FOUNDATIONS OF FLOW
A 12-HOUR YOGA IMMERSION
A two-day immersive journey into the foundations of Yoga, created to deepen your understanding of the practice and build confidence both on and off the mat.
Whether you are newer to Yoga, have been practising for years but still feel like you are simply following along, are preparing for a Yoga Teacher Training, or have recently graduated and feel blocked stepping onto the teacher’s mat, Foundations of Flow meets you where you are.
This weekend is about understanding the why behind your practice. Building the confidence to walk into any Yoga class, workshop or retreat anywhere in the world, developing a home practice of your own, and exploring Yoga beyond the physical postures.
Because ultimately, Yoga is not about becoming better at poses.
It is about giving you the tools to know yourself more deeply and the confidence to carry that understanding into your life.

You do not need to wait until you feel ready, flexible enough, experienced enough or confident enough.
That’s what this weekend is for.
What to Expect-
Break down the foundations of asana so you understand not just what shapes you are making, but why.
We’ll explore key postures, alignment, transitions, modifications and the use of props, giving you the tools to move through a Yoga practice with greater awareness and confidence.
Learn how to adapt the practice to your own body rather than trying to make your body fit the pose.
-
Explore the foundations of conscious breath and meditation, and understand why these practices sit at the heart of Yoga.
We’ll experience accessible pranayama and meditation techniques you can confidently incorporate into your own practice, with practical tools to support focus, regulation and deeper self-awareness.
-
Step beyond the physical practice and begin to understand the deeper teachings of Yoga.
We’ll explore key yogic philosophy and concepts in a way that feels relevant to modern life, giving you practical tools for self-inquiry, personal growth and navigating life both on and off the mat.
-
Learn how to roll out your mat without needing a teacher, class or screen telling you what to do next.
We’ll explore how to build and sequence a simple, sustainable practice around what you need, giving you the confidence to make Yoga part of your life beyond the studio.
-
Move from simply following along to actually understanding what you are doing and why.
Build the confidence to walk into any Yoga class, workshop or retreat anywhere in the world, make informed choices for your own body, and practise without feeling like you are trying to keep up.
For recent YTT graduates, this is also a space to strengthen your foundations and move through the block of stepping onto the teacher’s mat.
-
We’ll bring everything from the weekend together through practice, reflection and integration.
Our immersion closes in ceremony with cacao, creating space to honour what you have learned, what has shifted and how you want to carry your practice forward beyond the weekend. ૐ
MY INTENTION
I have always wanted to share the life-changing wisdom of Yoga in a way that feels accessible, without ever watering down the depth of the tradition.
Foundations of Flow was created to share everything I believe every Yoga student deserves to know. The things no one necessarily tells you before you walk into your first class, and the things you can practise for years without ever having properly explained.
Not simply how to make the shapes, but why we practise them. How to breathe. How to move with awareness. How to understand the language of a Yoga class. How to practise for yourself.
And most importantly, to understand that Yoga is so much more than what happens on the mat.
There will be plenty of space to slow down, ask questions, explore, practise, get curious and actually understand what you are learning. No questions left unanswered! This is a space to fill in the gaps and build real confidence in your practice as well as your lift “off” the mat!
I want to make the philosophy, practices and ancient wisdom of Yoga approachable without watering down the mysticism and magic!
Traditional ancient wisdom. Modern application.
My intention is for you to leave this weekend more confident on and off the mat. To know yourself more deeply, trust yourself more fully and have practical tools you can carry into your everyday life.
I genuinely believe this work can be life-changing.
Because when you begin to understand Yoga beyond the poses, you’re not simply changing the way you practise.
You’re changing the way you meet your life.
I can not wait to hold this very special space for you, Lizz xxx ૐ
