Overview

Thank you for dropping by to my page here at YAP.  My name is Anthea and I am founder and principal yoga teacher and yoga therapist at Yoga Healing Glasgow.

I began teaching Yoga in 2005 after 15 years as a Holistic Therapist. 

I trained under my teacher June Mitchell at CYS in in 2004, before my post graduate training in Mysore in India with Pattabhi Jois for 9 months. 

Whilst in Mysore I studied other short yoga and therapy courses, such as, pranayama, meditation techniques and ayurveda therapies with local ayurvedic doctors.

I then continued my post graduate training in others yoga practices, such as Ayurveda, Sivananda and Satyananda Yoga in Kerela.

My last month of post graduate training was spent with Dr Ganesh at Prana Nature Cure in Pondicherry, India, where I observed yoga therapy applications being applied and recorde the results. 

I was a freelance yoga teacher from 2005-2008 before opening Yoga Healing Glasgow, and since then have continued in my own personal development in areas such as yin yoga, vinyasa yoga, teen yoga, satyananda yoga and other styles, as well as complimentary practices such as counselling skills, meditation and mindfulness. 

In 2019 I ran my first 200 hours Yoga Teacher Training Course with my team at Yoga Healing Glasgow. 

After two years of training I qualified as a Yoga Therapist in January 2023 with The Yoga Therapy Institute in Amsterdam, the first Yoga Therapy training programme in Europe accredited by The International Association of Yoga Therapists deepening my therapy training and my strengths in working as a therapist.  

I continue to teach classes in the west-end of Glasgow as well as online classes for the Yoga Healing Glasgow community as well as working privately with clients implementing all my skills.

    I’ve been attending face to face and online sessions with Anthea at Yoga Healing for over 5 years and will always be grateful for her efforts and unflagging support as I developed from a total novice to where I now regard yoga as an essential part of my life. Anthea's classes were an essential element of my physical and mental well being throughout the pandemic and will continue to be so into the future. Her classes create a positive and nurturing atmosphere for all levels and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

    I have been attending Anthea's Yoga Healing classes for several months now and they are excellent. Each one of the online classes is slightly different but the outcome for me is always the same. I feel stronger, more flexible, energised and stress free.

    I have been attending Yoga Healing with Anthea for many years, learning new things every day. However when lockdown came classes were, obviously , suspended. Within weeks, Anthea had set up an online/zoom platform and in all honesty it was a lifeline through the whole first year , and beyond, of this whole pandemic. Anthea set up a wonderful timetable with yoga for all levels and meditation classes. The times suited just about everyone and we built, through Anthea, a wonderful community that kept each other going, remotely, through the darkest and brightest days of the last two years. It was like an anchor in my week and I believe in fellow classmates lives as well. Anthea has empathy, humour, knowledge and patience in abundance and I am so pleased to have her as a mentor and friend. I cannot recommend her or Yoga Healing Institute enough. Namaste

    I highly recommend this fantastic studio as their online classes helped to support me through lockdown and really suit my needs now some normality is returning. Yoga Healing has varied classes which will suit your ability or preference, skilled instructors and a friendly atmosphere in class. The instruction and support that I have received has allowed me to progress my Yoga practice and stretched what I believe I can achieve.
