Ashtanga Yoga Manchester

🌿 This week I am away at Trigonos, supporting the wonderful team during their residential week.

As a result, there will be no classes or practice sessions this week.

I look forward to returning refreshed and inspired, and all classes will be back to normal from next Monday.

Wishing everyone a wonderful week of practice, rest, and connection. 🙏

Keep breathing, keep moving, and remember that yoga is as much about how we live as how we practise. ✨

Thank you all for your continued support, and I look forward to seeing you back on the mat next week.

Harness the Power of Your Breath: Breathwork & Asana Workshop with Sammy-Jo

Join me on Saturday 14th June at Studio 17, Heaton Moor, for an empowering 2-hour workshop that will transform how you breathe, move, and connect with your body. Discover the incredible benefits of breathwork and yoga postures (asana) to enhance your mental clarity, reduce stress, and build resilience—physically, mentally, and emotionally. This workshop is designed to support your overall well-being, helping you better manage life's challenges by tuning into your breath and body.

In these sessions, you will learn:

The mechanics of breathing and how to release tension from key muscles like the diaphragm and psoas to improve your breath’s flow.

Somatic movements and therapeutic asanas that help unlock fascia, strengthen the pelvic floor, and cultivate healthy movement patterns.

Diaphragmatic breathing and pranayama practices to calm the nervous system and promote inner peace.

Techniques to extend the exhale and create space for relaxation, leading to improved self-awareness and a deeper mind-body connection.

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced yogi seeking a softer, more nurturing practice, this workshop will guide you toward better self-care and greater awareness. Learn how breathwork can become your superpower, shifting your internal state from negative to positive and promoting lifelong resilience and well-being.

Investment: £20
Time: 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM

🌿☀️Happy Easter everyone ✨

I hope this long weekend has given you the opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and spend time doing things that truly support your health and wellbeing.

Spring invites renewal — a chance to gently reset, to let go of what feels heavy, and to welcome in fresh energy. As the days grow lighter and the sun strengthens, we can begin to rebuild, restore, and realign with what nourishes us most 🌱

Take a moment to breathe deeply, soak up the warmth of the sun, and honour where you are right now. There is so much power in these small, intentional pauses.

Join me this week to continue your practice and reconnect:
