My Yoga Teacher Training took place 2001-2003 in an apprenticeship style programme over 2 Years at the West London Yoga Shala under the tutelage of Viryam Robertson, who trained with BKS Iyengar and Zandor Remete. The training included a good grounding in Iyengar, Ashtanga and Shadow styles of Yoga. The extensive training time combined with my experience as a Holistic Shiatsu practitioner and teacher of Qi Gong has been the bedrock of my unique approach to helping people to increase the quality of life through Yogic exercise. I've also lived in india and South America studying movement arts and work as a film actor, both in the UK, Europe and India. My mother tongue is English and I'm fluent in Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese and am learning Hindi.
My specialisations include teaching Yoga for older adults, advanced Vinyasa classes with a focus on inversions, and Restorative Yin Yoga using the practice and principles of Qi Gong in Yin Yoga to dramatically increase the healing potential of this gentle approach to Yoga.
Yoga has vast potential as a healing art, and I bring many years of experience as a teacher of Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology along with the principles of Oriental medicine and 5 Element Theory.
