Workshops & Events
CAMYOGA regularly hosts workshops and events. Workshops are a fantastic way to get more from your yoga practice and give you the chance to experience more than what can be delivered in a normal class setting.
1st December
Arkümu Breathwork and Movement
with Dawn Simone
1st December | 12-2pm
£35 / £30 (members & concessions)
Join Dawn for Arkümu Breath, a transformative 90-minute Breathwork & movement workshop (allow 2 hours) designed to awaken and move your energetic body, release stored emotions and clear the mind. Through the power of a rhythmic breathing technique, you’ll create space for creativity, healing and restoration.
During this music-driven session, we’ll begin by moving the body to calm the mind and open the heart, allowing for deeper connection to your inner self. As you engage in repetitive breathing patterns, you’ll explore physical sensations, emotional releases, and shifts in energy, guiding you through a profound journey of self-discovery.
By the end of the session, you can expect to recalibrate your nervous system, release blocked energy, and leave feeling deeply restored and rejuvenated.

6-Week Course Yoga Flow for Beginners
with Jesse Ng
6-weeks starting 18th January | 10:30-11:30am
£70/ £65 (concessions)
Dates (2025): 18/1, 25/1, 1/2, 8/2, 15/2, 22/2
Yoga flow (Vinyasa) classes are often taught at a fast pace. For this reason, they are generally offered at an open level and not catered for absolute beginners.
This 6-week beginners course aims to puncture that assumption by breaking down different elements of the Vinyasa method.
Each week, we begin with preparatory stretches and conditioning exercises that lead to the key asanas (poses) in sun salutations A and B. Taking Vinyasa as a comprehensive method of yoga not as a sport but as a holistic way of being, we will explore how the asanas are connected with the Eight Limbs of Yoga, the philosophical underpinnings of yoga as a spiritual practice according to Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra.
Since this is a practical hatha yoga course (hatha yoga is a branch of yoga that uses physical movement as a method to regulate body-mind), we will practice at least one full round of sun salutation from Week 1– from a slow step-by-step guided sequence to building up confidence and pace in Week 6. Vinyasa is a fiery method that uses discipline and persistence to activate the deep love and resilience we all have within us. A curious open mind and a willingness to learn and apply are essential.
Week 1: Hamstring Flexibility, Dhristi and Ujjayi Breathing
Building the basic hamstring flexibility for the key asanas in sun salutations, such as uttanasana and adho mukha svanasana. Introduction to the use of gaze and deep resonant breaths.
Week 2: Chest Opening, Yama and Niyama
Working towards an open chest and shoulders. Connecting heart-opening asanas with yogic discipline.
Week 3: Alignment and Breathwork
An alignment-focused class on samasthiti, virabhadrasana I, II and III, trikonasana and pashchimottanasana.
Week 4: Hip-opening and Pratyahara
Hips and the gate to tune in.
Week 5: Dharana and the Vinyasa Method
Concentration and the Structure of Vinyasa as a Meditative Method
Week 6: Dhyana and Just Flow
Absorption/the Dissolution of Boundaries and just flow.
