Friday 17 November (10.30am-12.30pm & 2-4pm)
Dive deep into the spinal and hip movements and their combinations required in the primary and intermediate series of Ashtanga Yoga.
Focussing on forward bending and the asymmetric forward bends of primary series, you’ll delve into the fascinating world of fascial connections of the pelvis and the shoulder girdle, cultivate an awareness of the midline and explore the movement possibilities of the spine.
Working with the backbends of intermediate series, you’ll explore the intricate movements required of the hips and pelvis when the spine is in extension. You’ll trace the fascial connections that link the pelvis to the shoulder girdle during both spinal flexion and extension, as well as discover the essential movements of the shoulders for backbending.
This workshop is designed to help you understand and integrate key movements required of the primary and intermediate series to foster harmonious movement and a strong and fluid practice in yourself and your students.
Teachers of all styles and experienced practitioners are warmly welcomed. This workshop will transform your practice and enhance your teaching.

About Lucy
Years of experience in holistic bodywork and ashtanga yoga define Lucy’s gentle and profound energy when teaching.
Her interest in a more holistic approach to life started in 1990 working as a massage therapist and aromatherapist in London. On her way to work one day she spotted a long line of people queuing down the road with yoga mats to get into an adjacent building. It was the hugely popular Derek Ireland and Radha Warrell visiting London to teach an Ashtanga workshop!
Lucy joined them and began her Ashtanga journey. She was hooked and soon travelled to Mysore, India to begin her studies with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, and in 1995 was authorised to teach.
The same year she started a family with John Scott whom she met on her first trip to Mysore.
Lucy also collaborated on the book Ashtanga Yoga with Lino Miele, the first of its kind to lay out the sequences and vinyasa count that are so much part of ashtanga yoga.
Lucy’s based in Devon and leads Ashtanga workshops in the UK and internationally.
