I have been practicing and teaching Yoga for more than 35 years, mainly for the fun of it and to keep my body flexible enough to maintain a regular meditation practice. I now consider my Yoga
practice to be very much a spiritual practice in it's own right. Although I originally trained and taught in the Iyengar system, I
went through a few years of experimenting with other styles of Yoga. For the last 7 years I have been particularly interested in the work
of Vanda Scaravelli and I am currently doing a teacher training course based upon her ideas.
This subtle way of working is an individual experiment that starts from who and where we are. We allow the body-mind to unfold and
expand as a joyful living process without any unnecessary forcing. However, this is not a ‘soft’ or passive method. Through the
application of an alert watchfulness and mindful ‘undoing’, we can begin to unravel all our ‘knots’ and experience a more "sensitive
articulation of individual consciousness”. In this method we use gravity, breath and the wave of the breath to begin to ‘awaken’ the
spine and the body.
