Yoga at Ventnor Fringe — back for a fourth year

Published 23 days ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader, This July I'm back at Ventnor Fringe for the fourth year, teaching two morning sessions at the Workshop Tent in Ventnor Park on Tuesday 21st and Wednesday 22nd July, both at 10 am.

Yoga — but not as you know it!

If you found your way to this list via the site, you'll know that what I teach doesn't look much like most yoga you encounter. It isn't really about poses, sequences, or becoming more flexible. It's more about noticing — the difference between unnecessary effort and genuine ease, how your breath moves you before you've thought about it, and what your nervous system is actually doing when you move.

​
That's difficult to explain in a paragraph, which is probably why I keep teaching it in person.

​
Ventnor Fringe is a good place to encounter it for the first time. Both sessions are open to all levels, no yoga background needed, just a willingness to pay attention.

Tuesday 21 July — 10:00 am & Wednesday 22 July — 10:00 am Tickets from £10 · General Admission £13.50

I'm also planning a half-day workshop somewhere on the Island in September, a chance to go properly into the work in a studio setting. Nothing confirmed yet, but I'll be in touch when it is.

Yoga with Erling

Yoga is your awareness – Yoga in action is how well you discriminate between tension, effort and ease when you move in poses.

I guide a Scaravelli-inspired approach that invites you to listen inwardly and move with natural intelligence.Whether you’re new to yoga or returning to the mat, each class is an exploration of awareness—breath by breath.

Erling McCracken Yoga Together Dear Reader, As many of you know, I had a total hip replacement in January 2024. During recovery, I wrote a blog starting from the hospital ward - perhaps those insights came from the intensity of surgery (and maybe the painkillers!), but either way, I'd entered a new phase of life. I used my practice before surgery to manage my condition, and I trusted it after surgery to heal. And heal I have. Now I'm ready to work with you again. I've learned much about...
