Sian
My own teaching style comes from a combination of yoga traditions that I have practiced for over a decade. I took my first teacher training Diploma with Yoga Scotland in 2005. Since then a British Wheel of Yoga Pregnancy Course in 2008 with Judy Cameron, an experienced yoga teacher, trainer and midwife and now run 2 classes for pregnant women. More recently I completed a teacher training course with Paul & Suzee Grilley in Yin yoga.
My regular classes follow a slow vinyasa style of yoga (linking movement with breath). I encourage students to work with mindfulness, integrity and above all to be curious about what is happening to their body, mind and breath. My aim is to create a warm and inclusive environment where everyone is welcome.
I continue to attend regular workshops and training courses by many inspiring teachers from around the world and it is this inspiration that I try to bring into my own classes. For me, yoga offers so many valuable tools to help lead a more balanced life. I hope I can offer this to you too.
Finally, I would like to thank the teachers who I have worked with and have influenced my practice the most: Tara Fraser at Yoga Junction, Srivatsa Ramaswami & Debbie Mills (Vinyasa Krama), and more recently the work of Paul & Suzee Grilley and Sarah Powers (Yin Yoga), Max Strom & Seane Corn (Vinyasa Flow Yoga), Donna Farhi an outstanding teacher & author and lastly the teachers at Jivamukti Yoga in London for their energising and uplifting classes.
