Yoga for your life
A day-long online event
Linking postural yoga to what matters most to you
Yoga for your whole life
Sunday 15 Sept
Drop in and out - online classes through the day
Yoga is clearly helpful for wellbeing and a positive influence on our life. We can however maximise this impact and make stronger links between our asana practice and our work, relationships and family.
This day is about increasing the effectiveness about how you get yoga “off the mat” and making it impactful for what you most care about. This is yoga for your life not your hamstrings.
P.s All calls will be recorded, so if you miss any you can watch afterwards
What will you get from this event?
This event is for experienced and intermediate yogis, coaches and embodiment practitioners who’d like to:
• learn new poses to explore new things
• gain practical tools for linking asana to daily life
• enrich their practice with a new layer of psychological depth
• share this with others
We know there is a ton of yoga available online but the sad truth of it that most of is either the same old approach, new age nonsense, or crap gymnastics. This event though is something genuinely different, useful and enjoyable. It’s not for everyone, but if you want a Western but deep approach to add to what you’re already doing then come along. All the teachers are trained in a method called Embodied Yoga Principles.

Examples of themes we will explore
In Embodied Yoga Principles we use a range of 26 postures with specific intentions and mindfulness-based inquiries, some postures are regular hatha yoga postures and some are new, developed to create specific qualities.
A personal invitation from your event hosts:
Mark Walsh and Vidyadasa
It's a pleasure for us to invite you to participate in this event to explore yoga and Embodied Yoga Principles. It's an excellent opportunity to learn transformative embodiment practices for everyday living with skilled practitioners.
Online technology now makes it easier for people to connect with practices, and people trying to find a way through modern life's challenges. Gain inspiration and support to create or sustain an embodied yoga practice to make changes in your life.
We invite you to join us with these skilled teachers on a one-day event together.

how will the event work?
The event consists of Zoom sessions (these are like group Skype calls). Zoom is an online video conference platform- it’s free to use, easy to access and allows the opportunity for you to participate and interact with the speaker and/or other participants.
The sessions will be between 45mins to 1 hour long.
Zoom calls will be led by an experienced teacher, and usually include opportunities for questions, there will also be an opening session at the beginning of the day and a closing session at the end.
There will be 10+ live video calls per day, all calls will be recorded and available for download for a week after the event. That means you can choose to join the live event or listen, and re-listen to the recording of any session at a time that is convenient for you.
If you want to know more about Zoom, how to use it and its possibilities and limitations, we will be sharing an introductory “how to use zoom” video before the event…but basically, it’s free and easy and can be used on many devices – desktops, laptops, tablets and mobiles.
There will also be a private Facebook group for conversations to take place and for other information.
Requirements
• The event will not be athletic and all bodies are very welcome, some sessions may be more physical than others but you can always adapt you your own level of ability and we will offer guidance where necessary.
• No previous experience of yoga, meditation or embodied work is required
• It’s recommended to have a Facebook account as discussion and some resources will be posted there
• A good internet connection helps with Zoom and break-out discussions if you can make the calls live
• Remember calls will be recorded and available to download for one week after the event.

(including exploring our relationship to money and marketing)
Yoga is not about escaping life
Its about engaging in life – more intimately, with care, kindness, sensitivity and strength, courage and creativity with reality – the pains, pleasures, work, relationships, family and friends, and the difficult, ugly sides of life as well as the easy, beautiful or transcendent.
Embodied Yoga Principles Yoga in particular can bring awareness to difficult thoughts, feelings and emotions so if you are currently suffering with mental health issues, now may not be the right time for you to participate in an event like this.
Are you ready to engage with
Yoga for your whole life?

What people say about EYP
Sindre
Oslo, Norway
“Embodied Yoga is a refreshing take on yoga as a method of self-enquiry and transformation. Highly effective for transforming your patterns of behaviour.”
Jane Dancey
Eastbourne, UK
“Embodied Yoga offers a much needed fresh authentic perspective on yoga. It’s not offering an opportunity to float off into spiritual la-la and distance oneself from life’s suffering, on the contrary it encourages the participant to become fully aware and to take responsibility for what is going on in their body and mind, becoming aware of patterns and shadows in a safe supported environment.”
Jo Miller
Kent, UK
“I first experienced EYP on an embodiment for a business week-long course. I was at first skeptical about how this may be done remotely online, but the day event was so impactful in my day to day life that I then went on to do the full EYP Teacher Training course. I’d endorse any training in this via any method.”
Amanda Brown
Cornwall, UK
“EYP brings rigorous self enquiry into my physical practice. It’s a way of bringing self study to life in practical and playful ways. EYP is adaptable, you can use it in simple ways to enhance a general yoga class and in a life changing way in longer workshops.”
