Discover how to build agency over your mental and physical wellbeing
Gut health and mental health are a two-way street and each has an impact on the other. At this half-day workshop you will:
Explore how our mental state can affect our physical health via the gut-brain connection
Understand how, conversely, our guts and the food we eat can affect our mental and cognitive health
Learn how to support the gut-brain connection through movement and breath (both on and off the mat)
Discuss nutrition and lifestyle tweaks that can help build emotional and physical resilience
Who is this workshop for?
It’s for anyone who want to understand more about the gut-brain connection. The yoga is inclusive, safe and accessible, and all levels and needs are accommodated. Please note, however, that it is not suitable for pregnancy.

Facilitated by Lindsey Beveridge
I have been running online and in-person workshops and retreats on gut health, mental health, addiction recovery and the menopause transition since 2019.
My personal history of overcoming an alcohol addiction, a nicotine addiction and binge-eating led me to have a special interest in working with people who struggle with anxiety, low mood, and / or addictions to alcohol or other damaging substances or behaviours.
Since qualifying as a naturopathic nutritionist in 2019, and later as a transformational coach, I have helped 1000s of people shift damaging patterns of behaviour. I’ve helped them implement positive changes to their diet and lifestyle so they can feel better. I trained as a Kundalini yoga and breathwork teacher because movement and breath are fundamental to healing and it has played a foundational role in my own recovery process.
I’d love to see you there.
“Thanks very much for the workshop which I found thorough, informative and interesting. I learned a lot and feel armed with really helpful information that I can use to help myself. I found the effect of the yoga quite extraordinary. It transformed my frame of mind and I slept really well and felt calm which carried on into the next day. Very powerful!”
About Kundalini Global
Kundalini Global works with the stress system. We experience how movement and breath can change how we feel - quite quickly. It is a wonderful practice for people who suffer from anxiety, low mood, and/ or addictive behaviour patterns.
The practice supports nervous system health - neurotransmitter and hormone release, fascia and psoas muscle release, and vagal tone - and I explain a bit as we go along.
It was founded by Carolyn Cowan, a yoga teacher and teacher trainer with decades’ worth of experience, who is also a psychotherapist specialising in trauma, anxiety, addiction, shame, and more.
Kundalini Global is unattached to any religious or spiritual practice or guru and it's suitable for all body types and levels of fitness. It is not suitable for pregnancy, however.
