A lovely opportunity for self-care and a nourishing way to let our Sunday morning unfold with more ease.

“Claudia is an empathetic and skilled teacher, with an innate ability to communicate with great clarity and insightfulness. I find her use of visual imagery incredibly helpful.
She is aware of and attentive to each person in the class and devotes time to give individual guidance. This means that the Sunday workshops have the feel of a personal session, and are a joy to participate in.”

The Alchemy of Breath
This workshop is a chance to explore the wonders of our breath.
From easing ourselves into yoga poses, calming or enlivening ourselves through pranayama, or quietening ourselves in meditation as we learn how to watch, trust and surrender into it’s natural tidal rhythms.
Blending anatomical explanation with experiential understanding, this workshop will be posture based, with periods of relaxation, breathing practices and meditation woven in.
Bill has spent over 30 years working in the yoga world – teaching classes, courses, workshops and retreats – and always with a passion for where the physicality of the practice draws us mysteriously into that transformative yet very simple sense of stillness and inner quiet.
While inspired by many different yoga and meditation traditions, his main influence has been the teachings of the late Vanda Scaravelli, and he continues to study with Sandra Sabatini, one of her longest standing students. Before that he studied for 18 years with Diane Long, trained over many years with Sophie Hoare and John Stirk, and is also qualified as a Yoga Therapist (YBT), as a Sivananda Yoga Teacher, and as a Core Process Psychotherapist.
He’s also recently completed an Awareness training with Northern Drum, and a ‘Parts Work’ training with IFSCA, as he follows his growing interest in wilderness rites of passage work.
Away from his mat he and Gaby have 2 gorgeous kids in their 20s, and he can often be found wandering on the moor with a scruffy lurcher, or paddling a canoe down the River Dart.
The Source
A Course with John Stirk
John Stirk
Is a yoga teacher and author with a background in Osteopathy. John’s work highlights the power of group work and the potential insight that arises spontaneously within the group field. He points to the value of group energy and our potential for ‘moving beyond’ when practicing in the company of others.
John has been teaching in the UK and internationally for 45 years, has run many courses for teachers, and is the author of several books, notably The Original Body, Primal Movement for Yoga Teachers (2015) and Deeper Still, Authentic Embodiment for Yoga teachers (2021)
“Having practised yoga on and off for many years I am now hooked on this thoughtful style of yoga which is gentle yet also strong. Over an extended period of time in the 2 hour workshop there is the opportunity to explore and develop movement in a way which is liberating and powerful. I have been surprised at what it has been possible to do and to feel within these Sunday sessions.”
