An open invitation to explore Brahmacharya - conserving energy.
Ashtanga begins with the Yamas — the foundations of how we relate.
This workshop explores the fourth: Brahmacharya - Conserving Energy.
This is a very modern yama. Especially now, when attention is constantly pulled outward and the nervous system is rarely left alone.
Traditionally it gets reduced to celibacy or sexual restraint, but that’s only the outer layer. In practice, it’s far more subtle — and far more interesting.
It asks a simple but uncomfortable question:
Where is your energy actually going?
What drains it?
What scatters it?
What strengthens it?
You can see it physically in practice too.
When movement comes from force and muscular gripping, energy burns fast.
When it comes from breath, bandha, attention, and direction, energy circulates instead of depleting.
It’s a way of noticing how easily we leak energy — through excess, distraction, compulsion, over-efforting, or constantly reaching outward for something to stabilise us.
More essential now, in the age of doomscrolling and twelve open tabs in the nervous system, than ever.
• You don’t need to know the full Primary Series
• You just need curiosity — and a willingness to observe
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.

Brahmacharya - Where’s your energy going? (Online Masterclass)
We continue our exploration of Yamas — through practice.
Where is your energy going?
It asks a simple but uncomfortable question:
Where is your energy actually going?
What drains it?
What scatters it?
What strengthens it?
Online practice makes this even clearer. Without the room, the teacher, the group energy — we meet our habits more directly.
It’s a way of noticing how easily we leak energy — through excess, distraction, compulsion, over-efforting, or constantly reaching outward for something to stabilise us.
This is not about correction. It’s about clarity.
A way of seeing where attention is present… and where it slips away.
We will explore this through the lens of Ashtanga Yoga, but this is open to anyone curious about how they meet themselves in movement — not just established practitioners.
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.

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 exploring your truth - 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.

Satya - What’s your truth? Sunday 26 April
10.30 -12.30
If you don’t live locally to Dorset and would love to gain from the benefits of exploring your truth - here’s a second chance to join…
An Ashtanga workshop — open to everyone
You don’t need to be an Ashtangi.
You don’t need to know the sequence.
You just need honesty.
We’ll explore:
Where you’re moving from habit
Where you’re avoiding what’s actually there
Where small shifts reveal something new
Through the lens of Satya (truthfulness), we begin to ask:
What is actually happening here?
Am I responding… or repeating?
Is this choice true — or just familiar?
It’s not about getting it right.
It’s about seeing clearly.
Awareness of truth changes everything.
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.
