Who am I?

You could glean public information about me from my Wikipedia page, or read through ten years of weblog to discover my more personal thought processes.

Carolyn on Wikipedia

I was born in Chelsea in 1960. This seems relevant because it frames my open-minded and creative approach to my work as a psycho-sexual and relationship therapist. My areas of interest, work and specialisation include, in no particular order, sex therapy, couples and relationship work, Maternal Perversion, trauma both past and current, addiction in all its forms, anxiety in all its forms, and pre and post natal issues including birth trauma, diastases recti and tocophobia. I am an embodied psychotherapist and work with the internal trauma cycles as they affect the mind, behaviour and regulation of the self.

A Specialist in Shame, Anxiety, Addiction, Sexuality, Breathwork and Yoga.
Kundalini Global Yoga Founder
Join classes and workshops:

Join me for a new series of six yoga classes that Join me for a new series of six yoga classes that include a short talk that frame our practice, some breathwork, and a yoga series that relates to the discussion at the start. 

18:30-20:00 UK time. Recorded. Global (people come from all over the world). Sign in early to say hi and ask questions. 

This six week course is called Beyond Shame. 

If you’re new to me and my work, this is a great way to dip your toes in and consider if you’d like to take on one of my trainings or workshops. 

Something quite unique in my classes is the way in which I explain the embodied work through the lens of my day job as a trauma therapist, and the understanding I hand you of WHY what we are doing in each yoga posture is helpful in working on the body and mind. 

I teach a style of yoga called Kundalini Global. It is quite different to other forms of Kundalini you might try. 

If you’re a familiar face, this series may be especially valid if you’ve done my Mastering the Addictive Nature training or The Shame Workshop. What do we do to keep ourselves on the path to becoming the possible human? 

The course of six 90 minute classes is £58. It works out at £9.67 per class. 

You have access to recordings for a total of ten weeks. 

No experience is required. 

No diagnosis is required. 

If you’re someone who has anxiety or depression, a tendency to people please, if you are a perfectionist to a fault, ADHD, high levels of stress, do risky things, if you struggle to put down your phone… if you are suffering in any way (who isn’t?) this may well help, both physically and mentally. 

You will gain understanding and find practices that truly work to reset yourself. 

Join me, beautiful person. 

You’ll find the link to sign up in my bio. Or go to CarolynCowan.com and click on the banner for “Beyond Shame”. You will get an email with all the info you need to join tonight, or catch up if you can’t make it live, right away. 

I hope to see you there. 

With love

Beyond Shame

Shame does not always announce itself as shame.

Sometimes it sounds like:

Who do you think you are?

Don’t ask for too much.

Don’t take up too much space.

You should be grateful.

Other people deserve this more than you do.

Shame may manifest in the belief that there is something about you that needs to be hidden, improved, controlled or apologised for.

Often, it simply becomes the way you live.

Beyond Shame is a six-week exploration of what happens when we begin to loosen that grip.

These classes will invite you to become curious about the ways shame has shaped the body, the nervous system, our relationships, and our sense of what we are allowed to want.

90 mins per class. Recorded. Low cost. Come along. Give my style of teaching yoga a try.

Beautiful Person, We are so often looking to calm Beautiful Person,

We are so often looking to calm down and to regulate. And I am a fan of doing so. Sometimes that is exactly what is needed.

You need energy. Rhythm. Heat. Breath. Presence.

Alive! begins tomorrow morning! Six weeks of strong breathwork to wake up the body and begin the week feeling clearer, brighter and more here. Start the week sparkly. You do not need any experience with breathwork. 

It is 30 minutes.
It is live online.

Beautiful Person, Shame is rarely as obvious as w Beautiful Person,

Shame is rarely as obvious as we imagine it to be.
It can become the voice that tells you not to want too much. Not to be difficult and keep everyone happy. Get it right. Do it now. It is not safe to rest. 

It can become perfectionism, pleasing, performing, disappearing.

And eventually, you may not experience any of this as shame at all as you just think: this is who I am.

For six Wednesday evenings, I am teaching Beyond Shame. It is an exploration through Kundalini Global yoga, breathwork and conversation of the ways shame becomes held in the body, the nervous system, our relationships and, particularly, in our ideas about what we deserve.

We will practise something different.

You do not need to be good at yoga. You do not need any previous experience. You certainly do not need to arrive as a better, calmer or more sorted-out version of yourself.

Come exactly as you are.

Beautiful Person, there are many things you can do Beautiful Person, there are many things you can do for 30 minutes that will leave you feeling worse.

