After 21 years of practicing yoga I eventually and reluctantly decided to go for Ashtanga Teacher Training especially as it was taking part in my home town of Glastonbury. I studied under Jane Piddington and Brian Cooper.
I teach a mix of Yang (Ashtanga) and Yin - hence the name YangYinYoga. The mix could be 50/50 or 70/30.
My attendees are always a mix of beginners, experienced yogis and other teachers.
I endeavour to train people to practice effortless effort and most classes have a fun element in the sense of allowing humour rather than. The seriousness is making sure postures are taken correctly and each to each ones ability and to a means of being able to move forward or evolve.
Sometimes there is music and some of that time it might be Snatum Kaur and other times Metallica - depending on the perceived mood of the class as well as other factors.
Classes run all the time - not only on a full moon but also in school holidays!!
