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.

Living Ritual Week Two is all about Attention Joi Living Ritual Week Two is all about Attention

Join me. 

Where is your attention today?

On your phone? Someone else’s life? On the news?
On tomorrow?

Attention is rarely neutral.

It is quietly creating the world you live inside.

This week in Living Ritual we’re learning how to notice where our attention goes, and how to choose differently.

This is an eight week series that includes weekly yoga, breathwork and reflection. All ready and waiting for you. Sign up now and get instant access to week one, with week two landing in inboxes tomorrow morning.

Beautiful person, Your attention is shaping your Beautiful person, 

Your attention is shaping your experience of being here, of being alive.

Every moment, every notification… with each headline that tempts you to click, each time you reach for your phone without thinking.

This week inside Living Ritual we’re exploring Attention. By noticing where our energy goes we begin gently choosing to bring it back.

If you’d like to join us, it’s not too late.

You’ll receive Week One immediately and be ready for Monday’s new practices.

This is a series that runs over the summer, as I take a break from live classes, it includes pre-recorded yoga and breathwork alongside an email each Monday morning from me in which I share a ritual and reflection for the week ahead. Yes, beautiful person, I give you homework. Naughty of me, but if you do it… I’m confident you’ll be seeing change in your life by September! 

Sign up via the link in my bio. You will get a link to the classes from last week right away, an email with the words from me I sent last Monday… and you will be signed up to get the second week of content that lands tomorrow morning.

Beautiful person, Addiction isn’t just alcohol a Beautiful person, 

Addiction isn’t just alcohol and drugs.

It can be perfectionism or food. It can be excessive exercise, a shopping habit, the way you are in relationships…

Anxiety. That is a BIG one. Especially right now. 

It is suffering. It is anything that temporarily changes the way we feel but that … becomes its own kind of suffering. 

That’s why this work is relevant to far more people than they imagine.

I don’t believe in broken people.

I DO believe in, encounter a lot of, frightened people.

Overwhelmed people.

Disconnected people.

People who have learnt extraordinary ways to survive extraordinary pain.

When I work as a therapist or trainer, my aim isn’t to help you to become someone else.

The aim is to feel safe enough as yourself and, from there, things truly open up.

A Two-Day Pregnancy Yoga Teacher Training with Carolyn Cowan

Pregnancy is one of the most profound thresholds in a human life. It is a time of enormous physical change, emotional intensity, vulnerability, possibility, fear, hope, uncertainty and transformation.
 
It is also a time when many women first turn towards yoga, looking for steadiness, relief, breath, connection, community and a way to feel safer in the body.

Pregnant women deserve to be served well.

They deserve teachers who understand the pregnant body. They deserve classes that are safe, intelligent, inclusive and kind. They deserve to be met in the reality of their experience, rather than in a fantasy of what pregnancy “should” be.

This two-day training is for qualified yoga teachers who want to learn how to adapt yoga safely, creatively and confidently for pregnancy.

It is not limited to Kundalini Global teachers, or to teachers of one particular style of yoga. 

The intention is to give you practical, grounded knowledge that can be applied to the yoga you already teach.

Over two days, I will teach you how to work with the pregnant body, how to adapt posture and sequence, how to think about safety and contraindications, and how to begin to hold pregnancy yoga classes with clarity, confidence and sensitivity.

Beautiful person, You do not need an elaborate m Beautiful person, 

You do not need an elaborate morning routine.

You do not need to become a different person.

You do not need to perform spirituality in some instagram friendly way.

You simply need moments in the day where you return to yourself.

This is why the first week of Living Ritual is called Arriving.

So much pulls us away from the body, away from the breath, away from the present moment and the power of now. We live in the pain of the past, the fear of the future, the phone, the inbox, the old story, the next demand.

Ritual is how we interrupt that.

Gently.
Repeatedly.
In the smallest ways.

Living Ritual starts Monday.

Eight weeks.
One breath class and one yoga class each week.
Weekly reflections and simple practices from me.

Take yourself on.

Each week, on a Monday morning, you will receive:

One breathwork class lasting 30 minutes,
One yoga practice,
A short reflection from me,
A question or theme to contemplate throughout the week.

I encourage you to respond to the emails and let me know your reflections on what we walk through.

You will get new content each week for eight weeks and the recordings will stay available until 1st September.

Together we will explore a new theme each week. 

Week 1: Arriving

Before anything can change, we have to arrive. In a world that constantly pulls our attention away from ourselves, this first week is an invitation to slow down, come back into the body, and begin where you are. Not where you think you should be. Not where you were. Here.

The first week’s classes will land in inboxes at 6am on Monday morning. Register on my website: carolyncowan.com

An Eight-Week Summer Practice with Carolyn Cowan
6 July – 24 August 2026

Every summer I step back from teaching live classes for a few weeks.

Over the years, I have often shared individual recordings from my archive during this time. This year, I wanted to create something different.

Living Ritual is an eight-week guided journey through some of my favourite breathwork and yoga practices, carefully selected to support you through the summer months.

Ritual is what we do repeatedly: the thoughts we start and end our days with, the way we speak to ourselves, practices we return to and a range of habits that shape our days.

Over eight weeks we will explore how small, consistent practices can help us return to ourselves again and again.

Each week, on a Monday morning, you will receive:

One breathwork class lasting 30 minutes,
One yoga practice,
A short reflection from me,
A question or theme to contemplate throughout the week.

I encourage you to respond to the emails and let me know your reflections on what we walk through.

You will get new content each week for eight weeks and the recordings will stay available until 1st September.

Register now to get email one this coming Monday morning

In my work as a trauma therapist, I see again and In my work as a trauma therapist, I see again and again how people come with the desire to put down a behaviour. Stop being anxious. Stop drinking. Stop arguing with their partner. Stop all kinds of things. 

It becomes a game of whack a mole. One behaviour is dealt with but another springs up. Drinking becomes shopping. Shopping becomes doom scrolling. Doom scrolling turns into issues with food. 

It may be hard to understand, but much of this is rooted with an inability to face a core wound. To sit with shame.

Ritual helps us mark change, and to hold that it’s Ritual helps us mark change, and to hold that it’s important. Ceremony helps us honour what matters.

Without them, life can begin to feel strangely empty.

This October we’ll explore how ritual can bring meaning, depth and sacredness back into ordinary life.

#Ritual #Ceremony #Meaning
Altars are activated spaces. For me, they are plac Altars are activated spaces. For me, they are places where something different becomes possible. It isn’t magic (or doesn’t have to be). The possibility opens up because where we put our attention changes us.

When we repeatedly return to a space with intention, gratitude and devotion, that space begins to hold meaning.

And perhaps we begin to change too.

Prosperity, healing, grief, gratitude, transition and ceremony all begin somewhere. We may start with a candle, picking some flowers, a small act or by simply paying attention.

#RitualAndCeremony #Devotion #SacredSpace
Beautiful person, permission to hold things as sac Beautiful person, permission to hold things as sacred is not the preserve of those who align with a specific belief system or religion.

You may choose to light a specific candle with intention each evening, or to take an early morning walk without your phone, choosing to look up. Making tea. Lighting incense. Sitting quietly. Watering your plants as you speak to them (something that I do daily!) 

Ritual can be where you consciously place your attention, bringing presence and meaning to ordinary life. If you do this then the ordinary begins to change.
