Please let me know asap if you're interested as places will be limited.

Cost £90 per pair, or £80 for aYs members (a slight increase from last year due to increase in hall hire prices). The workshops will certainly count as aYs CPD - and will also be eligible for BWY CPD points if you wish them to be.

Other Workshops in the UK

These workshops are ideal for those who want to deepen their knowledge and practice of yoga, and consequently we present a range of different topics. Most workshops are a mixture of theory, practice and discussion. Group size can be anything from 10 up to 25 (and very occasionally more). We aim to make these days very user friendly, as we strongly believe that enjoyment is an important part of learning.

Exploring Book 2 of the Yoga Sutras: sadhana pada – Being in the World

Patanjali's Yoga Sutras is the key text for the study of yoga. Composed nearly two thousand years ago, it remains a shining treasure trove for anyone wishing to explore the meaning and philosophy of yoga. Originally composed in Sanskrit, the sutras are not readily accessible, and although there are many translations, their content differs significantly.

Following on from a very successful In-Service Training Day for Essex and Herts on Chapter 1 of the Yoga Sutras, this workshop will explore the major themes of Book 2, inspired by the teachings of TKV Desikachar. There will also be plenty of time for discussion and practice.
