Who can join the workshop?
The workshop is open to students of mixed levels of ability, including anyone who has been practising Yoga for a few months. It’s open to students who can ‘nearly’ come into the pose, or students who are fairly new to the pose, but would like to try this in a safe, trusted but playful environment. The workshop is ideal for students who are are generally fit and healthy.
What if I want to learn, but can’t come into the poses just yet?
Please don’t worry if you aren’t able to come into the full postures just yet, you will be guided on how to build up stage by stage. Once you begin to understand the key muscle groups and what parts of the body to warm up, you will work safely with alternative poses, and gradually master variations of the pose. It’s an explorative morning and you will be learning new tips and ideas, and you are more than welcome to attend.
The £45 price includes the following:
Mini handouts on how to prepare and safely come out of the poses.
Self practice video with techniques on how to practice the poses safely.

Your teacher
Jasmin remembers only too well in her first few years of practice, how it took her 12 months of regular practice to build up into headstand posture safely and securely. She took her time to learn the pose and is confident to teach this poses for all levels of ability. If you are a regular practitioner of these poses, she will help guide you in the variations of the postures and how to deepen the practice. When you are nervous or don’t know how to step into something with ease and confidence, its often the fear factor of the unknown. Part of the morning will be spent on how to bring calmness to body, mind and breath for a safe and uplifting practice.
Jasmin is the course director of the Bahia Yoga 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training Programme.
