Transform Your Yoga: Finding steadiness and ease in sitting
What changes when the pelvis is given the support it needs?
The quality of our sitting influences everything that follows. Whether for meditation, pranayama or simply taking a quiet moment, finding steadiness and ease creates the foundation for a more comfortable and sustainable practice.
Yet sitting is often approached as something we should simply be able to do — or as a posture we need to correct and hold. Many of us have quietly lost the ability to sit with ease, balance and support.
Inspired by the yogic principles of sthira (steadiness) and sukha (ease), we’ll explore how the Buttafly provides an ergonomic foundation for the pelvis, allowing the spine to organise itself with greater ease. Rather than trying to “sit up straight,” we’ll use simple adjustments to reduce unnecessary holding and bracing, allowing the deeper postural muscles to contribute more naturally and creating greater freedom to breathe, feel and notice what is happening within.
Whether sitting for meditation, pranayama or simply taking a quiet moment, steadiness and ease create the foundation for a more comfortable and sustainable practice.
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.
