- About me
I was very fortunate to start learning yoga seriously with Sarah Ryan and took to heart the teachings of 'viniyoga' as it was termed then. I currently teach 2 classes in Bexhill in Sussex on Wednesday and Thursday evenings and have been teaching since April 2006. The Sadhana Mala Diploma course (again very 'viniyoga' orientated) has proved excellent in providing a sure step by step foundation for teaching experience, with lots of practice and guidance, so that teaching hs proved a positive, if sometimes scary, experience.
By keeping to and following this approach to yoga, I adapt the postures to suit all abilities of those who attend, from beginners to elderly to young adults. Classes include an element of 5 - 10 mins pranayama from the first few weeks. I enjoy using the Yoga Sutras as an inspiration and link modern yoga to its roots by using occasional appropriate sanskrit words within my dialogue during the class according to that week's focus. With Sarah Ryan as my 121 teacher, I am deepening my understanding of chanting, observation and the Bhagavad Gita.
