“FROM THE GROUND UP” At Soham Yoga Studio whit Sophie Lufkin & Joanna Lancaster

Joanna is dedicated to breaking asana down, giving out subtle and detailed cues for you to feel alignment and engagement instead of “doing a posture”, and slowing all down because slow is strong, the foundations of more complex postures. Sophie has mastered the journey to inversions in the most playful manner and inspires all to gradually build confidence through repetition in a sequence, thus getting you there, upside down, or someone in between, without doubting yourself.

CULTIVATING TRUST AND SERENITY – AKTA YOGA – GENEVA, NOVEMBER 18 FROM 16:30 – 18:30

What is Trust, and how do I enhance serenity?
Join Joanna on Sunday afternoon to have time to
go deep with a well-rounded practice and an emphasis on the principle of letting go…

We will start with a Dharma talk (15-20 mins), get moving gently, to then address more complex asanas in an appropriate frame of mind…

We will finish with a good 15 minutes of guided relaxation… to slide into your  Sunday evening peacefully.

Joanna will share her own struggles and how she overcomes them… A time to talk, play and work hard.

SLOW & STEADY – Hotel Balance, Salvan – Switzerland, May 26-29 2022

Come and join me on an evolutive journey in the Swiss Mountains. 

Exploring the reason why it is not just insightful yet also revealing and furthermore, captivating to pace yourself during practice as well as daily life. So many mysteries and patterns can be revealed when shifting gears, taking an extra conscious breath, an extra moment to feel and go deeper. 

Because slow is strong, not just physically but also mentally, moreover, the key to some sweet freedom since with time and the regular practice of reducing your pace, you become the captain of your own ship. 

Learn to watch, brace yourself through the storm, to own your emotions, and not be the collateral damage of the inner turmoil. 

“Shtira m Sukhan Asanam” Steady and comfortable is the asana.
