Ayurveda & Iyengar Yoga: Practical Support for Digestion with Debbie Bartholomew and Lauren Currie

Join Debbie Bartholomew, registered Iyengar yoga therapy teacher and Lauren Currie, Iyengar yoga teacher and qualified Ayurveda Practitioner for a workshop to assist and support us with digestive issues. Digestion means many things in Ayurveda, not just how we digest food, but information, emotions and how this affects our health.

This workshop begins with a one-hour talk introducing the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda and how its understanding of balance, routine, and the nervous system remains highly relevant in modern life. We will explore how digestion is viewed in Ayurveda, and how simple, practical adjustments can support greater steadiness amid contemporary pressures.

The second part of the workshop is a carefully structured Iyengar Yoga practice. Using precise alignment, thoughtful sequencing, and supportive props, the practice will focus on calming the nervous system, reducing physical tension, and building stability and ease. The work is accessible and adaptable, suitable for all levels, including those experiencing stress or anxiety.

10am – 1:30pm (with time for questions and a break)

Cost £45.50 for members/ £52.50 for non members
