Doorways Into Centre

Just beneath the surface,
Sits a trembling voice of Truth.

The nudges of Soul;
The urge to change to move, to grow your branches THAT way, instead of where you were told the light was.

At the bottom of exhales,
In between thoughts
Before the gasp of revelation is dragged in,
There lies a place that remains unchanged by the churnings of thought.

Just beneath the surface of these practices that deal with body, with shape, structure and outer form - lies a whole world of unexplored potential, wisdom, and gnosis.

When approached in this way, each breath in every practice becomes an opportunity to come into relationship with the deepest part of your awareness - the part that is steady, unwavering, and deeply, deeply rooted.

The Ground of Being.

This Ground is where we offer the gift of our attention - again and again, as many times as it takes. This is where we can begin to anchor and alchemize our practices into the body; into tangible, lived, felt, breathed experiences, rather than conceptual or theoretical knowledge.

As Douglas Brooks says in his commentary on the Bhagavad Gita;

“Imminence has touched transcendence; the ordinary world is the place where Dharma, the most poignant and subtle truths of reality must face off”. (Touched By Grace, Ch. 1, p.19)

Join me for 5 months of embodied practice, inquiry and study, drawing upon the frameworks of the non-dual teachings of Srī Vidya Tantra & Kashmir Shaivism, but deeply rooted in the fertile grounds and weavings of your own body and lived experiences.

Yoga at its core is a practice of liberation. ‘Moshka’ - most often translated as ‘freedom’, is a core principle of what we are all on some level, seeking. Freedom in the movement of and connection to our bodies; freedom in relation to the stories and beliefs we are conditioned by that keep us bound and stuck in patterns and cycles of suffering; freedom from systems of oppression - both internal and external, and the courage to face head on all the places we are still operating from the smallness these beliefs and systems enforce.

Systems are only useful if we can operate within them whilst maintaining a sense of freedom, intuition and deep connection to the unique needs that characterize each individual. That’s why these trainings are loosely based within the system of traditional tantric hatha yoga (an ancient and extremely effective technology for create optimum balance in body/mind/energy system), but also informed and guided by the ever-unfolding somatic intelligence of each individual body that takes part. The result is a practice that feels deeply held and supported by the wisdom of an ancient and highly effective framework - but that also leaves space for intuitive knowing; for softness when rigidity takes hold, and for effort when collapse makes itself known.

The result is the cultivation of the ability to lean on and draw from tradition for support, in a way that enhances our somatic awareness and ability to apply teachings to the reality of our Direct lived, felt experiences in the moment of their arising.

Over 5 months, from March-July 2026, we’ll engage in practice, study & enquiry together to unpack and embody more of what these traditions of Yoga, non-dual Tantra, & the Celtic wheel have to offer us.

This course is less of a ‘training’, and more of an immersive experience - an opportunity to fill in the blanks in your yoga education, to anchor the teachings more into a lived, felt and sensed experience and to explore how you might continue to integrate them into your worldview and daily lived relationships with the world.

See it an opportunity to locate yourself within the architecture of your body, mind, and eco-system, applying the frameworks of ancient wisdom to a modern-day life.

The practices we’ll engage with are based in both traditional tantric hatha yoga and somatic experiencing, which together combine to provide both structure, and the freedom to dance within that structure - along with the discernment to know which to lean on and when.

To understand body as earth, and earth as body, we need to develop modes of perception that help us come into Direct Relationship with the needs of the ever-unfolding, ever-changing moment.

Both yogic & tantric philosophy provide flexible roadmaps for us to do this.

“The task is to learn to listen to the intelligence of our home.
When we value what the body has to tell us, we create a dialogue with our senses. The same is true for the earth. The task is to develop a relationship with the details and cycles of life around us. In this way, we are participants in a larger story.
Control limits possibilities;
Dialogue invites surprise".”
- Andrea Olsen - Body & Earth

This immersion might be for you, if:

If you’ve ever felt that your teaching/practice lacked context, or asked questions like; ‘Why do we ‘practice’? What is sadhana? What’s the point of it all, and what’s my WHY for offering it back?’'
If you’ve longed for a way to interpret and understand the often cryptic teachings of both classical yoga philosophy and traditional tantric philosophy
If you long to be held as you uncover what sits just beneath the surface of your yoga, meditation or mantra practice, and cultivate a relationship with the natural intelligence that lives through, between, within and around all things (including within you).
If you feel your spiritual/yoga practices are disembodied, or purely ‘mind-based’, in that you understand the concepts logically but may need support integrating & embodying them

Course Aims:

To offer a contextual framework through which to view, apply and integrate tantric and yogic philosophy to your existing practices (and teaching/spaceholding).
To enter into dialogue and build a relationship with the subtle ground of awareness that lives at the core of who we are, which informs and determines the lens through which we view & experience life (and which offers us invaluable insight into our own innate longings, desires and purpose).
To explore different modes of perception through which we can view our practices and philosophical inquiries.
To invite participants into conversation with their own living, breathing, ever-fluctuating body and immediate environment, so as to anchor these teachings into something solid, tangible and imminent.
To begin to see the body as a conduit for ancient wisdom, landscape, and creative expression through which our lived experience in this moment can continually be created anew.
To work with the teachings & practices of classical yoga, traditional tantra, and somatic experiencing as methods of inquiry that lead us back to the same source understanding of ourselves as inseparable from the natural world we live in.

“The body is continuously moved by the original seamless energy of the world passing through it - whether we notice it or not. When we sensitize ourselves to the coursing of the world’s energy, we come to know things directly though the body’s resonance, by feeling them” - Philip Shephard, Radical Wholeness

TESTIMONIALS

"I have done many trainings since completing my first YTT 6 years ago but I don’t think I have ever done a training that has had this much of an impact on me. The Ground of Being training helped me to unlock a lot of elements of yoga that I began to explore in the past but this training helped me to experience them on a whole new level. Jenny is an incredible teacher and has such a skill for making content digestible, accessible and most importantly, helps her students to experience these concepts in their bodies. The training helped me to realise what I needed more of and bring that into my life through personal practice. I also feel well equipped to bring these teachings into my classes with my students. I felt such a supportive sense of community doing this training too and I’m very grateful for the journey we went on together. I would highly recommend this training to anyone that is feeling the pull." - Sarah

“The course was exceptional. Everything was delivered so beautifully. If a beginner like myself can take that volume of information in and digest it, it's good.”

“A beautiful journey of Self inquiry and recognition. Over the duration of the course I learned what makes a Tantric practice through the philosophy teachings, Hatha Yoga, guided meditations, mantra and numerous exercises. Highly recommended for all levels. A life changing course for me personally.” - David
