In Sanskrit, "bandha" translates as "lock." 

The bandhas help us activate deep inner strength and alignment without relying on the 'brute force' of muscle mass.   Bandhas combine physicality, breathe, and focussed energetic awareness (inc. imagery and the imagination) to activate energetic flow & alignment in the body. They are  energetic locks in the body that help us find ease, grace, lift and alignment in our yoga practice.

In this 90-minute workshop, we will explore Mula Bandha – the pelvic floor muscles and Uddiyana Bandha – the abdominals/ diaphragm through Floss' signature 'Spirit Level Breath' practice. This is a meditative breathing technique which will teach you to connect to, activate and engage with your bandhas and core, to help you find lift - and hold - in your inversions. 

We will then explore different poses and movements which utilise the bandhas, including jumping to the top of the mat and building up to an L-handstand against the wall.

Learn more about the bandhas in my blog here.

The two other workshops are on the hands and feet - Hasta and Padha Bandha - and the side body/ trunk through rotations and spirals in the upper amrs and shoulders.

Workshops are £20 each or all three for £45, saving £15!
