Sian (she/her)
I've been teaching yoga full time since 2007 first in Scotland where I grew up and lived for most of my adult life. For the last 8 years I've been living in what is now called Vancouver, British Columbia. I've been very fortunate to learn from many teachers both internationally and locally. My practice + teaching continues to evolve as I continue to learn. When I teach, I aim to create space where we can connect, move, breathe, laugh, sigh... and do what you need in order to develop your own practice.
I offer you a practice rooted in ancient yoga traditions that is sustainable and will support you through life not just for the next few months. I want you to feel strong and resilient and find ways to help with the challenges of modern life. If you join Zoom classes you might be greeted by Frank our elderly cat who's favourite things right now are brushing, eating chicken and napping! |
TEACHING CERTIFICATES
I am eternally grateful to the teachers who have influenced my practice and teaching the most: Donna Farhi, Tara Fraser at Yoga Junction, London; Pete Blackaby in Brighton and recently in Canada, Nicole Marcia (Trauma Informed Yoga) and Lisa Montesi, Vancouver, BC.
Over the last several years I have dived into the world of natural movement and biomechanics. I've spent time learning from Katy Bowman (Nutritious Movement), Brea Johnson (Heart + Bones Yoga) and Cecily Milne (Detour Method) all have given me such valuable insights and introductions into the movement world which you'll see in the way I teach group classes.
I am forever a student on this path.
