Transform Your Yoga: Experiencing the pelvis from within
What does a “neutral pelvis” actually mean in a living, moving body?
For many people, their first introduction to the pelvis is being asked to find a “neutral” position. This can make the pelvis seem like something we need to place correctly and hold, rather than a responsive part of the body that continually adapts to gravity, support and movement.
The pelvis is central to how we sit, stand and move, transferring weight and movement between the legs and spine. In this practical workshop, we’ll explore its relationship with the hips, spine, ground and the rest of the body through accessible anatomy, imagery, movement and guided awareness.
With thoughtful positioning and support from the Buttafly, you’ll be invited to notice how your experience changes as the conditions change. Rather than trying to place the pelvis in a prescribed position, we’ll explore how the body can sense, respond and organise itself with greater comfort and ease.
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.
