The School offers workshops of various lengths.

The one-day workshop covers many aspects of yoga and generally  includes 2 yoga posture sessions, breathing techniques, relaxation, chanting, meditation, talk on a particular yoga subject, walk in the woods or park, and eating a healthy lunch in a meditative way.

The half-day workshop covers one particular area as its main theme such as Pranayama/Breathing Techniques; Mantra Yoga; Meditation; or Asanas/yoga postures - to increase flexibility, strength and balance.

There are also workshops for one hour, e.g. the Headstand Workshop & the Sun Salutation Workshop - please see more info further down, as well as a video clip of the Sun Salutation.

In addition to the yoga school venue, these workshops can also be held at different locations. Please contact Kamal with your requirements (for individuals and groups).

SUN SALUTATION WORKSHOP. The Sun Salutation is a flowing sequence of yoga positions, which help to improve your overall health - even if just practiced 15 minutes daily. It can be performed at a slow, medium or fast pace. Variations can be inserted into the main sequence. After mastering the main sequence, chakra visualisation and mantra recitation can be incorporated.

There are also Sun Salutation sequences with easier positions so that people who are very inflexible or have certain health issues can do that practice and then work themselves up to the main sequence.

HEADSTAND WORKSHOP. The headstand - known as the King of the Asanas (postures) -  due to its abundant health benefits. Before attending the workshop, you need to have worked on strengthening your stomach and arm muscles. If you are not attending my classes I can give you some tips how to strengthen these areas before coming to the workshop.

Some of the benefits of the headstand: more blood supply to brain and spine. Alleviation or disappearance of illnesses of eyes, ears, nose, neck and nerves. Alleviates varicose veins, constipation, kidney problems. Helps asthma sufferers as the lungs get cleansed. Increases the blood circulation in the scalp - which can lead to lessening of loosing one's hair - and to the  face (reduction of getting wrinkles in the face). The headstand is rejuvenating. It increases muscular coordination, balance & poise, concentration, courage; it improves brain functions such as memory, concentration, mental clarity, will power. There are some contra-indications, in these cases the person needs to perform various yoga techniques to get rid of the condition before embarking on the headstand - one such example is high blood pressure.
