SUMMARY:Transform Your Yoga: Supporting dynamic seated practice
DESCRIPTION:How does the right support beneath your pelvis change the way your spine can move? \nMany 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. \nIn 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. \nSteadiness 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. \nSuitable for all levels of yoga practitioners\, from beginners to experienced teachers. \nJoin live or watch the recording\nThe workshop will be held live online via Zoom\, giving you the opportunity to learn\, ask questions and explore the practice together. \nIf 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. \nThere 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. \nThis 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. \nAbout Loulou James MCSP\nLoulou is a Spine Health Specialist\, retired physiotherapist\, yoga teacher\, educator and founder of the Buttafly. Drawing on more than 40 years’ experience\, her work explores how the body’s innate intelligence expresses itself through the spine\, and how the right conditions can support greater ease\, adaptability and balance. \nDon’t have a Buttafly yet? You’re still very welcome to join. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of how thoughtful prop use can support your practice and help you decide whether the Buttafly is right for you.

SUMMARY:Transform Your Yoga: Supporting the shoulders and spine
DESCRIPTION:What happens to your spine when you raise your arms? \nYoga frequently asks us to reach our arms overhead\, outwards or behind us. Yet these movements do not happen at the shoulder joints in isolation. The shoulder blades move in relationship to the ribs\, which in turn connect to the thoracic spine. \nWhen movement through the shoulders is limited\, the body intelligently finds another way to complete the action — often through the ribs and spine. What appears to be greater shoulder movement may include the ribs moving forwards or increased extension through the thoracic or lumbar spine. Becoming aware of how the movement is being shared gives us more choice. \nIn this practical workshop\, we’ll use accessible anatomy\, movement and guided awareness to explore the relationship between the shoulders\, rib cage and spine\, and how thoughtful support can reveal new possibilities throughout the upper body. \nSuitable for all levels of yoga practitioners\, from beginners to experienced teachers. \nJoin live or watch the recording\nThe workshop will be held live online via Zoom\, giving you the opportunity to learn\, ask questions and explore the practice together. \nIf 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. \nThere will be opportunities to ask questions during the live workshop.

SUMMARY:Transform Your Yoga: Connecting with the heart space
DESCRIPTION:What changes when heart opening begins with support rather than effort? \nHeart opening begins long before we move into a backbend. It begins by meeting the body where it is and becoming aware of the relationship between the pelvis\, spine\, rib cage\, shoulders and breath. When the body is appropriately supported\, space can begin to emerge without lifting\, pushing or holding the chest in a particular shape. \nIn this practical workshop\, we’ll explore how the Buttafly can support a range of gentle and more active practices around the heart space. Through thoughtful positioning and guided awareness\, you’ll be invited to notice how the support beneath one part of the body influences the response elsewhere — how the ribs move with the breath\, how the shoulders relate to the upper spine and how the pelvis provides a foundation for movement. \nRather than asking the body to reproduce an external idea of a heart-opening pose\, we’ll explore how comfort\, breath and appropriate support can create the conditions for expansion to emerge from within. \nSuitable for all levels of yoga practitioners\, from beginners to experienced teachers. \nJoin live or watch the recording\nThe workshop will be held live online via Zoom\, giving you the opportunity to learn\, ask questions and explore the practice together. \nIf 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. \nThere will be opportunities to ask questions during the live workshop.
