Discover the secrets to a resilient and flexible spine with our 'SPINAL YOGA & MOBILITY FLOW' program. Tailored for movement, yoga, and somatic educators, this immersive 1, 2, or 3-day intensive offers in-depth training.
Participants will gain vital tools to increase spinal flexibility, develop dynamic mobility sequences, and build core strength, essential for a healthier, more agile body.

Discover the Dance of the Spine: a journey to spinal health that combines strength with fluidity. Every movement in our practice is a step towards a stronger, more flexible spine, prioritising your spinal wellness with each graceful motion.
Embrace Wholeness in Motion: our approach integrates mobility, strength, and flowing movements to achieve holistic spinal health. It’s a symphony of exercises that work in harmony for your spine’s vitality.
Experience the Dynamic Spine: Carefully crafted sequences are designed to liberate and enhance your spinal mobility. As such we will focus on movements that free your spine, allowing it to move with ease and strength.
Build Core Resilience: We start from the center, building strength outward and teaching mindful connections, ensuring that every movement strengthens the core, fortifying the spine from within.
Join our Integrated Practices for Spinal Vitality: Learn the art of holistic spinal wellness. An integrated practice offers profound insights into designing dynamic sequences. This is more than exercise; it’s a transformational journey for your spine.
Created for certified yoga teachers, this training is also open to eager practitioners ready to challenge themselves on the journey to spinal well-being.
Certification: Upon completion, attendees will receive the S&F Yoga "Spinal &, Mobility Flow" Certificate (15h), symbolising their commitment to mastering the intricacies of spinal vitality.
Introduction to Yin Yoga
This 6 week course is designed to introduce you to the beauty of stillness
Starting on the 21st of January 12pm - 1pm, £45
On a physical level, Yin Yoga focuses on the deep fascia, ligaments and bones.
It is a passive type of yoga that challenges the mind into surrendering and allows you to be in the moment.
Simple postures are held for longer times to stretch and compress different parts of the body, working on the whole body meridian system, improving overall health and wellbeing.
The act of surrendering to the pose, allowing the body to feel what it needs to feel as you melt into it is very liberating and allows you to deeply relax while releasing what needs to be released.
You don't have to be flexible or have the "perfect" body to practice Yin Yoga, we are all unique and each of us is perfect just as we are. All you need is to be curious and open to experience the beauty of this simple yet powerful practice.
If you're curious, drop me a line or visit www.souloftheearth.uk for more info.
You can book either through www.cardiffpilatesstudio.co.uk or directly with me.
