What better way to start your day than with a calming yoga practice followed by a delicious treat from the incredible August Bakery?

I’m so excited to be partnering with my favorite bakery and neighbour to bring you a special morning wellness event.

Join me on Wednesday, June 18th in the serene Ascension Hall at St. Barnabas Church for a 50-minute Slow Flow Yoga class. Afterward, we’ll take a short stroll—just one minute—to August Bakery, where you’ll enjoy your choice of a hot drink or a pastry, included in your ticket.

Think gentle movement, nourishing food, and great company—all before 9am.

The space…
The Ascension Hall is the perfect setting for this practice: a light-filled, spacious room adorned with a stunning stained glass window, creating a peaceful and inspiring atmosphere. Its proximity to August makes the transition from practice to pastry effortless.

About August Bakery…
Quite simply, August makes some of the best bakes and coffee in London. If you’ve already experienced them, you know exactly what I mean. If not, prepare to fall in love—your first taste won’t be your last!

A little about me…
I’m a local yoga teacher and neighbor of August Bakery, teaching across South East and South West London. My classes are welcoming, accessible, and always focused on creating a space where you feel comfortable, supported, and at ease—whether it’s your first time on the mat or your hundredth.

Headstand Confidence Workshop: Go Beyond the Wall

BOOK HERE - Early bird offer is ending soon!! Use code: EARLYBIRD by June 9th.

@ MoreYoga Battersea – A Beautiful Church-Like Studio Setting

Master the art of stillness when the world is upside down.
This workshop is designed for anyone who’s curious about headstands but hasn’t yet found consistency, ease, or confidence. Whether you’re still using the wall, popping up for a second before tipping over, or craving a deeper understanding of your body in inversion — you’ll leave with tools, knowledge, and a renewed sense of trust in yourself.

In the peaceful, high-ceilinged space at MoreYoga Battersea, we’ll explore the headstand (Sirsasana) and tripod headstand through clear guidance, hands-on support, and a strong foundation in functional anatomy — so you can move beyond fear and into stillness, strength, and balance.

What You’ll Learn:

• The anatomy of a strong, safe headstand — not just how to do it, but why it works

• How to engage the right muscles: shoulders, core, glutes, and beyond

• Safe entry and exit strategies (no more flinging yourself up and hoping for the best)

• The difference between Tripod and Sirsasana headstands — and how to approach both

• Techniques for balancing without the wall

• How to fall safely

• Extra variations or drills depending on the group’s pace and energy

This isn’t about “nailing it” — it’s about building confidence, strength, and calm from the ground up.

Hands-On Support, Always

You’ll receive plenty of hands-on adjustments and 1:1 feedback throughout the session. You'll be fully supported — physically and emotionally — every step of the way. This is a space to feel safe, ask questions, wobble, and grow.

Why Practice Headstand?

Headstands offer so much more than just a physical challenge:

• Boosts circulation and reverses blood flow to the brain

• Strengthens shoulders, arms, and core muscles

• Stimulates the lymphatic and endocrine systems (hello, natural energy boost)

• Encourages focus, patience, and calm

• Builds trust in your body and teaches you how to stay present — even when things feel upside down

When life feels unpredictable, headstand becomes a practice in steadiness and breath — helping you meet challenge with clarity.

About Your Teacher

With further study in anatomy, I’ll guide you through this practice with an emphasis on understanding your body. You won’t just be told what to do — you’ll learn how to create stability from the inside out. Expect thoughtful progressions, simple breakdowns, and an atmosphere of curiosity, exploration, and support.

Workshop Details:

Date: 21st June 2025
Time: 2:30pm-4pm
Location: 12 Cloisters House Cloisters Business Centre 8 Battersea Park Road SW8 4BG
Investment: £30 or £25 when you book before June 9th.

Who It's For:

• Those new to headstand

• Anyone looking to improve balance, alignment, or leave the wall behind

• Yogis who want to understand what’s happening in their body when inverted

Let’s shift perspective — with intention, knowledge, and a little bit of play.
You don’t have to be fearless or “get it right” — just come as you are, ready to explore.

@ MoreYoga Battersea – A Beautiful Church-Like Studio Setting

Find Strength in Flight: Arm Balance Workshop

Discover what’s possible when you meet challenge with curiosity instead of fear.
This workshop is for anyone who’s intrigued by arm balances but hasn’t quite found stability, strength, or that elusive moment of lift-off. Whether you're new to crow pose or ready to explore more advanced shapes like Flying Pigeon and Eight Angle Pose — you’ll leave with tools, confidence, and a fresh sense of play.

In the beautiful, high-ceilinged space at MoreYoga Battersea, we’ll start with the foundations of Crow Pose (Bakasana) and use those principles to build into a range of arm balances — from Side Crow to One-Legged Crow, Flying Pigeon, Eight Angle Pose, and more.

What You’ll Learn:

• The anatomy of a stable arm balance — not just how to do it, but why it works

• How to recruit the right muscles: shoulders, core, wrists, glutes, and inner thighs

• Techniques to float with more ease (and less struggle)

• Step-by-step progressions for a range of arm balances

• How to fall safely — and why it’s part of the learning

• Variations and drills tailored to your current level

• How to work through fear and find lightness through technique and breath

This workshop isn’t about achieving perfection — it’s about deepening your understanding, building confidence, and having fun along the way.

Hands-On Support, Always

You’ll receive plenty of hands-on guidance, personalized adjustments, and 1:1 feedback throughout. Whether you’re lifting off for the first time or refining a familiar pose, you’ll be supported every step of the way.

Why Practice Arm Balances?

• Strengthen your shoulders, arms, core, and wrists

• Build proprioception and body awareness

• Develop resilience and mental focus

• Learn to shift fear into playfulness and presence

• Cultivate trust in your body — even when it’s off the ground

These postures aren’t about brute strength — they’re about connection, breath, and technique.

About Your Teacher

With in-depth training in anatomy and functional movement, I’ll guide you through each pose with clear progressions and practical insight. You’ll walk away not just doing more — but understanding more about your body and how to support it in flight. Expect a warm, encouraging space with room to ask questions, wobble, and surprise yourself.
