Workshops

I run monthly weekend workshops, sometimes with visiting teachers. Most of these are hosted at Maitri Studio, where other (non-yoga) workshops are also listed. Book for all workshops and events on the Maitri Studio page.

Workshops

In workshops we have more time to dive into the practice, often on the Pune cycle (standings, forward extensions, back extensions, restorative/pranayama) but linked to the whole suite of poses. £30 for 2.5hr workshops, others as priced. All levels except complete beginners, options will be given.

YOGA BREAKS

7-9 November 2025

I am offering a weekend yoga retreat (all levels) at Carlingford Yoga. We start on Friday with arrival, a yoga class and dinner. Saturday begins with meditation (optional) followed by morning asana class then brunch. There’s a guided walk in the afternoon or chill out with a book. We’ll enjoy a restorative class before the evening meal. Sunday follows the same routine until after brunch. There’s some karma yoga to tidy up, then a walking meditation, reflection and closing circle before tea and cake! €430 all included.

Booking is through the Carlingford Yoga website, where you can also find out about accommodation.

I am not running longer yoga holidays for the foreseeable future. Do check Iyengar Yoga UK listings to look for other Iyengar teachers offering those whether UK/Ireland or further afield.
