WORKSHOP 1 | Three Anatomical Points to an Effortless Practice Workshop
Saturday 5 July 2025 (10am-12.30pm)
After teaching anatomy and yoga for nearly twenty years, the core of movement in practice can be brought back to three anatomical points that direct you toward the core of the body. This workshop is about simplifying the complexity of where to practice from anatomically.
By focusing on these three anatomical points, you will develop safe and effective movement that becomes expansive and effortless. It sounds too good to be true, but this really is the basis of understanding the physical component of bandhas in your yoga practice.
There are many ways to approach the practice of yoga. Anatomy is simply another perspective that can be used to understand how to approach practice.
Topics Covered:
• Explanation of the three anatomical points
• Techniques to access these key points
• Understand their relationship to bandha
• Apply the techniques to sun salutations
• Utilize the three anatomical points for focus
Come along and experience a truly new way to move in your body and take your practice to the next level.

WORKSHOP 2 | Ashtanga Yoga Technique Workshop
Saturday 5 July 2025 (2-4.30pm)
Everyone has postures that challenge them. Many students have difficulties in certain sections of practice, particularly with postures such as marichyasana D, supta kurmasana, lotus, and backbending.
Awareness of the structure of the anatomy, as well as knowledge of the meaning of these postures, can help us move forward in a safe and intelligent way. When we’re informed in this way, we keep the poses in context. We understand why we need to do them, what they represent to us personally, and what purpose they have within the system. This helps us avoid injuries and stay motivated to work on challenging postures.
Students are encouraged to bring their own areas for discussion. By default, we’ll discuss hips, knees, back, and spine and the difficult postures that go along with them.
Topics Covered:
• Understand the anatomy and context of the most difficult asanas
• Learn techniques to safely progress in the most challenging asanas
• Break down marichyasana D
• Break down backbending
• Break down supta kurmasana
• Break down lotus and related postures
This workshop will have some theoretical components as well as many practical techniques and exercises to work on the more difficult parts of practice.
