Join Lime House Yoga Principal Teacher Jock Orton for his monthly masterclass. May focuses on becoming fearless in your backbends, and how to execute them safely. There is no denying that dropping backwards onto your hands from standing is pretty scary and unless you were a gymnast as a child probably something you’ve probably never done before! It’s certainly something I never thought I’d be capable of doing when I first started practicing yoga. Thankfully with great instruction and encouragement along the way from my teachers it’s something that has become second nature and something that is no longer scary but a part of my practice that I really look forward to. Backbends open the chest and upper body stimulating the Heart chakra (Anahata) allowing us to open more fully to our emotions. Strong backbends can bring up stored emotions: fear, anger, frustration, sadness as well as joy and love. Over the years, I’ve had students come to me after a strong back bending class to describe the emotion that has been released asking whether it’s normal to be feeling, whichever emotion it is, so strongly. Backbends will make you more fully present in the moment, because that moment when you first drop back on your own, I guarantee you won’t be thinking about whatever else you should be doing that day.
A communal meditation and environmental performance The Invitation Reverence for the Waterways is a six-hour performance and communal meditation centred on the task of separating microplastics from organic matter collected from the banks of the River Fal. The work invites participants into an extended meditative practice while engaging with the seemingly impossible labour of retrieving microplastics from the environment. Through careful filtration and sorting, the act of environmental remediation becomes both a contemplative ritual and a collective performance. Donation based – come and volunteer your time and join this collective moment of care for our waterways. Arrive at 11:30am for approx. 20 minute introduction with Andrew followed by 6 hours of contemplative sorting.
Join us for our very special Aerial Yin & Sound Bath. In this special workshop you will practice Aerial Yin Yoga and then enjoy an immersive Sound Bath whilst still cocooned in your aerial sling Aerial Yin Yoga is a passive practice which allows you to feel a sense of weightlessness suspended in an aerial silk sling. You will be holding postures for longer periods of time helping to reduce tension and stress within the body and mind. The aerial hammock acts as a lifting support, drawing the weight and energy of the body off the ground, creating a sense of being held and nurtured. The emphasis of this practice is deeper relaxation, deeper breathing and deeper more peaceful connection to the inner self. Whilst still cocooned safely in your silk hammock, you will experience a relaxing Sound Bath. Let the sounds and vibrations from crystal & Tibetan bowls, gongs, chimes and more, wash away any residual emotional, mental or physical stress. The combination of the subtle movements of swaying in the hammock combined with the healing sounds and vibrations of the Aerial Sound Bath will have you floating to a blissful place, leaving you feeling calmer and rejuvenated for days to come from a truly unforgettable experience. Join us for this unique healing experience. Beginners welcome.
This Intro to Mysore (Ashtanga Yoga Fundamentals) workshop is designed to start you on the journey to learn the Ashtanga Primary series so that you can join the Self Practice sessions (Mysore*) that we run every Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings at 7am. Ashtanga Yoga a form of Hatha Yoga that is based on a practice of yoga that slowly builds in difficulty to allow students to safely access their full potential. Don’t worry if you have never practiced Ashtanga Yoga before, if you have ever attended a Vinyasa class you will be familiar with many of the poses. Our aim is to help each student evolve into an independent practitioner and to enjoy the mental and physical benefits that the Ashtanga practice can bring. You will learn elements of the Ashtanga Primary Series in a way which makes the practice accessible to everyone regardless of your experience or flexibility. The Ashtanga sequence is often viewed as only suitable for those who are athletic, strong and flexible. Traditionally however the sequence is adapted to the individual with modifications and props available to ensure safe and sustainable lifelong practice. The Self Practice method is the traditional was taught to students. Think of it as a 1-2-1 but in a group environment. This differs from the standard led (guided) classes that we are familiar with in the west. The self-practice method requires that the practitioner learn each series in turn and practice at their own pace. There are 6 series in total that progressively build in difficulty. You start with the primary (1st Series), also known as yoga chikitsa (yoga therapy). Once you become proficient at the practicing the primary series you then progress through the Intermediate series (Nadi Shodhana – cleansing the subtle energy channels) * Mysore – named after the place in Indian where it was first taught. **Please note that our cancellation policies differ slightly for classes and workshops/courses/trainings.

Join our resident sound healer Ali Gunning for an evening of sound meditation, food and connection. Our second seasonal gong bath of 2026 is our Summer ‘Bloom’ event. Simple heart opening movements help you expand like the fire energy of summer; a time to vision, share, manifest. Sweet melodies of hang drum invite you to pause from the busyness and welcome the bright harmonics of sun and symphonic gongs into each and every cell. We ground you with bells, shakers, rainstick, dropping into a shared meditative silence.
Aerial Yoga Flow is the most dynamic of our Aerial offerings. These workshops are based on fitness and fun, learning new sequences, flying yoga postures, aerial yoga flow techniques alongside anatomical yoga themes that focus on specific muscle groups / areas of the body. In these Aerial Yoga Flow sessions we target the centrally located area of the body using the muscles that make up the core connected to ‘self-worth‘ & ‘optimism‘. We also fire up the glutes and hamstrings with strengthening and stretching exercises, enhancing & toning the muscles that propel us forwards…a fun and active flow finishing with relaxing aerial yoga back-relief techniques and inversion therapy. Guaranteed to leave you with beaming smiles and a spring in your step!
