Saturday 6th
10.30am - 1pm Morning Session: Invigorating inversions
We will be delving into the therapeutic benefits of inversions such as forearm balance and handstands. By familiarising ourselves with various progressions, we will be able to customize our inversion practice to meet our unique needs and aspirations. Furthermore, gaining knowledge about the natural alignment of the human body within inversions can help identify areas where we may not be stacking our bodies properly. This play shop offers a playful and relaxed environment for refining your handstand techniques.
2.30pm - 5pm Afternoon Session: Anatomy of Yoga Asana
This session takes a deep dive into the anatomy and biomechanics behind key yoga postures, with specific focus on the weekend practices. You'll explore how your individual physicality and how that influences your movement and to then adapt your practice accordingly. Learn how to observe and assess alignment in your own body and others, gaining tools to support your practice and if teaching - your skills. Perfect for practitioners and teachers alike, this session will enhance your understanding of the body in motion and deepen your embodiment of asana.
Sunday 7th
10.30am - 1pm Morning Session: Therapeutic Benefits of Back Bends
Are you interested in incorporating the therapeutic benefits of back bends into your practice? In this class, we'll explore the academic debate between back bends and power poses as methods for enhancing self-esteem and accessing untapped energy. During the workshop, we'll focus on mini back bends that offer an invigorating experience.
2.30pm - 5pm Afternoon Session: Pranayama & Meditation
Our final session of the weekend is all about integration and reflection. Through grounding pranayama, guided meditation, and subtle movement, we’ll create space to absorb the work of the previous sessions. Any questions that have arisen can be answered and delved in to, closing the weekend together in presence, anchoring the insights gained and leaving with a deep sense of wholeness.

About Jambo Truong
Jambo Dragon is what happens when biomechanics meets mysticism, and tradition gets laced with a cheeky grin.
A long-time yoga teacher and lineage holder, Jambo’s training spans Hatha, Ashtanga, Forrest Yoga, Kriya Yoga, and Tantra (Vajrayana)—each woven together with anatomical precision, deep spiritual insight, and a refusal to take anything too seriously (except transformation). As a regent of Kharchen Rinpoche, Jambo has been blessed to pass on lineage-based teachings with integrity and humour. You’ll be learning mantras from unbroken streams of wisdom, alongside the songs and medicine melodies that have lit up circles across the world.
Their work bridges science and spirit. Trained in acupuncture, myofascial release, structural reintegration, and energy work, Jambo also brings depth through modalities like Qi Gong, Reiki, and trauma-informed somatic practices. Think clinical nerd meets forest mystic—your fascia will feel it, and so will your soul.
🧘♂️ Come join us on the mat as we welcome Jambo back to Kindred.
Always a weekend not to be missed!!

About Jambo
Evidence-Based Yogi & Bodyworker and Yoga Therapist
Jambo is a multi-disciplinary practitioner with over two decades of experience integrating complementary medicine and Western healthcare. He has worked in diverse environments, assisting various age groups and marginalized communities. Jambo has advised UK local authorities on complementary medicine for trauma, chronic pain, and substance misuse, sharing these insights with yoga, bodywork, and well-being practitioners.
Jambo is also a public speaker, practitioner of Classical East Asian Medicine, Forrest Yoga Guardian, and Psychomagic Magician.
Yoga
Jambo frequently travels teaching workshops based on Forrest Yoga, Functional Anatomy and Native practises of the Medicine People. He is also an experienced bodyworker and bodywork teacher based on his multi-disciplinary practise of structural alignment, muscles testing and classical East Asian medicine.
As a Forrest Yoga Guardian and travelling assistant to Ana Forrest, he is committed to delivering the healing practise of Forrest Yoga in its most authentic form.
He supplements asana workshops with sessions on functional anatomy, neuro-science, applied kinesiology and structural bodywork. He has an immense amount of passion explaining why what we do works. Although these workshops sound heavily based on poses, he believes that the foundation for physical and emotional growth walk side by side.
The yoga mat is a safe arena to explore the areas we are working towards as well as the places we are afraid to meet. This safe space is deliberately generated so that we can walk with full integration.
All of our gifts and the shadows that we need to snuggle up to.
The Clinician
Jambo’s academic background includes comprehensive training in literature reviews and comparative studies of healthcare systems. This foundation led him to question traditional dogma and explore the effectiveness of various modalities, particularly in Biofeedback, Heart Rate Variability, and Nervous System Health. He continues his studies with clinical supervisors in acupuncture, scar tissue, and somatic counseling, constantly updating his knowledge to share with his students.
The Dragon
Jambo’s upbringing in Taoism and Buddhism, combined with training in classical and esoteric practices such as mantrayana and devotional yogas, forms the core of his work. His family’s emphasis on ritual and respect has profoundly influenced his approach. Over the years, Jambo has explored various esoteric and occult practices worldwide, training with both masters and charlatans. He has learned the importance of cultivating personal spirituality while honoring traditional teachings. Jambo empowers his students to access their authentic messages from within, free from societal and cultic constraints.
As an ordained yogi, Jambo conducts ceremonies and teaches tantric meditations and mantras from Tantric Buddhism lineages. (Note: Tantra is about awakening through inclusivity, not sexual practices).
Jambo’s teaching style is embodied, prioritizing the practitioner’s experience to facilitate deep learning. Expect a real-talking, humorous, and informative approach.
