Friday 3 October 2025 (12.30-4pm)
As part of the Ashtanga Weekend Intensive
This special workshop is designed for yoga teachers and experienced practitioners who want to deepen their understanding of the structural and energetic relationships between the feet, hips, pelvis and spine.
With her roots in both Ashtanga and holistic bodywork, Lucy will guide you through practical ways to observe and work with these connections – through fascia, felt sense and movement – so you can better support your students in developing healthy, sustainable patterns in practice.
You'll explore how movement initiated in the feet and hips influences the pelvis and spine, and how this understanding can inform your verbal cues, hands-on assists and sequencing choices. Rooted in the postures of the primary and intermediate series, this workshop will offer insight and inspiration for your own teaching and practice.
Teachers from all styles are welcome.

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.
