YOGA WORKSHOP
The Spinal Engine
Join Catherine on this workshop to explore the spine’s power, resilience and innate intelligence through creatively exploring movement as initiated and driven from the lumbar spine.
A spectacular piece of engineering, our spine is supremely adapted, elastic and responsive. As both the central powerhouse of the physical body and the housing of the central nervous system, it’s intimately involved in everything we do in daily life and in our yoga practice.
During this workshop Catherine will guide you through a thoughtful, enquiry-led practice designed to enhance your conscious awareness of the spine as both a sensory organ and an initiator of movement.
Through practice and an anatomical focus, you’ll explore how the spine is integral to wellbeing at all levels, its role as both structural support and sensory receptor, and how developing conscious awareness of the spine benefits our bodies in all movements, complex and simple, allowing us to move with more ease and grace. You’ll sense into your own unique anatomy to find ways of practising yoga that are inspired by the shape and form of our own bones.
You’ll leave with a fresh perspective on your individual spine and the confidence to explore yoga in an intelligent, personalised way, whatever your practice style, creating a unique and individual approach to movement that will sustain you for life.

YOGA WORKSHOP
Self Care & Craniosacral Therapy
Have you ever wondered how to create that deep bliss you feel after a wonderful massage? That sensation of being both grounded and light, refreshed and ready for deep rest?
During this session, we’ll be exploring what stimulates that delicious feeling of being “yoga stoned” and how we can generate it ourselves, through our own personal approach to practice. Whilst some yoga is all about our experience of movements and muscularity, there’s an another way to practice which takes us into the deep rhythms and pulses of the fluid body and this is how we’ll approach our final session in the Beyond Asana series.
During this workshop, we’ll:
* Explore how movement can become free, exploratory and reflective of our fluid natures
* Move away from muscularity and powerful movement and dive into our fluid nature
* Tune into the deep rhythms and pulses of your fluid body, particularly your craniosacral fluid (CSF), which bathes the brain, flows through the spinal canal and on down into a pocket within the sacrum
* Find balance and harmony through your fluid system to bring a sense of calm and well-being
* Explore how to invoke a sensitive, delicate attention which can stimulate our own fluid balance, thereby generating a sense of ease and restful quiet
* Delivered in a practical, accessible style, this workshop is not to be missed.

YOGA WORKSHOP
Legs & their Connection to our Sense of Self
Our legs are intimately bound up with our sense of choice and personal power.
We first experience ourselves as individuals, separate from our mothers, as we begin to walk. Taking our first steps, we start to express personal agency and preference. We experience ourselves as “growing up”, literally reaching away from the floor, into space and thence to adulthood, learning to find balance and “stand on our own two feet”.
This creates a connection between our experience of using the strong muscles of our legs and hips and selfhood. There’s a strong association too, with personal autonomy and wellbeing. So it’s no surprise that, during the early lockdowns of the pandemic there was a marked increase in physical exercise as individuals expressed their desire to feel more control over their choices and situations.
During this workshop, we’ll:
* Explore the developmental role of the legs in creating a sense of individuality and personal choice
* Consider whether and when it might be helpful to straighten the knees and how we can work with knees that are prone to collapsing – into hyper extension or bending
* Discuss how the pandemic has caused an increase in both physical activity and sedentary living and how that might affect our sense of self and wellbeing
* Explore the feeling of strength and support that arises from our legs and how it supports our mental health

YOGA WORKSHOP
Shoulders & Upper Back
Our shoulders are complex joints, incredibly flexible and adaptable and yet often prone to feeling stiff and tense. Stress and anxiety is often expressed in this area, causing discomfort which may then radiate up into the neck, down the arms into the wrists or throughout the torso, leaving us feeling grumpy and out of balance. Today we’ll give our shoulders and upper back a sensory treat, let go of deep seated tensions and experience space and freedom in this overused area of the body.
During this workshop, we’ll:
* Understand the complex structure and function of the shoulder joint
* Explore the anatomy of the shoulders, arms, ribs and neck
* Discover the intimate relationship between the upper spine, shoulders and the breath
* Learn more about the rotator cuff
* Give your shoulders and upper back a sensory treat, learn to let go of long held tensions
* Practice some gentle, deliberate and focused techniques to help you change movement habits and release tensions which may restrict you in everyday life

YOGA WORKSHOP
The Spine & its Importance in Yoga
At the earliest stage of our development, the spine is one of the first structures to form. It comes into being to house and protect our nervous system and, as we grow, our bodies organise around it. In this context our spine develops to be at the heart of everything we do, both physically and psychologically.
Throughout life, it is central to our ability to move and enjoy that movement and yoga provides us with exciting possibilities to play with that potential.
During this workshop, we’ll:
* Understand the structure and function of our spine
* Consider the spine as the central powerhouse of the physical body
* Develop an appreciation of the spine’s role as housing of the central nervous system, structural support and sensory receptor
* Investigate how all movement begins within the spine
* The intimate relationship between our spine and everything we do in daily life and our yoga practice

YOGA WORKSHOP
Fundamental Movement Patterns
If we like yoga, we tend to do it a lot. And in these circumstances it makes sense to really understand what we’re doing and why. How do our movements reflect normal, everyday functional movement patterns? What are the fundamental building blocks of movement and how do we learn to make them as infants? How do the patterns we create in very early life affect the way we move as children, adults and on into old age?
During this workshop, we’ll:
* identify the 6 fundamental movement patterns
* discuss what we mean by “functional movement”
* investigate how we can adapt our approach to yoga postures to become more compatible with healthy, functional movement
* investigate how habitual movement patterns and postures may have affected our ability to move and feel these fundamental patterns
* examine how yoga helps us explore fundamental patterns
*discover how to let go of unhelpful movements and move with more ease and fluidity

Yoga for Wellbeing
Join me to explore how yoga enhances our sense of wellbeing, actively reduces stress and anxiety and how we can adapt our practice to support ourselves during challenging times.

* How yoga helps us go beyond our physical selves to understand our base-line emotional or psychological state
* The emotional qualities we experience when we practice specific movements
* Cultivating strength and purpose through our practice
* The links between movement and emotion
* How to tailor our practice to our daily needs. For example adapting to promote inner quiet and calm or a stimulating and inspiring practice create more energy and uplift.

Pelvic Balance
Have you ever wondered why one side of your body is easier to access than the other in your yoga practice? Or why some “hip openers” are more challenging than others?
It’s all related to the balance of your pelvis, and how the web of ligaments, tendons and muscle tissues in this key area work together to support and connect your hips, lower back and legs.

Demystifying The Psoas Muscle
The psoas muscles are the deepest muscles in our body.
They are the link between our spine, diaphragm and legs and act as messengers between our inner selves and the outer world.
They are involved in almost every movement we make - walking, running and sitting and provide important pathways for neural messages.
