A series of three 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.
Workshop 1: Breath
Breath is the foundation. This workshop looks at the role of breath not just as a technique, but as the organising principle of practice, or the thread that connects movement, attention and internal rhythm.
When breath leads, practice changes.
Workshop 2: 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.
Workshop 3: 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.
