Immersion for Yoga Students & Teachers

Personal Evolution & Professional Development

Follow the evolution of yoga from ancient and sacred roots to the diverse forms practiced today. Gain an understanding of how your practice fits into the big picture of yoga and how to integrate the roots of yoga into your practice.

What we will explore together

This course is designed for dedicated yoga practitioners, aspiring teachers and yoga teacher training graduates who wish to deepen their understanding of yoga and enrich their practice. If you are seeking to explore new horizons with hands-on, tactile, in-person learning, this is for you!

  • We consider the origins and evolution of different yoga lineages in order to understand how our practice has been influenced by the history of yoga.

  • Giving historical and philosophical context to key yoga scriptures.

  • Identifying key mythological figures, their role in the Hindu pantheon and its relationship to yoga.

  • Patanjali’s 8-limbs or “Ashtanga“ are often referenced as the basis of modern yoga. We will discuss the origins, meaning and applications of these limbs.

  • Yama and Niyama are the first two limbs of Patanjali’s Ashtanga system.

    The whole system goes from gross to subtle. Yama gives guidance for interacting with the world, niyama governs the inner world of the practitioner…

Delivery Format

One month. Small Cohort. Real Growth.

  • One in-person master class (a 90 min practice to embody the wisdom of the course).

  • A day, in-person workshop at West End Yoga (discussion of theoretic foundations, Q&A with support).

  • A practice journal with prompts to contemplate, track progress and ensure integration of the theory.

  • And an optional 1-on-1 mentoring session with Stef to support your journey, practice and ask questions. This is your personal time with Stef - make the most of it!

  • A live group call for collaborative integration and accountability.

The “History, Mythology & Philosophy” Course is part of the Deepening Mentorship Program. It can be taken individually as 30-Day Journey or as part of the 6-Month Mentorship Program.

“Stef is a fun, kind, and compassionate human who brings her joie de vivre and lightness of being to her yoga”

 Frequently Asked Questions

  • No. I never planned to do a yoga teacher training myself but I wanted to learn from someone I could trust, and wasn’t trying to sell me their doctrine. I have designed this program for:

    · Yoga Enthusiasts: Deepen your understanding of yoga theory, gain insights to enrich your practice.

    · Future Teachers: Aspiring yoga instructors preparing for teacher certification.

    · YTT Graduates: Individuals with yoga certification committed to refining their practice and expanding their teaching tool-kit.

    Come as you are and prepare to consolidate and enrich your yoga practice to a place of deep understanding and embodiment.

  • For many of us, the study of yoga theory only begins after our first teacher training. This course is the perfect place to integrate theory, practice designing and teaching classes, finding your voice and building community.

  • As much as I love the practice of yoga, even MORE I love the way it has shaped my life and the community that we have built around the practice of yoga. Being in the company of people who are willing to take action to improving the quality of their lives, willing to hold the truth lightly as a delicate unfolding flower. I am willing to be wrong if it will take me closer to the truth. Are you willing to reconsider what you know about yoga?

    “You realise the road is the goal and that you are always on the road,”

    Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

    More than 20 years of yoga practice, 10 years of yoga teaching and several YTTs in, I am excited to keep learning and I hope a droplet of my enthusiasm will reignite your practice.

  • YES! You could just sign up for the 90min practice. But you might get curious to join the full immersion. Here we unpack why and how our yoga practice works. In each immersion, we:

    • Consider different approaches to practice

    • Get support developing your practice

    • Practice more separately

    • Compare notes on practice

    • Collectively contribute to the evolution of yoga practice.

  • Yes. Each immersion is modularised so provided we still have capacity, you are SO welcome to drop in for the topics that interest you.

  • After a masterclass and a workshop of inspiration, you go home with a practice journal. A place to record your practice, journaling prompts, a 1-on-1 call with me and a group check in to learn from each others experiences.

  • You have one hour to indulge your curiosity, clarify any confusion and work on either your embodiment or intellectualise the practice. As a yoga therapist, Stef customises the sessions to serve the evolution of your practice.
