 Teachers
- John
Scott is one of the few Astanga teachers worldwide who is fully
qualified to teach by Pattabhi Jois. He has many years of dedicated
practice and teaching behind him and this is clearly demonstrated in
his encouraging and inspired teaching, and breathtaking practice. He
leads workshops in London, Oxford, around UK and the world. On occasion
his wife Lucy assists John, providing very skilled adjustments and instruction.
John & Lucy have now relocated to New Zealand, where they are starting
up a retreat centre. John is still leading workshops worldwide. Great
book, DVD.
- David
Swenson based in USA, leads retreats, also comes regularly to the
UK to lead workshops and weeklong intensives, for students and would-be
teachers. He is a great teacher with a graceful practice and a great
sense of humour. His Astanga Yoga teacher training courses resonate
with a generosity of spirit and down to earth wisdom that can be easily
understood and applied both to the practice and to everyday life. Great
book, tapes, videos
- Danny Paradise, originally from Canada, travels widely, leading workshops
and residentials in exotic locations. He comes annually to Oxford to
lead a 10 day yoga course every July (details through macdonaldreynell@ntlworld.com).
Expect to have fun, relax, enjoy, and work very deeply into your practice
as Danny skillfully takes you through the series.
- Shandor
Remete, originally from Hungary, now based in Australia, travels
the world leading workshops and residentials. Shandor is an extremely
knowledgeable and inspiring teacher. His depth and breadth of knowledge
and experience (Astanga, Iyengar, Ayurveda, Yogasutras, mind/body/spirit/health)
means that the teaching content evolves organically from year to year
yet is always eminently relevant and applicable to any form of Yoga,
physical and psychological health and well-being. His insight, patience,
and teaching skill are unsurpassed.
