Transform Your Yoga: Supporting dynamic seated practice
How does the right support beneath your pelvis change the way your spine can move?
Many seated yoga practices ask the body to twist, fold and extend while maintaining a stable foundation. When too much effort is devoted to holding that foundation, movement and breath can become restricted. When the pelvis is well supported, there is more freedom to feel, explore and move.
In this practical workshop, we’ll use the Buttafly in a range of dynamic seated practices, experimenting with thoughtful positioning and small adjustments. Rather than trying to achieve a deeper pose, you’ll be invited to notice how changes beneath the pelvis influence movement through the spine — where you find ease, where effort arises and how your breath responds.
Steadiness does not mean holding the body rigidly in place. We’ll explore how a more supported foundation can allow stability and mobility to work together, opening new possibilities for movement from within.
Suitable for all levels of yoga practitioners, from beginners to experienced teachers.
Join live or watch the recording
The workshop will be held live online via Zoom, giving you the opportunity to learn, ask questions and explore the practice together.
If you can’t make it live, or would simply like to revisit what you’ve learned, everyone who books will receive access to the workshop recording for 7 days.
There will be opportunities to ask questions during the live workshop. If you’d like personalised guidance specific to your own body or practice, one-to-one consultations are also available.
This workshop forms part of Transform Your Yoga, a series exploring the relationship between the spine and the rest of the body — and how support, awareness and curiosity can change the way we experience yoga. Each session brings together accessible anatomy, imagery, movement and guided awareness, inviting you to notice your own patterns and understand your body more deeply through your own experience. Each workshop can be enjoyed on its own or as part of the complete series.