Yoga for Thoracic Mobility, Free Breathing & Chanting Modern life often draws us forward — rounding the shoulders, narrowing the chest and compressing the upper back. Over time, this can limit the natural movement of the ribs and diaphragm, subtly affecting posture, breathing and overall ease in the body. This yoga workshop with Amy Hughes offers a gentle yet intelligent antidote to those patterns. Through a carefully structured afternoon of movement, breath and sound, we will explore thoracic mobility, rib expansion and the relationship between posture and respiration — restoring space to the upper body and cultivating a fuller, more three-dimensional breath.
This is a 3-hour Iyengar workshop taught by a Level 3 Iyengar teacher, Lucy Aldridge. Learn how to use the yoga rope wall and other yoga props to deepen and enhance your practice. The yoga ropes can be used to either offer support to your body by reversing the effects of gravity or they can used to enhance and deepen the effect of a pose.
Join Lime House Yoga Principal teacher Jock Orton for this month’s masterclass. July focuses on Shoulders. Modern life is creating bio-mechanical misalignments, with new terms like ‘tech neck’ emerging. Through our desk jobs, sofas, car seats and most recently hunching over phones, many of us are carrying excess tension in the shoulders and upper back. When we move (especially when we weight bear through the arms) in yoga practice, we can compound this. In this workshop Jock will explore the most functional ways to stabilise our shoulders in practice. Josh will complement this by sharing some of the pulling and hanging actions shoulders were designed for, back when our ape ancestors were climbing and swinging from trees. Exploring these strengthening practices can support stability, but also a good range of movement in your yoga practice and improved postural health for physical and energetic alignment. We will look at how to: · Relax the upper shoulder using external rotation for over head actions · Improve stability by strengthening retraction patterns: shalabhasana (locust) and friends · Improving stability by strengthening protection patterns: side plank and friends · Supportive practices for yoga on rings: passive and active hangs, ring rows, pull actions · A few final tips for stabilising in the back bend and inversion patterns
Our Restorative Aerial workshops workshops are about decompression, detoxing and expanding into the back space – unlocking the hips and opening the heart. We want to be kind to the spine, looking at alignment and safe inversions. We focus on gently mobilising places in the body that sometimes get stuck and allow the postures to help ease painful areas such as the neck and lower back. A restorative yet rejuvenating session that is all about the good ‘feels’!

Join Lime House Yoga Principal Teacher Jock Orton for his monthly masterclass. August focuses on Handstands In the yogic tradition, there are several ‘gateway’ poses and being able to hold a handstand is one of them. We can all remember doing handstands as children and how much fun they were. As we grow older though, we can lose this sense of fun and excitement and as with anything we’ve not done for a while, we may feel fear and place limitations on ourselves that we are too old or we’ll hurt ourselves, etc. This month’s masterclass is designed to give you back the confidence and fun of turning upside down! By practicing handstands with clear, precise instruction and in a safe and supportive environment we will give you back the sense of fun that you once had. Inversions are also physically beneficial and increase blood flow to the brain, improve memory, supports your endocrine system, improves balance and spatial awareness, builds upper body and core strength…we could go on!
Join us for our monthly masterclass mini workshop! September focuses on Transitions between poses. Jump backs, and jump throughs in yoga typically focus on the fluid movement from one posture to another, emphasising strength, flexibility, and co-ordination. These transitions are often seen in Vinyasa or Ashtanga practices, where the flow between postures is essential. Jump backs focus on: • Strengthening the core – learn to engage the abdominal muscles correctly in order to lift the legs and maintain control of the movement. • Arm strength and stability – helping to support the movement, and building strength to help with the push-off. • Flexibility in the hips – to help you position your legs correctly and safely • Breathing – essential to facilitate the jump, creating a sense of power and fluidity in the movement Jump throughs focus on: • Hip mobility – good flexibility in the hips and legs • Core and shoulder stability – working on core strength to lift and move the legs forward while maintaining stability through the arms and shoulders. • Timing – working on synchronising the movement with the breath to facilitate the movement. • Control – maintaining control is key to preventing injuries and ensuring a smooth transition. Join Jock for step-by-step guidance on building up to smooth jump backs and jump throughs.
Join our resident sound healer Ali Gunning for an evening of sound meditation, food and connection. Our third seasonal gong bath of 2026 is our Autumn ‘Harvest’ event. Slowing our rhythms after the autumn equinox, Ali will guide you in some gentle stretches for side body and shoulders. The sound bath will play with elements of dark and light; the grounding beat of the drum; deep bold waves of earth and planetary gongs weaving with the song of crystal bowls, sistrum and bells.
Join Lime House Yoga Principal Teacher Jock Orton for his monthly masterclass. October focuses on twists within your practice. Twists are among the most revitalising and transformative movements in yoga. They create space in the spine, massage the internal organs, and facilitate the release of tension held in the body. Twists are often described as a way to ‘wring out’ stress and stagnation, both physically and energetically. In this yoga masterclass, ‘Twists: Rotate and Unwind,’ we will explore the biomechanics of twists, their benefits, and how to practice them safely and effectively. Whether you are looking to improve spinal mobility, aid digestion, or deepen your awareness of breath and movement, twists offer a powerful tool for renewal and balance.
