self practice.
Unfortunately the only system that ever taught yoga this way was Ashtanga until Matthew created VKM which also taught self practice (of course since Matthew was from an Ashtanga background).
This is one of the best things Ashtanga gave me but what I noticed in the West was that Ashtanga was not so accessible to everyone. Which is why I learned VKM. Added again although there is a lot of variation in VKM and since Matthew was getting a lot of Ashtangis not every sequence was again accessible for everyone. Hence I created a sequence which is accessible for self practice based on the students I have and also combining some of my own favourite movement practices from Feldenkrais and Scaravelli. It is also just fun to create and have freedom to combine what can be beneficial for students. However still having the container of a sequence.
I believe self practice should absolutely be available for everyone. People of all ages and abilities practising together but doing their own practice to their own breathing and where the practice can be modified and adjusted for each individual!

Homeopathy! My other love along with yoga.
Two more assignments to go and year 2 will be complete. I’ll have another 2 years to go but next year I’ll be able to start clinic with Supervision.
We are not just a physical body. The physical is just a manifestation of our emotional and mental planes. What a wonder it is to watch the body manifest and adapt where it needs to. The body’s own intelligence is fascinating if only we would get out of our own way. When we cut a finger we do not need to tell the body what to do in order for it to heal the finger, it just does it with an intelligence. For times when that intelligence is slow or sluggish that’s where Homeopathy comes in. In order to kick start the body’s intelligence to heal again🕊️🕊️
All our medicine can already be found in nature 🌞🌅🌿🕊️

In a world where we can ask ChatGPT almost anything, it feels more important than ever to preserve knowledge that was been orally passed down from teacher to student. While information is readily available online it does not integrate the same way as learning from our teachers and their experience.
Join me for an introduction to Ayurveda, where we’ll explore this ancient science with respect to its origins. This is not a workshop on Ayurvedic medicine which makes up a small portion of this vast subject.
🕊️ Discover the history and origins of Ayurveda
🕊️ Learn about the five elements and three doshas
🕊️ Understand why health is unique to each individual
🕊️ Take away simple Ayurvedic principles to support balance in every day life.
Throughout this workshop I will share some fascinating parallels between Ayurveda and the Homeopathic Mappa Mundi.
Everything I share has been passed to me by my teacher and offered with deep respect for the lineage which it comes .
📆 Sunday 13th September
⏰ 10:00 ~ 12:30
📌 Yoga Loft, Craft Renaissance, Usk
Please note: I’m not an Ayurvedic doctor. This workshop is an introduction to Ayurveda as a science of life and philosophy for living rather than any medical training or consultation.
