This is a weekend designed to work as a whole, moving through strength, stillness, breath and flight in a sequence that builds, restores, and ultimately transforms. Whether you join us for one session or stay for all four, you'll leave with a deeper understanding of your body, your practice, and what becomes possible when intelligence meets movement.
Aurelie Poles brings her signature blend of anatomical insight, creative sequencing and genuine warmth to every workshop, making complex concepts feel accessible, and accessible concepts feel profound.
If you're planning to join more than one session this weekend, bundle rates are available - full day £85 or full weekend £160. Just email us at soma@wandsworthyoga.com after booking one of them and we'll send you a discount code for the remaining sessions.
Saturday:
Strong & Fluid - Strength x Mobility Workshop
3 hours · All levels
A deep exploration of how the body moves - approaching flexibility not as a party trick, but as something intelligent, functional, and transferable to real life. Through targeted mobility exercises, structured flows and movement explorations that may take you beyond the mat, you'll begin building a body that is genuinely both strong and supple. This isn't about forcing range. It's about understanding it.
Perfect for practitioners who feel stuck in their flexibility progress, yoga teachers, movement coaches, and anyone whose goal is long-term mobility rather than short-term stretching.
Yinspiration - Rest & Restore Masterclass
All levels · No prior Yin experience needed
Every intensive needs its counterpart, and this is it. A mindful pause at the heart of the weekend: a chance to soften, absorb and restore. Through long-held postures, spacious breathing and quiet introspection, Yinspiration gives the body and mind the space they need to integrate the morning's work and arrive at Sunday feeling genuinely renewed.
A beautiful standalone session, and the perfect bridge between Saturday and Sunday. Open to all, whether you're joining us for the full weekend or stepping in for this one session alone.
Sunday:
Master the Flow - Breath x Mobility Masterclass
All levels
Breath and movement are inseparable, and this masterclass explores why. Bringing together the anatomy of breath, pranayama, functional mobility and creative sequencing, you'll discover how breath informs movement and how movement can unlock breath. You'll leave feeling grounded, balanced, and more connected to your practice than when you arrived.
Ideal for regular practitioners, yoga teachers wanting more intelligence in their sequencing, and anyone curious about the relationship between how they breathe and how they move.
Open to Fly - Hip Mobility x Arm Balance Workshop
3 hours · All levels
The hips are one of the most complex and most misunderstood joints in the body. This closing workshop goes deep into hip anatomy, biomechanics and the way this single joint influences movement throughout your entire body. Through intelligent mobility work, targeted functional exercises and a progressive asana practice, you'll build the flexibility, strength and neurological control needed to support arm balances and advanced postures, safely and sustainably.
For practitioners curious about arm balances, working towards poses like Eka Pada Galavasana or Grasshopper, or struggling with hip tightness or instability. Equally valuable for teachers wanting a more anatomically informed approach to sequencing hip work.
