People come to yoga for many different reasons. Some are looking to ease physical discomfort such as tight hips, lower back pain, stiffness, or a lack of flexibility and core strength. Others are seeking relief from stress, anxiety, poor sleep, or simply want to feel more relaxed and at ease. Whatever brings you to the mat, your reason is valid.

This workshop focuses on releasing tight hips and relieving lower back tension. As with all yoga practices, however, the benefits are holistic. As the body begins to soften and open, the mind often follows, leaving you feeling lighter, calmer, and more connected.

We will begin with a guided relaxation to help you arrive fully in the space, allowing both body and mind to settle.

From there, we'll move into a gentle yoga flow designed to ease stiffness, improve mobility, and reconnect you with the natural rhythm of your breath. The main focus of the practice will be on opening the hips and gently releasing the lower back, always with an emphasis on listening to your body and working at your own pace.

The session will conclude with a meditation and deep relaxation, giving you time to absorb the benefits of the practice and leave feeling refreshed and restored.

Suitable for all levels, this workshop emphasises ease, presence, and enjoyment rather than intensity—although there is always the opportunity to explore your own edge if you choose.

After the practice, you're invited to stay for a brew and biscuits and enjoy some informal chat!

For those who would like to explore a little deeper, there will be an optional shamanic journey following the tea break. This additional session is free of charge for workshop participants.

If you would like to attend only the shamanic journey, a donation would be gratefully received. Simply arrive from 4:00 pm in time for tea, biscuits, and a gentle introduction before we begin.

An Afternoon of Hatha Yoga, Meditation and Relaxation

Lynsey Thomas

Loved the Yoga and Mediation class on Saturday. I left feeling very chilled and happy. Just what I needed. Loved the Shamanic Meditation, it really takes you somewhere else and gives a wonderful sense of peace. 2hrs 30mins seems like a long session, but time really passes so quickly. I would definitely go to the next session and highly recommend it to anyone :-) Thank you Dave!

Millie Sarin

The Hatha Yoga, Breathwork and Meditation event was an amazing experience for me leaving me with a deep sense of relaxation and inner peace. It provided a much-needed break from the daily grind, and I left feeling not only physically rejuvenated but also mentally and emotionally recharged. I would highly recommend attending such a retreat to anyone looking to escape the stress of daily life and connect with their inner self in a serene and supportive environment.  David is a fantastic instructor and I am looking forward to the next one.

David is an amazing instructor, his classes are different from others that I've attended. I always leave each session with a calm mind and his personality  always puts a smile on my face.

An Afternoon of Yoga, Relaxation and Deep Restoration

Question 1

Please let me know if you have any medical conditions which we need to consider

Question 2

Do you have any special dietary requirements?

We all inherit more than eye colour and a surname. Patterns, beliefs, ways of reacting to life—they get passed down too. Some serve us. Others quietly hold us back.

This workshop is a chance to step out of autopilot and take a clear, honest look at what you’ve been carrying—and decide what stays and what goes.

Through a series of simple, guided practices, you’ll begin to untangle inherited patterns, reconnect with the strengths in your lineage, and create space for something new.

People often leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more like themselves—less shaped by the past, more able to move forward with intention.

This isn’t about digging everything up or over-analysing your history. It’s about recognising what’s been handed to you… and choosing how you carry it from here.

Come with an open mind—you might leave with a different story.

The afternoon closes with tea, cake, and sharing — time to integrate your experience and connect with others on the same path.

No previous experience is required — only curiosity and a willingness to journey within.

Welcome to this free introduction to Yoga for Backs.

There are 10 short videos in this introduction. It is recommended to schedule some time each day to go through these, they take between 5-10 minutes.

The first video is a 10 minute introduction to the course, and in each of the other videos I show a number of yoga postures to help ease back pain as well as developing core strength and flexibility.

There is also a daily relaxation which takes less than 15 minutes.

Topics I’ll be covering include:
- Yoga techniques to help relieve bad back episodes
- Exercises to improve strength and flexibility (you don’t have to be bendy to do yoga, this comes over time)
- Relaxation techniques for stress relief

The goal of this programme is to help you to find a way to control your back pain and lead a normal life.
