Deep Core Awareness Intensive Day Workshop

‘Deep Core Awareness Intensive Day Workshop’
Next dates: July 26, August 29, 9am – 4pm (with breaks)
Price: €60
Price includes: 6 hours of teaching and guided practice. PDF booklet of workshop notes, access to a 30 minute guided home practice and additional home practice suggestions to help with your ongoing integration and understanding of this work.

NB Discounts available for women who have participated in certain Deep Core Awareness Involute courses with me previously – see the section below on how this workshop ties in with the Involute courses for more information.

Over the course of one immersive day we will go over the key underlying principles and themes of deep core awareness and have an embodied experience of our primary deep core muscles. Yes, it will be intense but it will also be fascinating, hugely insightful, and hopefully relaxing and enjoyable too!

My intention is that, by the end of the day, you will have an understanding of how your internal system of core, structural support works (clue, it’s not just the abdominals!) and how this system of deeply buried muscles and fascia works beyond our conscious mind and in intimate relationship with our nervous system response. You will be guided to consciously experience at least some of these deep muscles at work, and will have a felt sense of all of them working together as an interconnected system. This work also deeply focuses the mind internally, and is supportive of moving ourselves into our parasympathetic nervous system response of ‘rest and digest’. Don’t be surprised if you feel simultaneously very relaxed and quite tired by the end of the day as we will be working muscles that don’t often receive our undivided attention!

We will be aiming to cover the following content, using intelligently sequenced focused postures and exercises taken from the yoga tradition and beyond (e.g. we delve into the world of somatic and fascia-led movements at times and borrow from physiotherapist and osteopath inspired exercises to help us feel specific muscles working and/or stretching):

• What is our feminine, yin energy?
• Why is this work so important at this time?
• Principles of grounding and centering.
• Qualities of ‘yin’, deep core muscles.
• Our structural muscular cylinder of deep core support.
• Embodied understanding of our primary deep core muscles:
  • the transversus abdominis (the ‘front wall’)
  • the iliopsoas muscles (the ‘staircase’)
  • the internal obliques (the ‘side walls’)
  • the deep back muscles, especially multifidus muscles (the ‘back wall’)
  • the respiratory diaphragm (the ‘roof’)
  • brief overview of the pelvic floor suite of muscles (the ‘basement’)
• And, if we have time, we will look at the Deep Front Line and foot & throat diaphragms – putting it all together into a holistic body understanding of core support through integrated fascia awareness.

Advance booking is essential – please get in touch to book on or enquire (email beckymay283@gmail.com). I’m excited to go on this intensive journey with you, deep into the mysterious and infinitely wise workings of your inner being!

How This Workshop Ties in with Involute Women’s Yoga Offerings

This workshop is complementary to my Involute offerings, which are for women only.* If you have already participated in either Part 1 (Deep Core Awareness) of my Involute course in 2023-2024, or Involute Fundamentals course in 2025-2026 you receive a €20 discount on this day workshop as it covers similar content, making it just €40. This could be a great way to reconnect to the foundational deep core awareness themes of my Involute offerings and refresh your embodied memory of your deep core muscles, at any point on your Involute journey, but especially before joining another Involute course with me such as Involute Deepening or Involute Expanding.

Also, if you are a woman joining this workshop, I offer you a discounted bargain price of €75 on life-time access to the full pre-recorded Involute Fundamentals women’s yoga course offered in 2026, to encourage you to dive deeper into this work from a female body-centric approach. Completion of this course also acts as one of my preferred pre-requisites for joining subsequent Involute courses with me, such as Involute Deepening and Involute Expanding. This course comprises invaluable, precious material that draws from my decades-long yoga and personal embodied healing journey, and is made with a lot of love.

Your course access includes:

• Comprehensive course notes received as a PDF booklet;
• Lifetime access to the private Involute Fundamentals Youtube playlist of comprehensive explanatory videos of all terms, themes and muscles, x6 30 minute home practice videos and x6 2 hour live session recordings;
• Summary of the home practice and journalling prompt suggestions from the entire course.
• Ongoing support from me for any aspect of the course; and
• One free 30 minute check-in with me regarding any aspect of your experience of the course, at any point.

I believe in its power and importance at this time and want to get it out there, which is why I’m making these intensive workshops with full Involute Fundamentals course access available at this bargain price. 

* (For the guys, my intention is to one day make this depth of work accessible to your bodies too – work in progress, watch this space…!)
