Background
I’ve been practising yoga for years, and over time I’ve noticed familiar patterns in how I move — strengths I rely on, areas that feel limited, and postures where I seem to reach the same point again and again. It has made me curious about what’s actually happening in my body.
That curiosity led me to explore the anatomy behind the shapes we make in yoga, and to look more closely at my own movement patterns through physio‑informed observation and visual feedback. Analysing my movement has helped me understand how introducing complementary movement tools can help create more space and ease in yoga.
I’m still very much exploring this work, and it continues to shape how I practise.
These workshops are a chance to share that exploration — not as finished answers, but as useful ways of looking at your own movement, understanding the anatomy of asana, and thinking beyond the mat.
