Transform your yoga with the Buttafly — connecting with the heart space

Heart opening begins long before we move into a backbend. It starts by meeting the body where it is, creating the conditions for the chest, shoulders and upper spine to soften, respond and move more freely.

In this practical workshop, we’ll explore how the Buttafly can support a range of gentle and more active practices that encourage greater space and mobility around the heart. Through thoughtful positioning and intelligent support, we’ll discover how comfort, ease and natural alignment allow expansion to emerge from within, rather than asking the body to force a particular shape.

We’ll consider the relationship between the pelvis, spine, shoulders and breath, exploring ways to encourage natural alignment while allowing the chest and upper body to open with greater comfort and confidence.

Suitable for all levels of yoga practitioner, from beginners to experienced teachers.

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 the Transform Your Yoga with the Buttafly series. Each workshop explores a different aspect of yoga practice and can be enjoyed on its own or as part of the complete series.
