The Layers of Being Free Masterclass Series

Five layers. Five doorways. One unfolding journey into embodied awareness.

What if every layer of your being offered a doorway into a deeper experience of yourself?

Join us for a free series of masterclasses exploring the five Koshas through the lens of Anusara Yoga and the non-dual Tantric teachings of Kashmir Shaivism.

Through philosophy, embodied inquiry and accessible practices, we’ll explore the body, breath, mind, wisdom and bliss as expressions of consciousness to honour, understand and celebrate.

Each session offers a unique doorway into the teachings, with accessible insights to bring into your yoga practice and everyday life.

Explore the teachings. Deepen your practice. Embody your wholeness.

Lucy McCarthy

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.
