Small Practices, Profound Shifts
Looking for simple yet profound practices to support calm, focus, vitality and connection?
Mudra and mantra are two of yoga’s most subtle yet transformative tools, offering accessible ways to regulate the nervous system, steady the mind and restore a sense of balance. In a world of constant stimulation and distraction, simple practices that support calm, focus and connection can be invaluable.
Used for thousands of years, these practices can help reduce stress and overwhelm, improve concentration, support emotional wellbeing and cultivate greater energy and resilience. They also offer a meaningful way to deepen meditation, reconnect with inner wisdom and create moments of stillness within busy daily life.
Mudras are specific hand gestures that influence the flow of energy within the body and mind. While mantras use sound and repetition to focus awareness, quiet mental chatter and encourage deeper states of presence. Together, they can support feelings of grounding, clarity and ease, helping to shift both mental and energetic states.
This 90-minute workshop explores the roots of mudra and mantra within the yogic tradition and their relevance for modern wellbeing. Through discussion, exploration and guided practice, discover practical tools that can be returned to again and again to support sleep, meditation, emotional balance and everyday resilience.
What to expect:
During this workshop we will:
• Learn about the history and purpose of mudra and mantra within the yogic tradition.
• Explore how these practices influence the nervous system, mind and energetic body.
• Experience a selection of simple yet powerful mudras for grounding, focus, vitality and inner calm.
• Discover how mantra can support meditation, concentration and emotional wellbeing.
• Learn practical ways to incorporate mudra and mantra into daily life.
• Enjoy a guided practice combining mudra, mantra, breath and meditation.
Who it’s for:
Suitable for all levels, teachers and anyone interested in exploring authentic yogic practices for wellbeing,
self-discovery and inner connection.
No previous experience of mudra, mantra or meditation is required.

Lucy discovered yoga while touring India as an actress in a Shakespeare production. What began as curiosity quickly became a daily practice after early morning classes on a rooftop with a local teacher. Drawn to the clarity, calm and lightness yoga brought to both mind and body, she has continued to study deeply with teachers along the way. Lucy teaches mindful, heartfelt Vinyasa Flow, alongside Yoga Nidra, restorative and pregnancy yoga, with meditation forming an important part of her practice and teaching.
