Ashtanga Workshops

An open invitation to explore Ahimsa.

To explore non-harming — not as an idea, but as a lived experience inside movement.

This workshop is rooted in the Ashtanga framework, but it isn’t exclusive to Ashtangis.

You don’t need to know the sequence.
You simply need curiosity.What we’ll explore

We’ll move through sections of the Primary Series with a different lens:

  • Where does subtle force creep into your practice?

  • What happens when breath leads instead of ambition?

  • What are the conversations that arise in your own head?

You’ll learn to recognise the inner dialogue that drives effort — and how to refine it.

Because non-harming means working consciously.

On the mat as laboratory

Asana gives us structure. Repetition. Containment.

Inside that container, patterns become visible.

Rushing.
Holding the breath.
Gritting the teeth to “get there.”

We’ll slow the lens down.
Notice the thought.
Feel the impulse to push.
Choose differently.

Not through suppression — through awareness.

This workshop is for you if:

  • You love Ashtanga but sense there’s a deeper layer available.

  • You’re tired of the push-through narrative.

  • You want longevity, not short-term achievement.

  • You’re curious how the first limb shapes everything that follows.

You can have a strong practice.
You can have discipline.

And you can choose non-harming inside it.

In fact, that’s where real power lives.

Expect: guided exploration, intelligent breakdown of key postures, space for reflection, and practical tools you can take straight back into your regular practice.

Same poses, different conversation.

Ahimsa in Action
Sunday 29 March
10.30 -12.30

If you don’t live locally to Dorset and would love to gain from the benefits of the Ahimsa in Action - here’s a second chance to join…

An Ashtanga Workshop Open to non Ashtangis

We’ll explore where ease is possible.
Where softening creates more strength, not less.
Where awareness of the inner conversation changes the quality of the whole practice.

Ahimsa asks:

Can I breathe here?
Is there space?
Am I pushing to achieve — or moving to understand?

It’s not about controlling thoughts.
It’s about noticing them.

Observation before transformation.

Expect: guided exploration, intelligent breakdown of key postures, space for reflection, and practical tools you can integrate immediately — whether you practise Ashtanga, another style, or simply want a more conscious relationship with your body.
