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.

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).

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.

This is the last in 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.
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.
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.

Kettlebells are simple pieces of equipment. Using them well is anything but.
Grip, alignment, breathing, timing, momentum, tension, catching, redirecting force — there is a huge amount happening at once. In a regular class, you’ll hear these cues, but there is rarely time to stop, take the movement apart and understand exactly what your body (and brain) are doing.
This workshop is that deep dive.
We’ll break down the key kettlebell movements from the ground up, exploring everything from the swing and snatch to the intricate Turkish get-up. We’ll look beyond what a movement should look like to understand why it works: how the feet connect to the floor, how force travels through the body, where the bell should move, when to create tension and when to release it, and how to catch and redirect momentum efficiently.
Then we’ll drill it. Again and again, until the movements become less about thinking and more about knowing.
We’ll also explore something unique to kettlebell training: its cognitive demands. Working with a moving weight requires perception, timing, reflexes, coordination and proprioception. You need to know where the bell is without constantly looking at it, anticipate its trajectory and organise your body around it in real time.
Expect drills that challenge the relationship between brain, hand and body as much as strength.
Better technique means safer, stronger training, but it also creates freedom. When you no longer have to think about every component, your swings improve, your transitions sharpen and your flows become more fluid. Minimal training. Maximal learning.

If you’ve ever experienced Transformational Breathwork and Sound, you’ll know it can feel almost miraculous! Transformational breathwork is a therapeutic breathing technique that can relieve physical tension in the body, emotional stresses and blockages, leaving you feeling lighter and more connected to Self. Using circular breathing, you can move into an altered conscious state and access and release deeply buried obstacles and blocks. There is no other technique that can take you as deep into yourself, in such a short period of time, as breathwork.
After the Breathwork session, you’ll continue to lie on your mat, while Pablo will bring you into a state of deep integrative relaxation using sound. Sound healing has been used for centuries to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance overall wellbeing. The soothing sounds and vibrations of the Gong, singing bowls, chimes and drum, will help create a meditative and immersive environment for you to assimilate and integrate all the benefits of the breathwork session.
We aim to show you the power of your breath and sound as vehicles for healing and enhancing your physical, mental and emotional health. The session will last for 2.5 hours, giving us space to set an intention and to share and integrate our experiences after the breathwork and sound. We will start with a breathwork session, moving into beautiful sound healing and floating off into bliss.
Everyone is welcome! For this experience, bring a bottle of water … you might want to bring a journal to make notes on your experience but this is not required. There is no movement component to this workshop, so no need to wear “yoga clothes” but please dress for comfort.
If you are aware of any heart conditions or brain conditions (ie. Epilepsy, PTSD) you may experience or could be/are pregnant please let Sally or Pablo know on the day.

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.

Join Michael for a practice that explores the intelligence of the spine and the subtle balance between strength and spaciousness. This session moves beyond simple “opening” into backbends and invites you to understand how the body distributes effort, creates support, and finds length without collapse.
Through progressive sequencing, you’ll work with shoulder integration, thoracic mobility, and the coordination required to move into Wild Thing with control and clarity. Rather than forcing depth, the practice emphasises organisation; how to stabilise where needed, soften where possible, and transition with intention. This is a thoughtful, layered approach to backbending that builds both awareness and resilience.
Ideal for dedicated students and teachers looking to refine their understanding of spinal movement, shoulder mechanics, and the quality of their transitions.

Teachers’ Practice and Sangha
This is a space for teachers to be curious, and explore again.
We’ll connect with the body as a home to return to and feel its resourceful and creative nature. We’ll explore what it means to sense safety in our body and breath and let the nervous system settle to build resource before we build sequence.
Leaving the familiar for a while, we let the senses stretch out onto meadows and shores. That’s the invitation here: to step away from teaching and guiding, and let something else lead – not effort, not method, but the kind of knowing that arises on its own when we stop trying. Breath knows. Felt-sense knows. The body has its own quiet intelligence. It doesn’t need us to manage it – only to make room for the creative spirit to flow.
Expect slow movement, guided rest, partner and group work and unhurried conversation, the kind that happens when a room of teachers stop giving and performing, and start breathing and moving together. Sangha (community) is simply what forms when we let ourselves connect and be in contact.
No agenda beyond presence. Come as you are; leave a little more at ease in yourself.

This unique live workshop for women and their birthing partners is informative, practical and confidence-building. Knowledge is power and you will gain a good understanding of physiological birth and how to cooperate with and encourage this innate and evolved process to flow.
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.
There will be a maximum of 10 couples attending this workshop, giving time for individual questions. Ideally, this workshop should be taken in the third trimester of pregnancy, but it can be taken at any time.
