Scaravelli Inspired Yoga Events in January
Treat yourself to yoga - you're worth it!
This Scaravelli inspired yoga approach is gentle, yet demanding. We work deeply, but with intelligence, so that the practice raises our awareness, helping us to make sustainable, healthy and nourishing choices, which will affect us and those closest to us, at all levels – physical, psychological and emotional.
Scaravelli inspired yoga, is particularly helpful for those who are working with postural issues, lower back pain, stiff necks and shoulders and for those who are stressed, and need some space to learn how to deeply relax.
Yoga Workshop
Yoga for Hips & Lower Back Pain
The hips are complex joints which are responsible for supporting much of the body's weight and allowing for movement. When the hips are tight, they can restrict movement and cause compensatory movements in other areas of the body, including the lower back.
These are the two areas which people ask about most regularly in yoga. I’m often asked how we can release stiff hips and find relief from lower back pain.
.
Join me to improve your mobility and find relief from discomfort with targeted yoga movements designed to release tension and build strength throughout this crucial central area of the body.
.
This workshop is perfect for both yoga teachers and practitioners seeking lasting solutions through accessible, anatomy-informed practices.
• Identify postural patterns that contribute to discomfort
• Practice yoga asanas designed to release and strengthen the muscles around the pelvis
• Improve movement, reduce pain, and support long-term wellbeing
.
If these issues affect you, or your students, please join me for another deep dive into the rationale behind the way we practice yoga.
What you'll learn:
• the connection between the lower back and hips (think psoas, QL, abdominals, glutes and SIJ)
• why stiff hips may need strengthening more than stretching
• common issues affecting lower back and hip relationships
• lazy glute conundrum (is it real?)
• yoga bum – what is it and why does it affect yoga practitioners particularly?
• How to build sustainable and healthy sequences that support long term physical health
What you'll experience:
Pain Relief & Mobility: Experience yoga asanas that gently stretch and strengthen muscles to release tension, improve posture, and reduce discomfort
Yoga Practices for Stiff Hips: Explore movements which cultivate body awareness, encourage improved movement patterns and provide sustainable relief for you, your students, friends and family
This workshop is ideal for you if:
• You’re working with tight hips, stiffness or pain in the lower back
• You experience related issues such as sciatica or sacroiliac instability
• You’re a teacher or practitioner who’d like to learn more about the anatomy and optimal functioning of this region
.
For all levels of yoga / movement experience.

Scaravelli Inspired Yoga Classes
Evidence-informed strength training and yoga to support joint health, nervous-system regulation, and healthy ageing in women.
.
I offer two distinct types of classes, each supporting strength, mobility and resilience in different ways.
You can choose Scaravelli-inspired yoga to support ease, awareness and nervous-system regulation, or strength-focused training to build muscle mass, stability and confidence - or combine both for a well-rounded practice.
Breath-led movement for ease, awareness and nervous-system regulation
These yoga classes are inspired by the work of Vanda Scaravelli and emphasise listening, adaptability and the intelligent use of breath and gravity.
Rather than fixed shapes or performance, we explore how movement can create space, softness and support in the body – helping regulate the nervous system and reduce unnecessary tension.
.
What people experience:
• A calmer, more responsive nervous system
• Improved joint mobility and spinal ease
• Less pain and holding, more freedom of movement
• A practice that adapts to how you feel on the day
.
These classes may include elements of strength, but their primary focus is awareness, coordination, breath and regulation, not muscle-building.
.
