Learn to incorporate rolling in your movement practice, a foundational form of locomotion often forgotten. After all, we roll before we learn to crawl and walk; we did it so effortlessly as babies. The afternoon will break down specific rolling techniques across different planes of motion, with particular focus on exploring how we can soften into and out of the floor safely and efficiently.
When the body softens and sources earth moving with the direction of gravity, there arises in equal measure a radiant and expansive tone engendering body as sky.
To practice yoga involves working not only with gravity’s pull to the centre but with its opposite – soft, radiant expansion that embodies space. This interplay results in soft, fluid strength expressed as integration. This workshop spotlights the interrelationship between body, gravity and expansion.
This beginners’ handstand course embarks on a journey of balance, strength, and poise. The classes will unfold with careful guidance, focusing on foundational elements crucial for success.
This training focuses on going deeper into the practice, art and teaching of Restorative Yoga. It includes immersive practice, how to set-up/adapt postures, self-enquiry, meditation practice, as well as lecture and dialogue.

‘Floreio’: From the Brazilian Portuguese (flor – flower – to flourish). Floreio(s) is a Capoeira concept which embodies an evolving family of acrobatic movements commonly popularised and utilised today by the ‘movement’ field often described as ‘softacrobatics’.
In this workshop we will develop our confidence by confronting our fear of falling and explore objective and practical ways of navigating the uncharted dimensions between our body and space. Our spatial awareness will grow through sensory feedback mechanisms and physical risk assessments. We will learn how to become soft, agile and light as a feather developing fluid transitions.
