YOGA TEACHER TRAINING 2007 - 2010
Natural Bodies Centre is the first to be dedicated to the unique approach to the yoga in the spirit of Vanda Scaravelli, continuing and further developing the practice and its teaching. The aim is to provide a wide content of appreciation of structural relationships, relevant aspects of Eastern and Western philosophies, given that we are taking yoga into the 21st century.
Vanda Scaravelli began working with yoga over 50 years ago at the age of 40 with BKS Iyengar and was also deeply influenced by Jiddu Krishnamurti and TKV Desikachar. As she developed her practice she passed on her teaching, un-named, to many skilled practitioners and Osteopaths.
Through a deep understanding of anatomy and physiology, movement and breath, teachers can encourage spacial sustained changes in breathing, posture, strength, attitude and mobility.
The Yoga Teacher Training Course aims to teach a variety of aspects of yoga, of teaching practice, living anatomy and physiology, understanding communication in teaching and other related disciplines.
