Little Moments of Calm

Simple practices to soothe your nervous system and move towards feeling more calm, grounded and resourced.

Friday 27th November 2026, 18:30-20:30
at Whitstable Yoga & Wellbeing Centre
£30.00

Join me for a nurturing, practical workshop exploring how simple yoga-inspired movements, somatic practices and breathwork can support your nervous system and help you move towards a greater sense of safety and calm.

We’ll begin with a brief introduction to different nervous system states and how they might show up in our thoughts, feelings, bodies and behaviours. Through a guided and gentle self-reflection, you’ll have the opportunity to explore how each state feels for you, as well as how it can shape the way you perceive others and the world around you.

We’ll then move into an embodied exploration of practices including self-soothing touch, shearing, grounding techniques, breathwork and gentle yoga-inspired movements. You’ll be invited to experiment with these techniques, notice how you respond to them and discover which you might find most supportive. We’ll finish with restorative yoga and a long, luxurious rest in savasana.

You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of your nervous system and a collection of simple, accessible practices to draw on in everyday life whenever you need a little support.

Open to all – no previous yoga or somatic movement experience necessary.

Please bring a notebook and pen (handouts will also be provided), a drink and wear warm, comfortable clothing.

The Healing Path: Eight Limbs of Yoga

Ancient wisdom meets modern science

Six Fridays in 2027 (dates below), 18:30-20:30
at Whitstable Yoga & Wellbeing Centre
£30.00 per session

Details of discount for booking all six sessions coming soon.

Join me for a six-part workshop series exploring how the ancient wisdom of yoga can inform a more nurturing, compassionate approach to practice.

Drawing on the eight limbs of yoga outlined in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, alongside insights from modern science and our understanding of the nervous system, we’ll explore how yoga can support our wellbeing and help us navigate the effects of stress, chronic stress and trauma.

Together, we’ll bridge East and West, connecting these ancient teachings with our modern-day experiences and discovering practical ways to cultivate greater awareness, self-compassion, balance and a sense of safety within ourselves.

Rather than focusing solely on physical postures, this series invites us to explore yoga as a holistic path towards wellbeing, both on and off the mat. We’ll consider how the eight limbs can underpin a trauma-informed practice that honours our individual needs, experiences and boundaries.

Suitable for all levels of yoga experience, these workshops offer space to explore, reflect and discover ways to bring the wisdom and nourishing potential of yoga into everyday life.

  • Ethical principles: how we relate to the world around us

    We begin with the five Yamas, the ethical principles that form the foundation of Patanjali’s eight-limbed path. We’ll explore how these teachings can guide the way we relate to ourselves and others, supporting a more compassionate, conscious and nourishing approach to life and yoga.

  • Personal disciplines: how we relate to ourselves

    Explore the five Niyamas and how they can deepen our understanding of ourselves, our habits and our needs. Discover how these principles can help us cultivate contentment and self-acceptance, reconnect with our inner strength and reclaim a sense of personal agency. They offer a foundation for a gentle yet committed approach to yoga, self-enquiry and personal transformation.

  • The physical practice of yoga (poses)

    Explore how the principles of sthira (steadiness) and sukha (ease) can guide our physical practice, helping us cultivate greater ease, freedom and comfort within our bodies, both in movement and in stillness. We’ll explore the importance of listening to our bodies, honouring our needs and learning to meet ourselves where we are, embracing an asana practice that is responsive, compassionate and free from the pressure to achieve a particular shape or outcome.Description text goes here

  • DesThe practice of breath and energy

    Explore the role of breath in yoga and its relationship with stress and nervous system regulation. We’ll consider how to approach breathwork sensitively, recognising that different breathing practices affect people differently.

  • Turning inward and cultivating concentration

    Discover Pratyahara, the practice of turning our attention inward, and Dharana, the cultivation of focused attention. In this workshop, we’ll explore how, when approached gently and at a pace that feels right for us, Pratyahara can support a shift away from tendencies such as hypervigilance and towards a reconnection with our inner world and deeper sense of self. We’ll also explore how Dharana can help us cultivate a steadier awareness of the present moment and find moments of rest in the here and now.

  • Meditation and the experience of integration

    Our final workshop explores Dhyana, the practice of meditation, and Samadhi, often described as a state of deep absorption, integration or unity. We’ll reflect on how the practice of Dhyana may help us gently re-open our hearts and cultivate greater self-acceptance — creating space for change to unfold. We’ll also explore the teachings around Samadhi and the possibility of experiencing moments of connection, spaciousness and a sense of being part of something greater than ourselves, as well as moments of joy, peace and deep contentment.
