Yoga is overflowing with so many transformative stories.
Hanuman leaping to save the Princess.
Arjuna getting a battle-ground pep talk.
A band of brothers losing their kingdom over a game of dice.
A lonely mother who created her own son… only to have him beheaded by her husband.
These are the well known, well-loved stories. The ones people are already weaving into their classes and workshops. The stories that inspire the statues on our altars. Maybe even the Yoga clothing you wear. The jewellery you buy.
But there are SO many others, and each of them has a potency that we can unpick, lay out and learn from.
Together we’ll meet some of the lesser-known heroes and champions, bad guys and villains and discover what they have to teach us, on AND off the mat.
Spend six weeks with me exploring the lesser known stories Yoga has to offer.

For years now I’ve been asked how I know so many Yoga stories, where I learn them all from, how I blend them into my classes, podcasts, emails and retreats.
I’ve also heard from teachers throughout this community that apparently my own story telling has a certain ‘thing’ about it!
So… it’s about time we all got together and celebrated all things Yoga and Story!
At this stage I’m proud to admit I’m a #YogaNerd. I like it. And, man, have I earned it!
I’ve also seen how powerful story telling is as a teaching tool. Archetypes are incredibly compelling, helping us and our students to explore the inner landscape as well as our relationships with others.
But the teachings of Yoga can be tricky territory without a guide.
That’s where I come in!
In Yoga and Story you’ll learn:
Some of my favourite Yoga stories and how to share them with your own voice and emphasis.
How to blend stories into your workshops and classes, giving your offerings some extra spice.
How to overlay Yoga philosophy to many of the teachings, bringing together much of what you’ve probably studied but may not yet have found relatable or relevant.
How to use the teachings of these powerful stories for your own reflection and contemplation practice, truly taking Yoga off the mat and into your life.
Essentially, its going to be 6 weeks of stories and Yoga Nerdy goodness!

“Not often enough does the opportunity arise to spend time exploring rich, colourful and surprisingly violent texts with a group of yoga nerds. Loved this journey, looked forward to every session and the discussion around the stories and how to take them into teaching. My students now get so disappointed if I don’t have a story to share in class 😂”
“I loved this course, so many rich stories I was enthralled by and plenty of discussion about application to make it practical.”
Everyone loves being told a story, right?
Stories have an incredible way to build connections, celebrate our commonality, enjoy the similarities we all share as we move through life.
Each week of this course I’ll tell you a story.
The juicy.
The sad.
The inspiring.
The grotesque.
And all relatable.
As a professional story teller of some time, I’ll also model how to customise stories to really suit your community.
Stories that are representative of who we are. Of our goals. Our challenges.
The underdog. The survivor.
Stories for all bodies, abilities, genders, ages.
Stories that build inclusion, not exclusion.
“ I loved the way that Amy helped me to look at the stories from a new perspective so that I could interpret them and use them in my teaching. The group discussions and Facebook interactions on how the other participants were using stories was inspiring. Thank you Amy for a great course.”
Each week we will also dive into substantive conversation. The program is about learning together in Satsang.
As our story completes, we will explore how the teachings, insights and underlying themes of each story can be applied to:
These conversations will be supported by my coaching and mentoring so you feel supported to fully explore what each of the teachings means for you, and how the new information and awareness can be woven into your life and business.

“It clarified who was who, it cleared up my lack of knowledge on the distinction between the Ramayana and Mahabharata and it taught me how to read between the lines of the story.
I took a lot of inspiration from the symbolic meanings and the stories themselves to have some great material for classes and managed to tell a story in each class for the whole of my 5 week term.
I really think that each story could be worked into a multitude of different class themes. I just wish I had more time to sit and read these stories all day!”
