Mission Workshops and Courses:
Opening doors to something deeper
A Mission workshop gives students a chance to unpack a particular skill, technique or posture, and linger a bit longer than they would in a regular class. A workshop is a chance to explore and to ask questions. They are generally taught on a Friday night or at the weekend, giving students more time to sink in, reflect and learn.
Wednesdays: 3rd June; 7th October

In essence we have no material core, our true centre is spatial – freedom from ourself lies within ourself.
All aspects of our ‘self’ are organized around a core of dynamic emptiness central to our existence. This centre is experienced when we awaken sensations free from the weight of conditioned perceptions.
Core energy manifests as a boundless outpouring that dissolves habitual patterns from the inside out, clearing the way for inherent qualities to arise. These qualities surface on the back of a profound sense of emergent freedom.
Using a simple and direct approach, this daylongs provide the means through which we can dissolve layers of conditioning that inhibit freedom from ourselves.
Some yoga or meditation experience required.

Over the two-day workshop Yuval will teach you the basics of handstands. He’ll help you establish a solid base necessary to take your handstand practice to a new level, safely and efficiently.
You’ll learn the technical preparations for handstands and come to understand and experience the alignment points of a straight line handstand. You’ll experiment with some different handstand shapes, learn balance strategies, and play with various wall drills, as well as different ways to enter a handstand.
This workshop is for beginners who can hold a handstand for 20 seconds against the wall. It is also for intermediate handstandsers who want to revisit the basics and improve alignment and control.

Saturday’s class will focus on refining the different shapes of handstands (tuck, pike and straddle) and adapting them for advanced level transitions and sequences.
Sunday’s class will focus on press to handstand, stalders, and the holy grail: one-armed handstands.
Both workshops are intended to give students a better understanding of how to practise complex handstands, and how to create or refine their own practice routine. While the workshops can be taken individually, you’ll get the most out of Yuval’s teachings by taking both.
These workshops are suitable for students with a committed handstand practice, and who can hold a solid handstand for at least 30 seconds.

Your environment has an enormous influence on the way you birth and Lolly pays particular attention to educating your partner on how to hold and protect your space. She will draw on her many years as a doula, yoga teacher, certified hypnobirther and childbirth educator to provide you with the tools for working together before and during the birth. You will learn how to release tension and fear though education, breathwork, visualisation, movement and massage.

Are you new to handstands? Come learn from Cirque du Soleil performer Alona Zhuravel who since an early age has been gracing circus stages and big tops around the world.
These workshops are pitched at beginners and will help you understand the principles of alignment when upside down, first against the wall and then slowly away from it. You’ll build confidence and become familiar with the different shapes of a handstand — tuck, straddle and full handstand. The capacity of these workshops are limited so that Alona can spend time with you individually. You’ll also learn how to work safely with a partner.

These workshops are for those who have a more established handstand practice.
You’ll work on sharpening your focus and perfecting alignment in the freestanding handstand. You’ll develop familiarity with tucks, straddles, full handstands and even flags and the one-armed handstand. You’ll work new and different shapes, some of which you may have practised before but others you probably haven’t!

Join Kino MacGregor and Tim Feldmann for a full week of practice, learning, and community.

Taken as a whole, the immersion will spark the fire for practice, method and lineage of Ashtanga Yoga.
You can sign up for the entire immersion (recommended) or cherry pick your way from the Mysore practice, Led Primary Series, or single workshops.

A series of workshops exploring the foundational elements of Vinyasa practice: breath, bandha and drishti — the three points through which practice becomes integrated. Each workshop can be taken individually or as a complete series.
The Series
Modern yoga is often taught as sequence. These workshops returns to the method.
Rooted in the Mysore tradition, these workshops explore Tristhāna – the principle that breath, body and mind are not separate, but unified through practice. Rather than adding more, we refine what is already there.
Each workshop combines āsana, prāṇāyāma, mantra and meditation, with hands-on adjustments and philosophical context drawn from Stewart’s decades of study and teaching.
Sunday 9th August: Bandha
Bandhas are often misunderstood. This workshop explores the subtle engagement of physical, energetic and mental locks — not as force, but as intelligent containment and direction of energy.
Without bandha, practice dissipates. With it, it becomes integrated.
Friday 9th Oct: Drishti
Where you place your gaze shapes your mind. This workshop focuses on drishti (or the discipline of attention) and how it influences stability, clarity and presence within practice.
To see clearly is to practise clearly.
Why this all matters:
In a landscape of increasingly diluted interpretations of yoga, this series returns to a direct, somatic and lineage-based approach. It is not performative, nor is it decorative.
Practice as it was intended to be: precise, embodied and whole.
Friday 25th September: 6.00-8.00pm

This 2hr workshop is designed exclusively for all movement enthusiasts. Whether your practice of choice is yoga asana, running, calisthenics, capoeira or cross fit, this workshop is designed to teach you how to be proactive in your recovery and enhance your long-term performance.
With so much emphasis placed on building strength, refining technique and reaching personal goals – the accumulative effects can often result in tightness, inflammation and myofascial pain. In order to alleviate these restrictions, MyoYin offers us a practice that can speed up the recovery process and help to keep our fitness goals on track.
MyoYin is a highly effective dual-modality that combines targeted myofascial release ball techniques with slow, passive Yin Yoga holds. Practiced separately, both myofascial release and Yin Yoga are designed to facilitate deep tissue relaxation, improve range of motion, enhance circulation, reduce pain, and enhance sports performance. When we combine these practices, the results are immediate and significantly amplified.
Remember, OFF days are just as important as ON days.
Highly-esteemed within the international Yin Yoga community, Nicky is one of London’s most senior teachers and educators. For those interested in her 60hr MyoYin Training held in December, this is a great workshop to trial the practice and her teaching style.
Note: tennis balls will be provided, but we highly encourage you to bring your own myofascial release balls (2 x single balls and 1 x peanut ball).
