Yoga in its authentic form is focused on inclusivity, inner work and peace. But the yoga that is practised in the Western world has got a little lost along the way…

- Unpick the problems in modern yoga
- Understand the fundamentals of what yoga is in its truest form
- Explore key yogic texts and gurus to support our learning
- Add in practical elements of traditional yoga to our current practice, both on and off the mat.
