LAST CALL: Into the Upside-Down 🙃

Headstand can feel like a big leap.

Challenging. Frustrating. Sometimes intimidating.

This Saturday, we’re slowing it down.

In this focused 2.5-hour workshop, we’ll take a logical and pragmatic approach to Salamba Sirsasana — exploring the principles and purpose of the pose, and moving through a thoughtfully designed flow to help you build:

• stability
• engagement
• balance
• confidence

The aim isn’t just to “get up” — but to understand what you’re doing and move toward a safe, steady headstand with clarity.

📍 Saturday 7 March
⏰ 10am–12.30pm

If headstand has been on your mind, this is for you.

Such a fab day. Thanks to all who came along to raise funds for SAMH. And huge thanks to Nicole and Kat, of course (and to Nicole’s mum and mum-in-law for the baking)!

Winter isn’t just for quiet reflection – it’s also a time to celebrate, move and share joy!

At MCY our winter festival has something for every kind of celebration. Festive Flow with Matt, Kat & Nicole invites playful, energising movement in support of a great cause. Our final Ashtanga Led Primary of 2025 is our chance to mark the year together, and of course there’s my legendary chai to share afterward. For something slower and still deeply nourishing, Ema’s Winter Solstice Yin-Vin will help you move mindfully into the longest night of the year and her Winter Holiday Kīrtan lifts your voices in song for MILK Glasgow.

Every class, every workshop, every gathering is an invitation – to move, to connect, to play and to celebrate the season with the MCY community. There’s joy in shared breath, in music, in laughter, in the simple act of being together.

We’ll love to see you in whichever way feels right for you – whether that’s moving, resting, singing or simply soaking up the warmth of our winter community.

Highlights coming up:

⭐ Festive Flow for SAMH w/ Matt, Kat & Nicole - Sat 13 Dec

⭐ Candlelit Meditation & Yoga Nidra - Sun 14 Dec

⭐ 108 Sun Salutations for Yogability – Sat 20 Dec

⭐ Final Ashtanga Led Primary & Chai - Sun 21 Dec

⭐ Into the Dark | Winter Solstice Yin-Vin w/ Ema - Mon 22 Dec

Had the most amazing time practising with and learning from Lucy Crawford at MCY this weekend. She offers incredible anatomical and energetic insights into yoga, and has a unique, bodywork-informed approach to adjustments. Always inspiring and illuminating.

Thanks so much to Judi for hosting, and to Lucy for sharing her knowledge and twisting me into various pretzel formations.

Already looking forward to next year!

My second favourite thing about running a workshop is that it gives me an excuse to hit the books and absolutely geek out. I’ve been thinking about nothing but shoulders for the past month, in (over-)preparation for last weekend’s pincha workshop at Merchant City Yoga.

But my absolute favourite thing about running a workshop is seeing people challenge themselves, gain new insights and discover what they’re capable of.

Thank you to everyone who came for your enthusiasm, energy and curiosity. ‘Til next time!

P.S. I must give special credit to Ella Cojocaru (Ellavate Yoga), who completely broke down and rebuilt my pincha and changed my perspective on this pose. Her approach informed a big chunk of this workshop. Thanks Ella!

A BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO FOREARM STAND – this weekend at Merchant City Yoga

Pincha Mayurasana is a demanding, but highly rewarding inversion that combines aspects of both headstand and handstand, yet has its own unique challenges.

This 2.5-hour workshop will:

• introduce the purpose and principles of the pose
• guide you through a yoga flow to prepare the body for Pincha
• help you build a solid foundation
• offer drills for strength, mobility and body awareness.

Suitable for both beginners and more experienced practitioners looking to refine and revitalise their Pincha.

Saturday 30 August 2025, 2–4:30

Step into the world of Butoh at MCY this Saturday!

Butoh isn’t about performance or perfection — it’s about listening deeply to the body, exploring memories and dreams, allowing yourself to be danced.

Through grounding, fluid-awareness and moving-meditation exercises, you’ll dissolve tension, heighten your sensitivity to body energies, and explore surreal imagery as a gateway to the Imagination-body.

✨ No experience needed — just curiosity and a willingness to move. These workshops are for anyone who wants to expand their sense of what the body can be, whether or not you consider yourself a dancer. Every body, every story, every movement is welcome.

Your guide, Paul Michael Henry, has studied with many of Butoh’s most renowned teachers and has been teaching and performing internationally for over 15 years. His approach weaves together tradition, lived experience and personal research, creating a space of care, depth and exploration.

Join us this Saturday 23rd August, 3-6pm. Book your place now > https://momence.com/s/120908364
