Tutor: Tara Fraser

BWY DIP, BWY DCT, Advanced Rolfer®

I have been teaching yoga for over 30 years and training teachers for over 18years. My interest is in nurturing the individual skills and talents of the student teacher to develop their own distinctive style and quality in teaching, while honoring and knowing the roots of the practice, thus keeping yoga a living tradition. Although all my previous teacher training courses were run through the British Wheel of Yoga I now teach independently as I wish to emphasise the practical and experiential nature of the yoga transmission over a paper-based planning style.

My own yoga journey has included a broad range of experiences but has been heavily influenced by teachers in the tradition of TKV Desikachar including Sylviane Gianina, David Charlton and Ranju Roy and more recently by my work as a Rolfer and the teaching of Giovanni Felicioni and other teachers in the Scaravelli tradition. But on the way I have learned an appreciation of the potential of the Astanga Vinyasa system and the Iyengar Yoga school from whose teachers I have always gained insight and inspiration.

My work in Rolfing® (a type of soft tissue manipulation primarily concerned with fascia) has increased my ability to read and understand the way bodies move and this work feeds directly into my yoga teaching too.

I opened one of London’s first independent yoga studios, Yoga Junction, in 1999 and closed it last year after moving to Devon to live at a small retreat centre near Tiverton, Ashley Court. I am the author of several best selling books on yoga and mother to 4 nearly grown up children!

I am in the process of reviewing all my teacher training materials with a view to providing access to them online as a resource for students and teacher, but this will be a slow process!
