Hip Opening Workshop
(2.5 Hours) $100
For mobility, healthy ageing, freedom of movement
and lower back/hip health.
Workshop Description:
The hips are central to almost every movement we make. While research consistently shows that leg strength is critical for maintaining mobility and independence as we age, hip mobility—particularly symmetrical and functional flexibility—is equally important. This 2.5-hour Hip Opening Workshop honours both strength and mobility, combining the two to help release tension, improve movement quality, and cultivate greater ease through mindful movement, targeted strengthening exercises, mobility drills, and longer-held yoga postures. Participants will learn practical techniques to increase flexibility safely, reduce stiffness associated with daily life, and support healthier movement patterns. Suitable for all levels, this workshop offers a deeper understanding of how the hips influence posture, lower back comfort, and overall wellbeing.
Hatha Flow Workshop
(2 Hours) $80
For synchronised movement, concentration, moving meditation and the relationship between effort and ease.
Workshop Description:
The steady rhythm of a Hatha Flow practice draws students into a moving meditation, and when practised collectively, it creates a powerful mind-body synchrony that enhances focus, coordination, and presence. Students will learn how to connect breath and movement while exploring foundational postures, alignment principles, transitions, and energetic awareness. To move through the practice with fluidity, students will explore the relationship between effort and ease, learning how both contribute to sustainable movement and mindful practice. Ideal for practitioners seeking a deeper understanding of yoga beyond a regular class, this workshop is best suited to those who have maintained a consistent yoga practice for at least six months. Participants will leave with practical skills and a richer sense of presence both on and off the mat.
From Strength to Flexibility Workshop
(2.5 Hours) $100
Encompasses the science of mobility, stability, and sustainable flexibility.
Workshop Description:
This workshop explores the powerful relationship between strength and flexibility, demonstrating how mobility improves when stability and muscular engagement are developed alongside stretching. Students will experience the value of generating strength through movement and discover how greater stability can support increased freedom of motion when the body is appropriately challenged. Through a combination of targeted strengthening exercises, active mobility practices within yoga postures, and carefully applied flexibility techniques, participants will learn how to safely expand their range of motion while building resilience, body awareness, and confidence. Suitable for all levels, this workshop provides practical tools that can be applied immediately to both yoga practice and everyday movement.
