Vinyasa Krama Yoga and the Emergence of Yoga have been taught in Wells Museum, next to Wells Cathedral for 20 years. Stephen Brandon has taught hundreds of students here and brought legendary teachers in the Krishnamacharya tradition to this iconic location.

The Museum as a venue therefore has this rich yoga tradition established over years. It is a clean, large space with kitchen and garden for use in break times. After workshops you can wander out to see the sacred and ancient Wells Cathedral or go around the corner and see Vicar's Close, the oldest medieval in tact street in Europe.

When practising yoga though, you are encouraged to go within, focusing on body and breath. When you finish, you integrate with the world again, feeling more peaceful and whole.

Practice Days have started as part of modular Practitioner & Teacher Training once a month on Sundays which can still be attended as standalone days (not doing the training), for the enjoyment of practising VKY. Plus its not too late to joint the training.

A free introduction with Liz Turner is available as a recording, just get in touch to receive this. Plus full details here, or send an email with any questions.

The training and Practice Days are to bring together those inspired & enthused about authentic lineage-based yoga, for the simple reason of feeling peace, alongside the more obvious benefits of yoga like relaxation, health and fitness.

…from ‘Krishnamacharya in His Own Words’: “Do not do asana (positions) and other practices without proper application of structured goals and steps (vinyasa) and without yoga (vigilance and stillness of the mind)“.

21-22 November Seminar with Charles Cox & Liz Turner

An overview of the main themes from August's Seminar, as a reminder or introduction for new people.

Review and practise how to focus on the 16 vital points,  the way Sribhashyam taught students.

Demonstrate and practise a number of the Asana in this system, to help with familiarisation of them and the Sanskrit names. 

Some new material including the theory and practice presented by Brigitte in Spain last year. The topic was meditation and we will include the meditations she shared with us. We are also researching a bit more in depth to bring in nuggets from past newsletters/Sribhashyam's books.

Relevant practices throughout the 2 days. 

25-27 June with Mrs Brigitte Khan

We are very pleased to welcome back Brigitte with her wealth of knowledge that came directly from her studies with Sribhashyam. 

She will lead us in practical and theoretical sessions. This will partly follow on from her last Seminar by going into more depth about the Kleshas, known in yoga philosophy as the root cause of human suffering and emotional disturbance. Learning about this informs our practice and daily lives.

She will also take up the subject of Pranayama - the 4th limb of yoga that addresses regulated breathing techniques. Along with Asana - 3rd limb that encompasses postures and movements - this brings us physical, mental and emotional balance.

There will be an opportunity to raise questions related to practice or theory. Do send us any questions in advance for Brigitte to consider fully.

You will need a copy of the book Emergence of Yoga by T.K. Sribhashyam

T.K. Sribhashyam came to teach a five day Seminar in Wells, Somerset, UK in 2016. These ongoing teachings honour this significant event in the transmission of Krishnamacharya’s teaching in the West. They are rare opportunities to engage with profound teachings flowing directly from the Vedic Seers and in our generation from Sri T. Krishnamacharya and his son Sri T.K. Sribhashyam.

Mrs Brigitte Khan was a student of Sribhashyam for two decades, her biography can be found on this page. She will share her in depth knowledge of traditional yoga supported by her practical experience. 

Charles Cox and Liz Turner have been part of the Emergence of Yoga study group led by Stephen Brandon for many years including learning from Mrs Brigitte Khan on Seminars. Charles teaches in Oxford and Liz teaches in Herefordshire and Somerset.
