Yoga Untangled and Shiatsu and Thai Massage Training Scotland's workshop, Thai Yoga Massage Skills for Yoga Teachers, is happening at MCY next Sunday 17th August!

This one-day workshop invites you to explore the subtle power of touch as a form of communication, connection and care. Through the lens of Thai Yoga Massage, you’ll develop the skills to offer assists that feel not just safe, but supportive, intuitive and deeply grounding.

This immersive day weaves together ancient practices and modern understanding - from Thai techniques and mantra, to fascia awareness, Alexander Technique, and the yoga principles of sthira and sukham. You’ll build confidence in your hands-on assists and refine your presence as a teacher - so your touch speaks as clearly as your voice.

Are you still floating on summer holiday vibes? Or are you starting to feel a gentle nudge towards Autumn and a bit more structure? I always find August a mix of both – it’s kind of between seasons.

At MCY, August is a celebration with the graduation of another group of teacher trainees. It’s one of my favourite moments in the year – watching a group who began as strangers now moving forward with confidence, connection and a deeper understanding of their practice.

People join our teacher training for all kinds of reasons. Some want to teach, others are simply curious. Most just want to carve out time to explore something they love, and do it in good company.

What’s always struck me is how often the real impact of training shows up quietly – in how people relate to their families, how they show up at work, how they talk about things that matter. It’s not always about becoming a teacher. It’s often just about becoming more yourself.

See you in class ☀️

A lunchtime yoga class might feel indulgent — but it’s not. It’s strategic.

Movement, breath, and stillness don’t take you away from your day — they prepare you for it.

Yoga helps regulate your nervous system, sharpen focus, and ease physical tension — all of which feed directly into how you think, feel, and show up for the rest of your day.

In just 45 minutes, you return to your desk not depleted, but refocused — calmer, clearer, more present.

As Matt says, “Those first few moments, as you sit, observe and connect to the breath, are really magical. It only takes a few breaths for a palpable sense of calm to descend.”

Come feel it for yourself. Join Matt every Friday at 12.30pm for Yoga Flow in the studio.

Lucy Crawford will be with us here in Glasgow for 3 days in early October. We can't wait!!! 🤩

As part of Lucy's Ashtanga Weekend Intensive, she'll be sharing a special workshop designed for yoga teachers and experienced practitioners on Friday 3rd October. This workshop is for those 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.

This workshop can be booked as part of the Weekend Intensive or on its own. You'll find all the details and can book your place here > https://merchantcityyoga.com/workshops-and-courses?category=Lucy+Crawford
