Transform Your Yoga Journey
it's all in you ...
The teacher’s learning
“What was your yoga journey, which path did you take,… your teaching is different“
I have often heard this from perspective of student and those curious to teach…
Yoga a practice, a learning, a connection.
Passed down from time honoured yogis, nadis, gurus, practitioners, across lands, travelled the seas, reached for from book shelves, offered in households, ashrams, studios, living rooms.
Rippled out in every direction; shared, digested, re-processed, explored. From the traditional, to the unconventional. The disciplines styles of practice endlessly available; hatha, vinyasa, bikram, rocket, embodied, somatic. And it keeps growing, spreading, re-forming, adapting, fusing each teacher bringing there experience energy language, there is a Yoga for everyone.
Always evolving but the root respected; the same loving kindness, connect, returning to the mat the breath, the body, the mind.
My journey as a teacher; the growing, the study, the learning, the sharing. I appreciated the nuance of what my body needed not just one type, more than sun salutations, more than gentle flows, more than just strength.
Growing up my movement had been dance and gymnastics.
Whilst qualifying in Body Massage the anatomy and physiology content switched on and developed respect of we are more than the surface, feels and finds.
When I chose to learn to teach yoga, I wanted to find teachers who explored creative expression through classes enjoying the fluidity, grace sequencing but also content heavy on anatomy and physiology. So much of my own practice had been for recovery, training and finding awareness, confidence, understanding for managing pain.
My teachers Meghan Currie, Erin Kelly, Steph Gongora and Bianca Scalise.
I initially planned to study with the mainstream schools. However something was saying wait…Having studied with Meghan for five years I was hooked and it wanted to learn more like this. I found previous students of hers practiced with them before investing, and what gems of thoroughness and caring encouragement I found.
I went on to study and qualify as a yoga teacher with Authentic Movements 200hr in 2022,
I long hauled it deep diving into all the pearls they had to offer deepening my practice time with the information the lessons exploring.
Then I continued study with same school 300hr completing in 2023.
Still learining growing and loving it all the way. So far I have since completed teacher trainings in Breathwork, Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Meditation, Somatics and Pilates Mat.
I am registered with Yoga Alliance.
In this current vibration of aesthetics, simulation putting in boxes, there is always going to be noise of what is, what is not, who’s is best, most, how it should be!
I suggest maybe we remember from where it came. The origin, the sharing, the gratitude for the teachers, and the teacher’s teacher’s. Always learning always growing everyone with a different story a different voice. For this why should it stay the same, be the same.
No two leaves are indentical and what good would that be for a beautiful tree!
Enjoy the perspective being challenged take in the view and all the feels you find. This is your journey enjoy the path you find.
