Workshops & Events
It has come to our notice that not all yoga students want to teach, but many do want to learn more about yoga. People are reaching out, hungering for deeper understanding, thirsting for enough knowledge and information to be able to deal much better with life's demands on their time and energy, some with a yearning for enlightenment and some who simply want to find some inner peace. The duty of a Swami is to answer that need with as much support as possible.
This page gives information on Workshops, Yoga Nidra Pot Luck Supper Evenings and Special Events.

An Ideas 'Swap-Shop'

Principal) and subsequently as Teacher Training workshops at the Yoga Biomedical Trust in London, on behalf of Dr. Robin Munro. This workshop covers safely teaching, experiencing and adapting Asana (yoga postures) for those who have to meet physical challenges on a daily basis. Bring your own notes of ideas and experiences to share with the group.

The Bhagavad-Gita ***
The Gita has long been considered one of the most important philosophical and literary works known to man; the essence of Vedic literature that forms the basis of philosophy and spirituality. This workshop will explore how the text is used to introduce new ways of thinking to us, the Margas or ‘paths' we are drawn to and concepts such as Prakriti, Perusha, the Gunas, Atman and Brahman.
If it is a long time since you studied the text or never really appreciated it then this is your chance to explore, discuss and find some deep insights.
