Yoga CPD Weekend Workshop October 15/16th 2011 in Bristol
The viniyoga of Āyurveda – Lifestyle Skills & Yoga Teachings
The study and practice of Yoga has, for many centuries, been linked to the study of complementary arts from Indian culture such as Mantra, textual Chanting, Karnāṭaka music or Āyurveda lifestyle skills.
For example, traditionally Āyurveda and Yoga went hand in hand and the importance of understanding the principles of Āyurveda is obvious when exploring Yoga texts such as the Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā.

cYs Introductory Haṭha Study Weekend May 12/13th 2012 in Bristol
Introductory Haṭha Study Courses
The weekend course is complete in itself and offers a sound overview of the core principles of Haṭha Yoga. It is an opportunity for a Yoga student from any Yoga background or style to experience an in-depth introduction to the concepts and practices which underpin Haṭha Yoga. It presents a view of the core Haṭha concepts in Yoga through which students can support and develop their own practice and deepen their appreciation of the possibilities for why a view such as Haṭha can support our lives. We will explore how they inspire and guide our personal Yoga practice and study, as well as our Yoga teaching.
