| SUZANNA DAW B.Sc (Hons) M.C.S.P., M.H.P.C. Holistic Chartered Physiotherapist and Yoga teacher Suzanna qualified as a Physiotherapist in 1994 and has since gained a wide range of experiences to further her professional development. In addition to training received in Therapeutic, Sports and Thai massage, she is also a certified Reiki Master.Her interest in yoga started over 10 years ago, and is now a way of life to which she is devoted. Suzanna studied many different styles of Yoga both in England and India. For the past 5 years her yoga practice has been inspired by the unique wisdom of Vanda Scaravelli whose teachings focus on awakening the spine through releasing with breath and gravity. This intelligent way of working invites a deep sense of rest and lightness to unfold in the body, mind and spirit. She has enjoyed a range of employment experiences, within professional Physiotherapy settings, as an independent holistic practitioner and Yoga teacher. She teaches Anatomy and Physiology to Yoga practitioners, to enable them to understand more deeply the body-mind connection. The aim is to integrate theoretical and experiential knowledge within the spirit of yoga to deepen ones practice. Inspired by her therapeutic background and consistent yoga practice, she shares knowledge of how the body works in a holistic way incorporating practical, visual and creative techniques to facilitate fun and interesting learning. As one starts to understand the body as a whole we see how our thoughts and emotions, actions and words affect our whole being. As Yoga practitioners and especially for teachers it is important for us to have an understanding and a foundation in theoretical knowledge, especially how each different system works and co-ordinates within. This may be then placed aside during our own practises or can be explored with more depth. Discovering how our bodies work enables us to be safe, effective and progressive yoga practitioners and helps invite confidence when teaching others. Suzanna's personal journey is to combine conventional western medical and eastern healing philosophies. She iscommitted to sharing her knowledge and empowering people to make positive choices and conscious changes to their lives. provide holistic, sensitive and inspirational treatments and sessions | |
| DAVID SHIRES The benefits that come from an ongoing practice of yoga are gathered through an ever improving awareness of the body, which gives us the potential to free ourselves from negative, habitual patterns of movement and thought and simply makes us feel betterČ, David says. As individuals, we all approach our yoga in a unique way, and David encourages his students to find their own path through a range of postures, focusing on movement from the core through an awareness of the spine and breath in creative and supportive environment. David completed his teacher training at Natural Bodies and has taught at the centre for several years. He is also a shiatsu and bodywork practitioner and has facilitated on many meditation, yoga, arts/creativity retreats over the past 15 years. David also works on a one-to-one basis with people who wish to explore their practice in more depth. | |