Scroll.
Read the news.
Think about everything you haven’t done.

Or you can breathe.

My new Monday morning series, ALIVE!, is deliberately short: 30 minutes of strong breathwork to start the week.

This is not six weeks of telling you to take one lovely deep breath and imagine a cloud.

We will work.

You do not need to be good at it.

You do not need previous experience.

You certainly do not need to look impressive while doing it.

And because I want these classes to be genuinely accessible:

Six classes cost £30.

That is £5 per class.

Mondays, 6–6.30am UK time, live online.

And yes, there are recordings. Because I am perfectly aware that some of you do not wish to encounter another human being at six o’clock in the morning. Even if that human is me.

ALIVE! Six Monday mornings. 30 minutes each. Stro ALIVE!

Learn more about my flagship, week long, workshop, Learn more about my flagship, week long, workshop, Mastering the Addictive Personality: The Path Out of Hell, on my website: carolyncowan.com 

The training is seven consecutive days from 7th-13th November, 9:30-17:00. You can join in person in Battersea London or do it all online. Or a mix. 

It involves learning, lecture, groupwork, yoga and breathwork (used as tools for emotional regulation). Anyone who is a yoga teacher or other similar practitioner can take on a further exam, after the week, to certify to teach in prisons, rehabs, or do addiction and anxiety recovery classes themselves.
Not all breathwork is about calming yourself down. Not all breathwork is about calming yourself down.

Sometimes I want to work with breath that is and wonderfully physical.

Breath of Fire. Pumping breaths. Rhythmic breaths. Practices that require your attention and bring you very firmly into your body.

And then, after great effort, we stop… the moments afterward are the most interesting part.

The mind has gone somewhere else. The body feels different. There can be stillness, clarity, energy, that fabulous post-breath buzz.

On my breathwork trainings I divide the breath broadly into calming and stimulating practices. Strong breathwork has a completely different personality. It asks more of you, and gives you a chance to discover what happens when you stay with yourself through the effort.

ALIVE! is my new six-week Monday morning breathwork series.

30 minutes.
6am UK time.
Live online, with recordings if 6am feels… offensive! (I am very much a morning person) 

Six classes are £30, just £5 per class.

No previous breathwork experience is necessary.

My name is Carolyn Cowan and I am a psychotherapis My name is Carolyn Cowan and I am a psychotherapist who specialises in shame, trauma, hell states that manifest in all kinds of ways...

Shit happens and this, beautiful person, is all about what you do with it...

The Path Out of Hell: Mastering the Addictive Personality is a unique seven-day workshop. 

Those interested in training with me in these realms are different.

I like that. It means that they can recognise suffering. In themselves, certainly. And perhaps also in the other..

Taking place over seven days in London, November 7-13,  you can read more about it on my website.

Shame and addiction are very often entwined. Not Shame and addiction are very often entwined.

Not always obviously or in ways we expect.

Things we do compulsively: substances, behaviours, relationships, thoughts and patterns we return to again and again… they often have something underneath them that we are trying not to feel.

Shame. 

My Shame Workshop and Mastering the Addictive Personality are completely separate workshops. You absolutely do not need to do one in order to do the other.

But they work beautifully hand in hand.

One explores shame: where it comes from, how it lives in the body, how it shapes our sense of self and what it means to begin loosening its grip.

The other looks at the addictive nature, the compulsions, obsessions and behaviours we use to manage ourselves, soothe ourselves, escape ourselves or survive what feels unbearable.

Different doors. Often into the same room.

Beginning a week on Tuesday, a series of six, stro Beginning a week on Tuesday, a series of six, strong, 60-minute, Kundalini Global yoga classes that play with the power of presence. My long-standing Tuesday morning class is now one hour long and booked in blocks of six. By popular demand, it will is also recorded.

Whilst I describe these hour-long classes as ‘strong’, there is a gentleness in their intention. 

When I teach yoga online, globally, even though we can’t touch, we make extraordinary change via how the group energy has a butterfly effect.

We work hard in the class (though we laugh, experience stillness, do all kinds of things). Afterwards, each of us disperse from the class and move back out into our lives. We do so feeling and behaving differently. Being present. 

Remember, beautiful person, your mat is a magical space.

When we can become still and present we’re capable of incredible transformation. 

These 60-minute, classes will include breathwork, and a yoga series that is framed around an intention for each class. We will play with the Kundalini, we will create our own change. 

Tuesday classes are now recorded, available via Vimeo until four weeks after the classes end. A new series will begin every six weeks. You can sign up at any time. 

Just over £8 per class. Register on my website via the link in my bio.
