Nearly 80% of people will experience low back pain at some point in their lives. If you practise or teach yoga, chances are you have experienced it yourself or worked with someone who has.

But what is actually happening in the low back? And how do we understand pain and movement without simply labelling certain poses as “good” or “bad”?

This free one-hour class with Dr Rob Lamport, DC, looks at the low back in simple, practical terms. Structure, movement and how it relates to the nervous system.

Whether you teach yoga, practice regularly, or simply want to better understand your own body, this class will give you a clearer foundation for thinking about low back pain and appropriate movement.

The Vijñāna Bhairava Tantra is one of the most refined texts on direct perception and awareness within the Tantric tradition.

Level II carries this study into the middle section of the text, where the ground of contemplation widens beyond breath into sound, mantra, light, space, sensory perception, movement, stillness, and emotion.

This course extends the same lens established in Level I into subtler and more varied terrain, without presenting this stage as a departure from what has already been learned.

Rather than presenting this stage as separate or self-contained, this course reveals how its insights directly support:

• mantra and inner vibration (nāda)

• perception through light and space

• the senses as a ground for practice, not a distraction from it

• movement, stillness, and emotion as legitimate objects of awareness

Each session brings the teachings into lived experience, continuing to bridge śāstra and practice in a clear, applicable way.

Starts 2 pm (BST) Wednesday, 19 August 2026 (10 weekly classes)

Completion of Level I, or an equivalent grounding in the philosophical foundation of the text, is recommended before beginning Level II.

Join us for a comprehensive journey through the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, one of the most important classical texts in the Hatha Yoga tradition. Guided by Vedic scholar Dr. Vigneshwar Bhat, this course brings forward the depth of traditional yogic knowledge with clarity, precision, and heartfelt integrity.

Rooted in ancient wisdom and made relevant for modern-day practitioners, this study will unfold each chapter of the Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā over four focused sections. Students will explore key Sanskrit verses, their deeper meanings, and how to apply these timeless teachings in daily life and practice.

Learn to chant the Gaṇapatī Atharvaśīrṣa with precision and understanding. A 7-class live course in Vedic chanting with Tara Mitra, taught in the oral tradition and grounded in the principles of śikṣā.

This Upanishad is one of the ancient philosophical texts of Hinduism and is part of the Krishna Yajurveda. 

It is divided into three sections, known as "Vallis" or chapters: the Shiksha Valli, the Brahmananda Valli, and the Bhrigu Valli.

Shiksha Valli (Chapter on Education): This section deals with the importance of education and the duty of a student towards his teacher (Guru). It contains teachings on various subjects including phonetics, grammar, meter, and astronomy, emphasizing the holistic approach to education.

Brahmananda Valli (Chapter on the Bliss of Brahman): This chapter delves into the nature of Brahman, the ultimate reality, and the path to realizing it. It discusses the various sheaths (koshas) that veil the true Self (Atman) and outlines a gradual journey of self-realization through meditation and contemplation. 

Bhrigu Valli (Chapter on Bhrigu): This section narrates the story of Bhrigu, a sage, who undertakes a journey to discover the ultimate reality. Through a series of meditative inquiries, Bhrigu realizes that Brahman is the underlying essence of all existence, transcending the material world.

The Taittiriya Upanishad is renowned for its philosophical depth and spiritual insights. It explores profound concepts such as the nature of the self (Atman), the relationship between the individual soul and the universal consciousness (Brahman), and the methods of attaining spiritual liberation (Moksha). It is considered one of the principal Upanishads and is revered by scholars and spiritual seekers for its profound wisdom and timeless teachings.

In this in-depth study we will be taught in two sections for each Upanishad.
