ASHTANGA I've been practicing Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga for 11 years and teaching for 7. My first teacher was Derek Ireland, the hugely influential teacher who brought Ashtanga from India to Europe. My principal teacher since then has been the wonderful Hamish Hendry, who is one of the most highly respected teachers in the country. I studied with him for 2 years before having a family. I assisted Cathy-Louise Broda at Ashtanga Yoga London for 6 months in 2001. From her I learnt to teach Mysore style and adjust all the poses in primary series. I assisted Robin Catto at his morning Mysore class for 2 years at Tri Yoga, London. I have a certificate in anatomy and physiology from the London Massage Institute, a Yoga Therapy Foundation Certificate from the Yoga Therapy Centre and teaching certificates from Radha (at Yoga Plus - 2000) and David Swenson (2001). I have studied in Mysore with Shri K Pattabhi Jois (head of the Ashtanga Yoga Institute) and attended 4 of his London workshops. Over the years I have attended workshops with some of the worlds premiere Ashtanga teachers including; John Scott, David Swenson, Nancy Gilgoff, Michael Gannon, Matthew Sweeny, Lino Miele, Danny Paradise, Shiva Rae, Tias Little, Richard Freeman and Anthony 'Prem' Carlisi. Before moving to Tunbridge Wells from London in 2006 I ran regular classes and beginners courses at Tri Yoga (Ashtanga and Pregnancy), The Life Centre (Pregnancy and Dynamic yoga) and Holmes Place (Ashtanga). I also have a certificate in Thai Yoga massage and have completed two 10 day silent Vipassana meditation retreats. www.ashtangayoga.com www.astangayogalondon.com |
