THE 5 PILLARS

This transformational 20-hour training will take place from 9-6pm over two days (plus homework) and center around Pañca Abhyasa - the five essential practices - and is designed for committed students and teachers ready to deepen their path.

Explore a modern sadhana inspired by Patañjali's 8 limbs:

1. Establishing a Modern Sadhana - rooted in the wisdom of Patañjali's Astanga Yoga (the eight limbs).

2. Exploring the Heart of Astanga - through the integrated practice of asana, pranayama, and dhyana.

3. Reclaiming Vinyasa Krama - the lost art of intelligent sequencing, revived with modern alignment, assists, and adjustments.

4. Returning to the Roots - with a restorative review of foundational Hatha Yoga asana.

5. Yoga in Context - reflecting on the social, political, and cultural dimensions of living and teaching a modern, traditional yoga practice.

Stewart is a senior registered yoga teacher based in London - internationally celebrated for his high-energy, authentic, and dynamic approach, combining breath, vinyasa, philosophy, strong physical adjustments, and his signature charisma, humour, and political edge.
