Softness and strength | a yoga workshop

​An embodied, somatic, Kundalini-flavoured yoga practice for women ready to lead.
Think leadership development meets yoga.

​A space for women redefining what leadership looks and feels like — beginning in the body, not the mind.

​(please note leadership is an energy, not a role, so you don't need to be leading others professionally to attend)

​Led by Ruth Penfold, this practice brings together over a decade of yoga teaching with deeply embodied work rooted in somatics, nervous system intelligence, and Kundalini energy. Designed for women navigating leadership, growth, and change, it supports you to access both the softness and the strength required to be fully yourself in the world.

​Because real leadership isn’t about choosing one or the other.
It’s about holding both.

​Soft enough to feel, to listen, to stay open.
Strong enough to act, to decide, to lead.

​Through breathwork, somatic movement, subtle activation, and grounding sequences, you’ll learn how to regulate your nervous system, access your energy, and move between effort and ease with intention.

​This is not about pushing harder.
It’s about becoming more available to your own power.

​Expect grounding. Activation. Release. Clarity.
You’ll leave feeling more centred, more resourced, and more connected to your embodied leadership.
