BWY SUMMER SOLSTICE YOGA FESTIVAL 2026
I am thrilled to be teaching at this years BWY Summer Solstice Event.
The event is called Grounded in the Glow and it’s happening online on Friday 19th June 2026 — a full day of yoga with a brilliant line-up of experts, for teachers, enthusiasts and everyone in between.
I’ll be guiding a session on myofascial release, acupressure and nervous system regulation — practical, effective tools for calming and balancing the nervous system, drawing on both Eastern and Western perspectives.
Summer can amplify stress and restlessness. This session gives you real ways to counteract that.
You’ll just need two tennis balls or myofascial balls — that’s it.
All online. All from your own mat. Recordings available too if you can’t make it live.

I hope to see you there! 😊🧘
Cooling the Fire: Myofascial Release, Acupressure, and Nervous System Regulation with Vicky Arundel
We live in a yang-dominant culture, and the heat and intensity of summer can amplify this – often showing up as burnout, feeling “tired but wired”, restlessness, or mental agitation. This session invites you to explore how working with the fascia can offer a powerful and practical entry point into calming, balancing, and regulating the nervous system, drawing on both Eastern and Western perspectives of health.
Through a blend of theory and experiential practice, you’ll be guided toward a deeper embodied understanding of how fascial work can support physical ease, energetic balance, and nervous system resilience. For the practice portion, participants will be invited to use a pair of myofascial balls (or two tennis balls as an alternative).

Wednesday 1st July 2026 6-8pm: Yoga Therapy for Hypermobility
Given its emphasis on flexibility and mobility, yoga is not often thought of as an effective or even advisable practice for someone diagnosed with hypermobility. This is a shame because yoga has much to offer the hypermobile student beyond just asana.
At the same time, many people with hypermobility may be drawn to a yoga practice, precisely because they experience some skill in the postures, and these students can benefit greatly from small changes to the focus and scope of their practice.
This seminar is about how to use the many tools of yoga in a way that best supports the hypermobile student, mitigates any potential issues associated with the practice, and to help them flourish at all levels of health and wellbeing, not just physical.
In this seminar you will learn:
- What hypermobility is, what it isn’t and how it affects health and wellbeing at all levels of a person
- The role of the nervous system in movement and implications for how we teach movement to hypermobile students
- How to keep the hypermobile student safe and supported including possible practices to use with caution or avoid entirely
- How to use yogic tools to address other common issues related to hypermobility including; interoceptive/proprioceptive challenges, anxiety, digestive complaints, fatigue and chronic pain.
