YOGA - The practice of being human

BOOKING NOW OPEN!

YOGA - THE PRACTICE OF BEING HUMAN (not perfect)

Yoga isn’t meant to make you into a super bendy super hero. It’s meant to help you live.

Most of us don’t struggle because life is difficult ALL the time. We struggle because we fight reality, repeat the same old patterns and freeze when we don’t know what to do next.

This workshop’s the first step to help you change that.

THE PROBLEM

Life doesn’t often go to plan. We all know that.

Things change. People change. Even we change.

And when change happens, most of us tense, resist, overthink, or shut down completely. This is what that might look like:

Your partner tells you that they need space and you mind immediately jumps to the worst case scenario. You can’t sleep with their words going round in your mind. So you replay every recent conversation looking for the “why”.

Or you find yourself going over a painful argument with a friend that happened years ago. Still wishing you’d come up with a better response and still feeling the knot in your stomach when you replay it in your mind.

Or you know you have to have a conversation with a difficult colleague at work about their behaviour, but you keep putting it off waiting for the right time when their reaction might be more manageable.

In a nutshell, you are:

Feeling stuck between knowing that something needs to change, but not knowing how.
Repeating the same reactions, conversations, or behaviours.
Waiting for the right time to take action.
Judging yourself for not handling things better.

This isn’t failing … it’s being human, without the tools to understand what’s happening.

THE POTENTIAL

Yoga was never meant to stay on the mat.

At it’s very core yoga is a lived philosophy for navigating discomfort, uncertainty, fear and change. It helps you notice what’s actually happening, understanding why you might be reacting the way you do and respond with more clarity.

When yoga is practiced this way, this is what happens:

You notice the tightness in your chest and catch yourself before sending that passive-aggressive text to your friend that doesn’t deserve it just because you have had one of those days.

Or, when your partner asked for space, you realise that they are communicating their needs with you and that their request may have nothing to do with you. Everyone needs space from time to time, you know that you value some “me time” yourself. You remind then that they can talk to you, opening the door for a conversation, if it’s needed.

Or, when you find yourself replacing that horrible conversation from years ago in the shower. You catch it, stop ruminating by reminding yourself that it’s done and nothing can be achieved by replaying ancient history. You breath and focus on the day ahead.

So, you now find yourself living a life where:

Acceptance replaces resistance.
Awareness interrupts your auto pilot.
Action becomes possible even when there is the discomfort of uncertainty.

Yoga isn’t about being perfect.

It’s about being present.

It’s about being human.

THE SOLUTION

Yoga - The practice of being human (not perfect) is a 2.5-hour, in person workshop that translates yoga philosophy into real, useable tools for everyday life.

We’ll explore:

ACCEPTANCE AND CHANGE

How clinging to how things should be creates suffering … Like when you wish your partner would go back to the way they ‘used to be’ instead of accepting who they are now.

How fear of change shows up in the body and mind … When you feel that know in your stomach when someone asks you, “What’s next?”, because you procrastinate on decisions that could change everything. That new job, the house move etc.

Practical grounding tools to meet reality as it actually is, not how you want it to be … simple practices can make all the difference here, like breathing, anchoring, movement or meditation can be used to create the space you need between the impulse and action. The result? Making the choices you need to and feeling so much better in your body.

HOW YOU GET IN YOUR OWN WAY

Why you may repeat patterns that don’t serve you. Like staying in relationships that drain you. Saying YES when you mean NO.

You find yourself in the same situation time and time again and wonder how you got there?

Like, agreeing to coffee with that friend who takes so much from you, but never gives back in return and you know that “quick coffee” will have you exhausted on the sofa later nursing a headache. You knew you would feel this way, but you didn’t have the tools to say no.

Yoga philosophy gives you the tools to help you learn how to catch yourself before you fall in that hole again.

WHEN YOU FEEL FROZEN

Waiting for confidence or certainty keeps you stuck. You feel that if you just take one more course or get in more experience before you feel ready to apply for that new job or promotion.

Yoga philosophy give us the understanding and tools to help you take action without needing a guaranteed outcome. How to take one meaningful step without the pressure of perfection.

This is not just theory or pie in the sky.

Everything is connected to lived experience.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Clear grounded teaching with humour.
Real-life examples.
Simple reflection practices.
Practical tools you can use.

If you’re ready to follow from feeling stuck to having the ability to take meaningful action towards living a life that’s for you, then, Yoga - The Practice of being human is for you.

WHO THIS IS FOR

This workshop is for you if:

You often feel stuck or overwhelmed when in a period of change.
You want practical tools, not platitudes or greeting card philosophy.
You are curious about yoga beyond the poses.

P.s. This is not a mat practice. No flexibility required. No prior yoga experience needed.

I am so excited to share this with you ... this is what I've been working towards for years. Giving you the tools of yoga for everyday life!
