Nature moves in rhythms. Winter invites rest, spring brings growth and activity, and by midsummer there is a gentle pause as trees stand in full leaf and flowers bloom in their full beauty. It is a season that reminds us to slow down, appreciate what is around us, and reconnect with ourselves.

This deeply restorative workshop draws inspiration from these natural cycles, inviting you to find your own balance between activity and rest. Together we will explore the five elements—Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether—which, according to the yogic tradition, exist both within us and throughout the natural world.

Through gentle yoga postures, mindful movement, breathing practices and guided relaxation, we will connect with the unique qualities of each element. Earth offers stability and grounding, Water encourages ease and flow, Fire awakens vitality, Air creates spaciousness and freedom, while Ether reminds us of the quiet awareness that connects everything.

The practice gradually unfolds towards **Tattva Shuddhi**, a traditional tantric meditation that invites us to experience the *tattvas*—the essential "suchness" or true nature of all things. Rather than striving to become anything different, this meditation encourages us to rest in what is already present, cultivating clarity, peace and a deeper sense of connection.

Whether you are seeking physical relaxation, emotional balance, or simply an opportunity to pause from the busyness of everyday life, this workshop offers a nurturing space to restore mind, body and spirit.

Come and experience an afternoon of gentle movement, deep relaxation and inner discovery, leaving you feeling grounded, refreshed and more connected to yourself and the world around you.

I really hope you can join me.

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 O'Neill

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.

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.
