First Saturday of every month
We are so pleased to re-introduce our monthly yoga masterclass mini workshops with Lime House Yoga’s principal teacher Jock Orton.
About the Masterclass series:
During a regular class there isn’t time to go into great depth and really break down certain poses and let’s face it, you have to be pretty committed to your yoga practice to want to spend the whole day learning about the intricacies of padmasana (lotus)! We also realise that not everyone has the time or money to attend a full workshop.
The idea of the Saturday Masterclasses is to fill the gap between a full blown three-hour workshop and a regular yoga class. Taking place on the first Saturday of every month, these concentrated workshops give you the opportunity to learn about, and have fun practicing, specific poses in much greater detail than your during your regular weekly classes with support and encouragement from your teacher.
We do recommend attending the Saturday morning class as a ‘warm up’ to the Masterclass, as the workshops are designed to get straight down to business so you’ll need to be warmed up and ready to go.
Here’s what you can expect:
1. In-depth Focus on Specific Poses or Styles Jock’s Yoga Masterclasses will centre around a particular pose or poses (like headstands or twists), a specific technique (like pranayama or alignment), or a theme (such as longevity in yoga, backbends, or spinal health). This allows you to explore that focus in much more depth than a regular class.
2. Advancement on Techniques Suitable for everyone, all levels are welcome but if you’re an intermediate or advanced practitioner, Jock will also give you the opportunity to be challenged with more complex poses, transitions, or adjustments, helping you to advance in ways that you may not have had time to explore before. His workshops often break down advanced postures or sequencing, offering insights into refining your technique. He will also adapt and give modifications for those at a more beginner level.
3. Philosophy and Anatomy Many of Jock’s yoga masterclass workshops go beyond the physical practice and introduce you to aspects of yoga philosophy and greater detail of all things anatomical. Expect him to dive into ancient texts like the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, helping you integrate a holistic approach to your practice, and to educate you on the importance of learning and understanding about your own body so that you can be more mindful of your physicality.
4. Personalised Attention You will have the opportunity to get more individual guidance from your teacher Jock who may offer hands-on adjustments, modifications, or props to improve your practice. He will always welcome, and have time, to answer questions after workshops as well.
5. A Sense of Community Aimed at everyone, our yoga masterclass workshops can foster a sense of community. You’ll be practicing alongside like-minded individuals, and there will always be a welcoming, supportive atmosphere here at Lime House Yoga.

Join Lime House Yoga Senior Teacher Amy Hughes for this month's masterclass. Masterclass workshops take place on the first Saturday of every month. June 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 Amy, assisted by LHY TT graduate Josh, 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
Join us for our monthly masterclass mini workshop! Masterclass workshops take place on the first Saturday of every month. July focuses on Transitions between poses and is taught by Amy Hughes. 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 Amy for step-by-step guidance on building up to smooth jump backs and jump throughs.
Join Lime House Yoga Principal Teacher Jock Orton for his monthly masterclass. Masterclass workshops take place on the first Saturday of every month. 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 Lime House Yoga Principal Teacher Jock Orton for his monthly masterclass. Masterclass workshops take place on the first Saturday of every month. September focuses on Longevity in your yoga practice. Longevity is an aspiration as old as humanity itself. Yet, longevity is not merely about adding years to life; it’s about adding life to those years. It’s about finding balance, vitality, and purpose, even as time progresses. In yoga, we discover a path to longevity by nurturing the body, mind, and spirit. This masterclass, 'Longevity: Eat, Sleep, Practice, Repeat,' will guide you through the pillars of a long, healthy, and harmonious life rooted in yoga and holistic living. Explore how the interplay of conscious eating, restorative sleep, disciplined practice, and mindful repetition creates the foundation for sustainable health and vitality.
Join Lime House Yoga Principal Teacher Jock Orton for his monthly masterclass. Masterclass workshops take place on the first Saturday of every month. 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.
Join Lime House Yoga Principal Teacher Jock Orton for his monthly masterclass. Masterclass workshops take place on the first Saturday of every month. November focuses on the benefits of Sun Salutations - the meditation of movement through breath and flow. Among the many yoga sequences, the Sun Salutations, or Surya Namaskar, stand out as one of the most profound. A dynamic series of asanas (postures) synchronised with breath, Sun Salutations embody the essence of 'meditation in motion.' This yoga masterclass, Meditation of Movement: Breathe and Flow,' explores the benefits of Sun Salutations and how they can transform your practice and your life. While there are many variations of Sun Salutations, the classical sequence includes poses like Mountain Pose (Tadasana), Forward Fold (Uttanasana), Downward Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana), and Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana). Whether performed slowly with intention or as a vigorous flow, Sun Salutations offer a myriad of physical, mental, and spiritual benefits.
Join Lime House Yoga Principal Teacher Jock Orton for his monthly masterclass. Masterclass workshops take place on the first Saturday of every month. November focuses on Pranayama: The original breathwork Breath is life. It is the first action we take as we enter the world and the last as we leave it. Yet, in between, we often take this miraculous process for granted. In yoga, the breath is far more than just a biological function. It is a bridge between the body and mind, a tool for self-awareness, and a source of immense vitality. This masterclass, 'Pranayama: The Original Breathwork,' dives into the ancient yogic practice of pranayama, exploring its profound benefits and guiding you on how to integrate it into your daily life.

It is said that we all come to healing in our own time and this was true for me when in 2000, I fell down a mountain snowboarding, breaking my back in four places and shattering my collarbone. After numerous unsuccessful operations, I decided to take matters into my own hands so that I might stand a chance of being mobile by the time I hit forty.
I began a regular yoga practice and as the ancient saying goes, ‘When the student is ready the teacher will appear.’ I moved back to Cornwall at the same time as Bridget Woods-Kramer, a world renowned Anusara teacher. I did my first two teacher trainings with no intention of ever teaching yoga, I just wanted to further my knowledge for my own practice. It was Bridget who dropped the bombshell on me that she needed cover for a Saturday class that forced me into teaching my first class. I was completely terrified………but I loved it!
I spent six years studying and teaching with Bridget and have developed a style that is physically challenging with attention to posture and alignment and above all, playful. My experience has taught me to cherish the physical practice of yoga, but it is the connection between mind, body and soul that inspires my practice. Over the last decade, my personal practice has moved towards Ashtanga and I have undertaken Ashtanga teacher trainings with David Swenson, Manju Jois and John Scott.
I have been teaching for 20 years and over this time I feel deeply privileged to have been taught by some of the worlds best teachers from a range of different schools of yoga, including Richard Freeman, David Williams, Sianna Shermann, Rod Stryker, Doug Keller, Bruce Bowditch, John Friend, Nancy Gilgoff, and Doug Swenson. In my classes I call upon the teachings of all of my teachers to best serve my own students, with a blend of the styles, techniques and adjustments I’ve learnt along my yoga journey. I am also co-founder and director of Lime House Yoga with my partner Emma and a dad to two wonderful children who constantly inspire and challenge me to be more present in the world and on my mat.
