Ashtanga Yoga in Ipswich
I have been practising yoga since about 1997, beginning with Sivananda Yoga and completing their Teacher Training Course in Kerala in 2004 and teaching classes from this point. Since then my practice has evolved and I am now completley hooked on the dynamic practice of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. For me this is the most cohesive and powerful form of yoga, not just on a physical level but the way that it transpires into the everyday. The physical practice uncurls on the mat as a moving meditation allowing you the time to just be with the breath in a totally absorbing way, allowing the mind to calm of the everyday chatter. I am influenced and dedicated to my teachers John & Lucy Scott who have taught me Ashtanga Yoga in it's pure form, with the correct method and count, as learnt from their Guru Sri K Pattabhi Jois (Guruji) who sadly recently passed away. I have completed John & Lucy's 200 hour Teacher Training Course recognised by Yoga Alliance. In addition to this I have completed a 40 hour training course with David Swenson and last year spent a month in Mysore the home of Ashtanga studying under the guidance of Sharath and Saraswati the teaching family of Guruji, aswell as attending other workshops with senior Ashtanga teachers.
