Workshop Overview
Did you know the tongue plays a vital role in posture, balance, breathing and muscular strength?  Often overlooked in movement practice, the tongue has powerful connections to the nervous system, the neck and shoulders, and our overall sense of stability in the body.

This 3-hour online workshop invites you to explore tongue awareness as a subtle yet transformative aspect of yoga practice. Through a blend of embodied theory, mindful movement, breathwork and asana we will investigate how tongue positioning and gentle activation can influence balance, coordination and ease of movement.

The session weaves together practical exploration with accessible anatomy and neuroscience, supporting a deeper understanding of how inner awareness shapes outer strength. Participants will leave with simple, effective practices they can integrate into their own yoga practice - and, where appropriate, into their teaching.

The workshop includes a downloadable worksheet and generous time for live Q&A.

✨ What to Expect...

• a grounding, embodied yoga practice
