The Yoga Well Book Club - Season 6
Deepen your practice and connect with fellow Yogis.
Join our online book club, which runs on the second Wednesday from September 2026 to March 2027 (not January). Each month, we explore a transformative book on Yoga wisdom, mindfulness, meditation, and much more. Enhance your understanding of Yoga philosophy, integrate reading insights into your practice and build a library of transformative wisdom texts.
Trauma-informed practice training: Levels 1 & 2
Trauma-informed practice training - Levels 1 & 2 | A Training Day for Yoga Teachers
Deepen your understanding of trauma and adversity and explore what it means to create safer, more compassionate and trauma-informed spaces for yoga.
As yoga teachers, we work with people from all walks of life, many of whom may have experienced adversity, trauma, loss or chronic stress. While we may not always know someone’s experiences, understanding how trauma can affect the body, nervous system, behaviour, relationships and sense of safety can profoundly influence how we teach and how we meet the people in our practices.
DEEPENING YOUR PRACTICE #5 -Rooted in stillness
Join us for a deep dive into Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra, two stillness practices which allow us to connect deeply with ourselves.
Lucie's approach to the practices is both respectful of traditions and trauma informed. You will learn about the Daoist roots of Yin Yoga and the history of Yoga Nidra and you will get to practice both in a quiet and compassionate environment.
Samhain - Stories, Spells & Soundbath
Samhain:- Stories, Spells and Soundbath
As the Celtic Wheel of the Year arrives at Samhain, we gather at Belfast Castle to enter the darkening half of the year with story, movement, ritual and sound.
Where we live and breathe and have our being is widely associated with the origins of Halloween, and the ancient festival of Samhain carries much lore around liminality, thresholds, ancestors, otherworlds, endings and beginnings.
The Yoga Fellowship of Northern Ireland is excited to launch their 50th anniversary year with a gathering where we’ll explore old myths and stories through a yogic lens
GROUNDING THE HEART - retreat
Grounding the Heart
Pause and recalibrate on the beautiful North Coast with our experienced and inspiring teachers Michael McCann, Joe McKeown and Mary O’Rawe.
This retreat is more than a break from your routine; it is a conscious return to your foundation. Through grounding and energising physical practices, somatic release, and spacious quiet, you will leave behind the mental noise and root into a steady, resilient connection to yourself.
A space to breathe, land, and remember what it feels like to be fully present and grounded in the heart.
DEEPENING YOUR PRACTICE #4 - Sacred Sound: Chant 101
Join Julie Preston for an introduction to the ancient practice of mantra and voice as tools for healing, grounding and inner connection.
Open to everyone, this three hour workshop offers a nourishing space to explore the power of sacred sounds, chanting and vocal toning - no previous experience or singing ability is needed.
Mantras are ancient sound vibrations that help free you from the endless chatter in your mind, drawing you inwards to connect to your heart. Chanting and toning offer wonderfully accessible ways to access the many benefits of meditation without having to sit still or be quiet.
Being in fellowship - ethical yoga practice in Northern Ireland
Our first event of the season will weave together beautiful grounding and rooting practices with a consultation on the ethical yoga practice framework that we are developing.
It is intended to gather yoga practitioners from Northern Ireland into a circle of fellowship: providing an opportunity to build and strengthen relationships; affording everyone the chance to reconnect with the ethical principles that underpin our intentions and practices in yoga: and enabling collaboration in the development of this important foundational work.
DEEPENING YOUR PRACTICE #3 - Asanas, Pranayama and Sutras with Claire Ferry
PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF DATE
We might practice with the body, the limbs, torso and muscles etc, but we don't learn only for the physical body.
Claire will lead us through an asana and pranayama practice sequence with reference to selected yoga sutras collated by sage Patanjali some time between 500BCE and 450CE.
Perhaps you will find a new (or very old) way of connecting into your essence, already whole and at peace behind the whirlwinds of everyday thought and circumstances, desires and aversions.
