About the CPD

This CPD is for yoga teachers who want their teaching to be useful beyond the mat: relevant to everyday life, responsive to different needs, and grounded in clear professional boundaries. It offers a practical framework for bringing movement, breath, rest, sleep, nourishment, self-awareness and compassionate self-care into yoga teaching in ways that are accessible, ethical and genuinely supportive.

The course explores four foundations of whole-person wellbeing through the lens of yoga teaching: movement, breath and stress regulation, rest and sleep, and nourishment through whole-food awareness. Each foundation is explored in its own right, with time to consider its relevance to yoga practice, teaching and everyday wellbeing. We will also look at how the four foundations influence one another: how sleep can affect energy and appetite, how stress can influence breathing and recovery, how movement can support mood and steadiness, and how nourishment and hydration can affect how we feel, practise and restore.

The course includes practical teaching ideas, reflective enquiry, class and workshop development, and clear professional guidance around safety, scope of practice, boundaries, student forms and referral pathways. The nourishment element is broad and non-prescriptive, focusing on awareness and education rather than dietary advice or individual nutrition plans.

The CPD also introduces coaching-informed language for yoga teaching, including questions, invitations and reflective prompts that support choice, curiosity, self-awareness and compassionate change. The aim is not to train yoga teachers as health coaches, but to help them communicate in ways that encourage agency, deeper listening and appropriate self-care.

Yoga for Community Health: movement, breath, rest, lifestyle awareness and professional boundaries.

About the Workshop

The Rhythmns of Self-Care is a practical and reflective wellbeing workshop exploring simple ways to support everyday life through movement, breath, rest, nourishment and self-awareness.

This workshop brings together accessible yoga-inspired practices, gentle education, reflection and coaching-informed enquiry. It is designed for people who want to understand themselves more clearly, care for their energy more wisely, and explore supportive practices that can be taken into daily life.

During the day, we will explore four foundations of whole-person wellbeing: movement, breath and nervous system support, rest and sleep, and nourishment through whole-food awareness. Each foundation will be introduced with a small amount of accessible teaching, followed by practical experiences, reflective prompts and simple tools that can be adapted to different needs, bodies and lifestyles.

The day will include mindful movement, breathing practices, relaxation, reflection, discussion and simple educational points around self-care, sleep, stress, nourishment and daily habits. There will also be an opportunity to use a simple wellbeing wheel to identify one or two realistic next steps to take away.

Please bring your own lunch. Healthy snacks and tasters will be available during the day.

The workshop is not about adding more pressure or creating an ideal routine. It is about pausing, listening, noticing what supports you, and beginning to shape a more compassionate pathway forward.

This day may be especially helpful for those who feel busy, stretched, tired, disconnected from their own needs, or curious about how yoga principles can support life beyond the mat.

A supportive day of practice, reflection and practical self-care for everyday life.
