Together with a deepening understanding of the body in āsana you will embody to understand the philosophy of Yoga for yourself, with study of the Sanskrit yoga texts guided by me, a scholar-practitioner with thirty years' Sanskrit scholarship in Cambridge.
I hold a Master of Philosophy in Sanskrit from Cambridge University from my twelve years of intensive language study there at both undergraduate and post graduate level. I also hold the BWY diploma in teaching yoga and have spent many years working as an independent scholar and a teacher of yoga inspired by Vanda Scaravelli‘s approach.
