21st, 22nd and 23rd of March 2025, in Battersea, London.
Shame is a dark and uneasy emotion lurking within the depths of our psyche, which when stirred, fires up a host of painful emotions and a deep and unavoidable desire to change how we feel, and thus, is a major trigger for the addictive personality.
Shame is insidious, hard to identify, awful to feel, tricky to contain and easy to pass on.
In this 3 day workshop we will focus on where we hold shame, where our family holds shame, in what areas of our lives we feel shame, and how much we mask its hold upon us with perfectionism. We will identify our core wounding.
Talking, lecture, group-work and frank discussion will give us a clear view of how to identify our shame, how we hold shame for others, and how we shame. No previous experience of yoga is necessary.
Tools, strategies, postures, breath and new thought concepts will all come together to give us a major leap forward on our journey towards wholeness and the ability to be present, to master the “shattered self”.
This course will be delivered in person at 5 The Old Laundry, Battersea, London SW11 1YF. 9.30am start and finish at 5.30pm with breaks for lunch and tea! all times are GMT.
Please bring a yoga mat, small pillow, shawl for the relaxation. Any questions please do email me.
Refunds & Cancellations: a full refund will be given if you cannot attend and if you let us know two weeks prior to the start of the workshop. There is a 50% retention fee if you cancel one week prior to the start and after that time no refunds will be issued.

Thank you so much for the workshop. It has been totally transformative.
I am grateful to you for many to things but I found your ability to create such a safe space in which for us to do the work we did, is a powerful testimony to the depth of your own experience and knowledge of the subjects we explored.
The best thing I’ve ever done to make genuine positive and long-lasting change in my life. I only regret that I didn’t do it sooner!
Gosh what a trip, thank you so much, I really can’t recommend this workshop enough. If the thought of it scares you a bit, or a lot, then you neeeeed to come on it!! It takes you to your worst fears, you cry , you laugh, but most importantly you get perspective to just look at them objectively and see them for what they are , and amazingly leave a lot of them behind. If you have any interest in a less painful life, of turning off that shame filter you seem to be applying to everything. Then try it What have you for to loose, other than a bunch of shame!
This shame workshop is THE self initiation to be Free and fully responsible of my life.
In this 3 day intensive workshop, I have experienced in an enormous safe and caring group setting that Iam loved, valuable and worth it Carolyn Cowan , has created this shame workshop with absolute radical inclusiveness and no rejection of any feeling, every emotional abandonment experienced in the past had her love and believe.
Carolyn’s background as a therapist hold’s the group in deep trust and safety.I could let go of the coat of the shame of my tall dark history . I was heard and listend to. I learned and understood the 8 types of abuse and shame, as well as my own safety mechanisms in relation to my stories.I learned about the attachment of such in our physical body’s, vagus nerve, major muscles, fascia and my own trauma bonding.I learned how to release stress , to regulate (because I can)for the pure joy of being present. Here and now smiling with gratitude 🙏
This past weekend was groundbreaking and I am feeling the doors are now open for huge change. I came into the workshop with dread, heaviness and feelings of helplessness. Over the 3 days together, you created an exquisitely safe space for deep inquiry, truth-telling, and transformation. I never knew I could go to the realms you took me to…I really got in touch with my strength like never before and I came out feeling empowered, lighter and with spaciousness in my heart. There is no one else I know who can guide with such integrity, generosity and kindness. I recommend the Shame workshop for anyone who is feeling stuck because of their stories and their past and is ready to take responsibility for themselves and move forward in life. It is a worthwhile journey.
It was such a gift to be with you and other kindred spirits in person and do this work, I am so glad I made the trip and the universe conspired to make it happen so smoothly. I bow in deep, deep gratitude! I especially bow to your commitment to alleviating suffering.
