The lower back has a greater degree of movement than the rest. Full cobra will agrevate if there is a weakness. This “easy cobra” may actually be higher than the back is comfortable with. Extending the arm further away is a great place to start if there are any problems with the back.
It’s important to listen to your body and not your Ego ( especially if there are others in a class with stronger backs).

Zoe is a great teacher, shame I can’t be there. Highly recommended.

We’ve still got a few spaces left for next Saturday’s training — a fantastic opportunity to deepen both your teaching and your personal yoga practice, and you don’t need to be a teacher to benefit from this CPD. In this practical and inspiring workshop, you’ll explore the Posture Profile, a key tool in modern yoga training, and learn how to apply it to asana with clear awareness of anatomy, physiology, and movement principles. Rather than simply “doing” poses, you’ll discover how to recognise limiting factors, protect vulnerable areas, and use staged progressions to make every posture safer, stronger, and more accessible for all.

You will:

Learn how to confidently use the Posture Profile format

Practise asana through a thoughtful staged approach that supports all bodies

Perfect for teachers, trainee teachers, and experienced practitioners, this workshop offers insights that instantly enrich your classes and your personal practice.

Led by the much-loved and highly respected Zoe Knott - a BWY Diploma Course Tutor with over 40 years of experience - you’ll gain practical tools and clear understanding to build strength, clarity, and confidence in every pose.

Click below to join us next Saturday 29th November, 10.30-16.00, at St Paul's Parish rooms, Reading road, Wokingham, RG41 1ED and take your practice and teaching to the next level!

Warrior 2, foot placement for open hips, knee alignment, shoulders steady and softening. Lots going on in this pose. Plenty to reflect on.

Last week of this term, we looked at ankles in chair and down-dog and some back strengthening for cobra. We work with a bit of philosophy from Patanjali .
New term starts on 2nd September. We have a space for a new member..

I’m looking forward to this.

Are you free next Saturday?

We're delighted to invite you to what promises to be a truly special workshop — practical, experiential, and rich with philosophical insight. We're thrilled to have Wendy Teasdill leading the day. With her depth of experience as a yoga teacher and author, Wendy brings a unique ability to weave together movement and meaning. Her teaching gently guides you into both practice and reflection, often sparking real and lasting shifts in how you approach yoga — on and off the mat.

The venue, in Oxford, is easily accessible by public transport and there is parking. It's going to be a fantastic immersive day of yoga. To book your tickets please follow the link below;
