ANATOMY OF BREATHING & DIAPHRAGMS

with Hugo Abecassis

January 30th-Feb 1st

more info here

"Breath is the vehicle of consciousness and so, by its slow measured observation and distribution, we learn to tug our attention away from external desires toward a judicious, intelligent awareness" BKS Iyengar

Even in asana practice the breath plays a central role, as it underpins both the physiological effectiveness and the mindful quality of permanence and movement. 

Integrating anatomical knowledge of breathing softens and refines the practice and also helps practitioners recognise breath related patterns like holding or shallow respiration that may increase strain. 


Ashtanga Yoga Mysore class

with Gabriele Meder

Sundays: February 8th, March 8th. 2026

8.00-10.00 am

This class is for all with some Ashtanga series pre-knowledge: Ashtanga Yoga goes back to Shri K Pattabhi Jois and ultimately to the big yoga guru T. Krishnamacharya. The postures are set together in series, each aiming for a special effect in our body-mind system. The Mysore class set-up asks the practitioner to learn the sequence in order to be able to move from pose to pose independently and supported by the teacher with adjustments and guidance. This allows a very silent class, possibly going into deep meditative states.

Gabriele is a body worker and brings her osteopathic skills into her yoga teaching. She supports everyone in an open and loving manner.

Gwyn Williams and Zenthai Shiatsu (Australia)

a Weekend of Touch, Story Telling, and Community

May 8th-10th

more info here

Gwyn Williams is a movement based therapist that created Zenthai shiatsu over 25 years ago.  On the surface, Zenthai is a fusion of Zen shiatsu, Thai massage and osteopathic technique, however beneath is an enriched conversation with an vibrant ever-changing life.  The dissolving of division into unity continues to be his inspiration and the aspects of community, connection and contribution are at the core of the practice.

Whilst many have been touched by the therapist programs and the multi layered offerings  ,  the art has evolved to now include a fluid movement based practice known as Zenthai flow.

For the past two and a half  decades Gwyn has inspired thousands of students throughout the world with his continually evolving form , which is based around Thich Nhat Hanh’s

“ When you touch something with awareness you touch everything “
