A Quiet Update — New Training Begins This Weekend

We’ve been quiet lately.

That quiet came with intention. A chance to pause and reflect — not only on the content of what we teach, but how we offer our trainings, and who they’ve truly reached.

Through that pause, we realised that even with care and good intentions, our previous yoga teacher trainings may have unintentionally excluded some people. We’ve been gently reworking that.

Without much promotion or planning, a new Yoga Teacher Training is beginning this weekend (10–11 May). This new intake begins with a group made up of People of Colour, and that feels like a real blessing — and a sign of something shifting in how we hold space.

The course is open to all bodies, Black, Brown, and White, and is rooted in an inclusive, trauma-informed, and decolonial approach to yoga.

When we speak about decolonising yoga, we mean reconnecting with its roots — understanding it as a deep and layered tradition that has been shaped by African, South Asian, and Asian movement and healing systems. It’s about recognising how colonial histories have influenced how yoga has been packaged, taught, and accessed — and doing the ongoing work to offer something more respectful and whole.

We aim to teach with care. We explore yoga not just as postures, but as a path of breath, attention, rest, rhythm, community, and healing.

The training is led by Jasminder Bahia, and supported by Bhavna Patel. It includes practices such as asana, pranayama, mantra, kriyas, and bandhas, alongside neuroscience and embodied psychology. We meet once a month — one day online, one day in person in Nottingham — with space to integrate and reflect.

If this feels like the right space for you, we’re taking final applications until Thursday.

You are welcome here.
