Next foundation course coming soon.
Please see testimonials from students on previous courses below.
The course is designed for committed students of yoga who wish to deepen their knowledge in all that yoga offers us, to develop a personal practice or, for those who may be interested in teaching yoga, as a stepping stone to becoming a teacher. Limited to a small number of students to ensure individual support and attention, the course is suitable for students with at least two years of yoga experience. If you have less experience and are interested in the course, please contact Christina Jones.
We will explore the authentic and influential tradition of Professor T Krishnamacharya and his son, TKV Desikachar. This unique approach integrates practical teachings about āsana ( movement and postures), prāṇāyāma ( breathing practices), use of sound and meditative techniques, along with the psychology and philosophy of Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtra-s (which are astoundingly relevant to the challenges of modern life) and other key yoga texts. This particular yoga tradition emphasises the importance of adapting yoga to the individual.
TSYP is the organisation in the UK which represents the teachings of this tradition. Professor T Krishnamacharya is known as the ‘father of modern yoga’ and his son, TKV Desikachar, is widely credited with bringing the teachings of yoga to the West.

Testimonials for the Foundation Course 2024
“I thoroughly enjoyed the Yoga Foundation course that I did with Christina. The course was well paced with good resources and excellent teaching.
This course helped me to understand more about yoga and that understanding has developed my practice. This in turn has given me a better awareness of my body, the fact that it can’t do everything all the time and needs rest and adjustments. And that that is OK.
I have found that I practice regularly after this course and this has meant that I am:
And I enjoy life so much more!”
“What a wonderful year of enlightenment and a continuation of an amazing journey, which started for me pre-lockdown when I attended my first Vedic chanting class with one of the amazing teachers of TSYP. Many years later I met Christina on a Summer retreat and I knew, without hesitation; that I wanted to enrol on her Foundation course. Christina has taught me so much and it was a pleasure to attend such a wonderful calm space with so many amazing human beings. No one trying to delve into what was going on in each others lives, but very gently and organically making connections and friendships and learning so much from one another.
