Feeling More, Holding Less
A weekend of Yoga with Bill Wood
Saturday 27th & Sunday 28th February 2027
Sharrow Performing Arts Space, Sheffield
£150
About the course
This weekend of yoga will explore how yoga poses can be felt as places of dynamic balance within us, rather than as specific physical shapes. Places we can access via feeling rather than mind, as our practice becomes as much a form of mindfulness as it is a bodywork, and where our asanas become increasingly fluid and ever-changing expressions of this growing awareness.
The weekend will be posture based, with periods of relaxation and sitting practice woven in.
Who is the course for
This course is open to all, Yoga practitioners, teachers & student teachers and for anyone interested in developing their understanding and experience of movement and asana in Yoga.

About the teacher : Bill Wood
Bill has spent over 30 years working in the yoga world – teaching classes, courses, workshops and retreats – and always with a passion for where the physicality of the practice draws us mysteriously into that transformative yet very simple sense of stillness and inner quiet.
While inspired by many different yoga and meditation traditions, his main influence has been the teachings of the late Vanda Scaravelli, and he continues to study with Sandra Sabatini, one of her longest standing students. Before that he also studied for 18 years with Diane Long, trained over many years with Sophie Hoare and John Stirk, and is also qualified as a Yoga Therapist (YBT), as a Sivananda Yoga Teacher, and as a Core Process Psychotherapist.
Away from his mat he also mentors in the world of outdoor education and nature connection, recently completed a training in Parts Work (IFS) and, in his down time, can often be found wandering on Dartmoor with a scruffy lurcher, or paddling a canoe down towards the sea.
