🌟 🧡 Ashtanga Yoga Weekend with Scott Johnson - CHEADLE 🧡🌟

Scott Johnson, director of Stillpoint Yoga London, will guide you through a mindful and practical approach to ashtanga yoga that meets each practitioner exactly where they are.

Ashtanga Vinyasa practice sits at the heart of this weekend. Across three days we will move together through Mysore practice, pranayama, philosophy, and two afternoon workshops.

Whether you are new to this system or have been practising for years, the weekend is designed to support depth, inquiry, and a renewed sense of what practice can offer.
