What are Yoga Workshops?
Erling’s Scaravelli-inspired Yoga workshops provide a unique opportunity to explore and understand how well you are able to move in yoga postures and how compliant you are with your unique body map. As humans, our movements are influenced by our neurological makeup, and it is important that our yoga practice supports and enhances this rather than pushing us beyond our limits and potentially causing long-term complications.
Under Erling’s experienced guidance, you will have the chance to change your awareness of how you “do yoga” and learn how to approach your practice in a way that is kind and respectful to your body. You will learn how to use your breath and skeletal structure to find greater ease and grace in your movements through a combination of discussion, demonstration, and hands-on practice.
In addition to improving your physical practice, Erling’s workshops will also explore yoga’s mental and emotional aspects, including mindfulness and self-awareness. By the end of the workshop, you will have gained a deeper understanding of how to approach your practice in a holistic and sustainable way, and you will be well-equipped to continue exploring and growing on your own.
If you are interested in attending a Scaravelli-inspired Yoga workshop, please get in touch with Erling to learn more and reserve your spot. I look forward to supporting you on your journey towards greater health and well-being.
Online Yoga Workshops.
Teaching Yoga workshops online is a reality in 2021. Zoom has enabled teachers to present their work to a greater audience, spanning time zones and continents. For me, it is a great opportunity to share my Yoga Philosophy. Numbers are limited, so you get the attention you need.
In-person Yoga Workshops.
As a Scaravelli-inspired Yoga teacher, I am passionate about offering workshops as a teaching platform. In a workshop, we have the time and space to explore various themes and deepen our understanding of this holistic practice.
Yoga workshops themes
Erling’s yoga workshops are a unique blend of theory and practice. In the morning sessions, we will explore the underlying principles and concepts of yoga, delving into topics such as the natural range of movement in the spine and the importance of a healthy neurological body map. In the afternoon sessions, we will put these ideas into practice, learning how to incorporate them into our yoga practice.
These workshops offer a rare opportunity to deepen our understanding of yoga and improve our overall health and well-being.
Vanda Scaravelli understood natural balance and how to find it in her yoga.
From her training in the anatomical precision of Iyengar Yoga and the emphasis on breath and ease in Desikachar’s Viniyoga, Vanda developed her own distinctive way of working with breath and gravity to free the spine. She distilled movement to a few essential principles: the surrender of the lower part of the body to gravity gives back a lightness that liberates the upper part of the body.
She inspired a generation of yoga teachers to explore and develop these principles, which continues today.
My Intention
In his workshops, he incorporates many of the principles and techniques that Vanda developed, such as the emphasis on breath and gravity and the exploration of the natural range of movement in the spine.
Yoga is about awareness.
Erling believes that yoga is about cultivating awareness and tapping into the body’s innate intelligence. In his classes, he encourages students to listen to their internal dialogue and explore the connection between body and mind.
Why do I teach Scaravelli-inspired yoga?
Through his workshops, Erling aims to help students connect with their own unique body and breath and to develop a deeper understanding of the principles of Scaravelli-inspired yoga. His teachings are deeply rooted in the philosophy of this approach, and he encourages his students to develop a personal practice that is nourishing and sustainable.
Erling’s workshops provide a rare opportunity to learn from a teacher who has been greatly influenced by Vanda Scaravelli and her pioneering work in the world of yoga.
Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a beginner, these workshops will offer you valuable insights and techniques to enhance your practice.
Is Yoga Exercise or How I Feel?
Yoga activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the body’s relaxation response. Through the use of physical postures, controlled breathing, and mindfulness practices, yoga helps to calm the mind and reduce stress and anxiety.
As a yogi, our beliefs determine yoga’s true meaning. Our thoughts shape our reality and influence how we perceive the world around us. For me, yoga is a practice that helps me to connect with my true self and find inner peace and clarity. It is a way of learning to let go of limiting beliefs and expectations and be present in the moment.

The Evolution of Yoga
The Evolution of Yoga: A Modern Postural Perspective.
This workshop delves into the history and practice of Modern Postural Yoga, tracing its evolution and unpacking traditional elements with modern evidence-based movement theories and the teachings of Vanda Scaravelli. Participants will discover the importance of the spine as the engine of movement and how to use the breath to release tension from the body. The benefits of postural yoga, including improved physical health, enhanced mental well-being, and a strong foundation in practice, will also be explored. This workshop offers an opportunity to deepen knowledge and experience of the ancient tradition from a modern, evidence-based, and Scaravelli-inspired perspective.
A Compliant Spine
Discover the Importance of a Compliant Spine in Yoga Practice.
This yoga workshop emphasises the significance of a compliant spine for healthy movement. It covers various topics, including recognising signs of a non-compliant spine and its impact on yoga practice. The workshop also delves into how to concentrate on a yoga routine to enable the spine to move compliantly, freely, and safely. Lastly, it offers valuable insights and techniques to prevent common injuries and discomfort while allowing ease of movement.
Breathing, it’s just you
Unlock the Power of Breath through Yoga.
Breathing is a natural human ability, but tension in our daily lives can lead to restricted breathing and poor health. In yoga, we give breath special significance because of its connection to prana, the vital life force. In this workshop, participants will learn techniques to release muscular tension, allowing the body to self-regulate breathing and improve overall health and well-being. The focus is on allowing the body to be its natural self rather than imposing ideas on oneself. Join the workshop to enhance your breath and optimise your health.
Theory of movement
Exploring the Theory of Movement in Modern Yoga Practice.
This yoga workshop aims to examine the theory of movement and its relevance to modern postural yoga practice. Participants will delve into the historical and cultural background of yoga asana and the principles of the theory to develop safe and effective methods for practising yoga that avoid harm to the body. Through discussions and practical exercises, participants will gain valuable insights and techniques to enhance their practice and improve their overall health and well-being.
