My Teachers

I trained with an incredible lady called Ruth White. She was a senior Iyengar teacher who left the school to start her own teacher training course, and although she remains very loyal to the Iyengar method, she will often bring in teachers and trainers from different yoga background's. It's through that training I discovered the work of Vanda Scaraveli (as taught by Gary Carter) and a love of feet as Ruth's husband John (who teaches the philosophy classes) makes shoes. I still use his morning foot massage to this day.

On moving to London I discovered Anna Ashby and have been attending her weekly classes ever since...that was 7 years ago...If you are ever in London stop by Triyoga and try a class with Anna. She doesn't teach a fixed method (her influences are varied) and it's this approach that has given me the tools to learn to respond intelligently to my current needs rather then developing any fixed 'style'. Anna has taught me to question. Invaluable.

Restorative Teacher Training with Anna Ashby










I completed this Teacher Training with Anna Ashby and Chris Swain last year and it was FANTASTIC! If you are a yoga teacher looking to explore the restorative practice then I would highly recommend this course.

Heres the blurb:
This unique 36 hour teacher training programme focuses on the practice, art and teaching of restorative yoga. Each intensive weekend offers a retreat-like atmosphere which includes practice, study and learning of restorative asana, the anatomy and physiology of restorative yoga, as well as how to sequence and teach a restorative yoga class. Particular emphasis is given to assisting and adjusting the postures to suit individual needs.

This training is designed for teachers and includes ample time for exploring, understanding and practicing adjusting the postures. To participate in this training, you should have successfully completed, or currently be attending a Level 1 Yoga Teacher Training programme.

The weekends will include includes:
- restorative yoga practice, journaling and discussion
- the art of teaching restorative yoga, including environment, intention, breath, sequencing and assisting
- anatomy and physiology of restorative yoga

The restorative yoga practice sessions and art of teaching sessions will be lead by Anna Ashby, a leading triyoga teacher and senior faculty member of the triyoga teacher training programme, while Chris Swain, the anatomy and physiology teacher for the triyoga’s teacher training programme, will teach the physiology of the nervous system, breathing, and the anatomy of the six key restorative postures.
