Yoga News: Spring Workshops!

Karen Watson

I’m delighted to announce that Karen Watson is coming over from London for a one-day workshop on

Sunday May 12.

Karen is a senior Shadow yoga teacher, adept at guiding a class with a serenity that invites everyone to be fully engaged with their practice. Her knowledge of yoga – the asana, philosophy, language, and progressive practices such as mantra – are immense. No matter your level, you will be enriched by being in Karen’s class.

I know this from personal experience! Karen guided me through an apprenticeship that gave me the skills to begin teaching Shadow hatha yoga.

Check out Karen’s website to learn more about her work. The venue for the workshop is to be confirmed, but probably in Dublin. Two sessions, 9 – 11 am and 3 – 5 pm are planned.

If you’re already convinced, book here!

Karen is offering a sweet early bird rate until 12 April.

If you’re not sure, I will send out more information soon Be sure to sign up for my newsletter (below). Save the date, and please ask me if you have questions!

No prior Shadow yoga experience is necessary, Karen is looking forward to connecting or re-connecting with you, and supporting all levels of practitioner.

2nd Prelude Workshop

Join me to practice the Chaya Yoddha Sancalanam, the prelude that refines our sensitivity to the subtleties of coordinating breath with movement. Featuring forward bend variations and some strong warrior forms, this is a beautiful practice for drawing inwards.

Benefits of the Balakrama

  • You’ll feel stronger! The Warrior and Archer poses stoke the fire of agni, your digestive fire. This refers to physical and mental digestion – food, and processing events and happenings in your life.
  • Your mental focus will be enhanced through the structure and rhythm of the practice.
  • Joint mobility improves. The joint warm up is a gentle hint to the body that we use at every practice, and the toes, ankles, knees and hips gain power and space through the Balakrama activity.
  • It’s good for your bones. Static standing poses help to maintain strong leg bones which support bone density
  • Your breathing becomes deeper more rhythmic. As we apply “good stress” to the body and practice maintaining a smooth inhalation and exhalation, the lungs grow more capable of this deeper breathing.
  • Coordination improves through the “prana mudra” elements. “Prana” is the life energy that circulates, and “mudra” is a position. We move the arms in an expressive way, moving our energy as well.
  • The sum of this work cultivates a foundation for seated asana.
