Yin and Vinyasa Flow Yoga with Jude Medhurst

Jude has been practising yoga and meditation for over thirteen years and has been teaching for eight years. Over the years she has worked with, been inspired and influenced by many wonderful teachers whose knowledge and teachings have enriched her practice - Erich Schiffman, Sharon Gannon and David Life, Shiva Rea and, currently, Sarah Powers.
 

She completed a Teacher Training Course with the Bihar School of Yoga (Satyananda Yoga) under the direction of Swami Vedantananda and assessed by Swami Pragyamurti, the Principal of the School. This course is recognised by and is accredited with the British Wheel of Yoga.

The yoga Jude teaches is a mix of the Yin style (focusing on the gently held postures that work on the connective tissue of the hips, pelvis and lower spine) and the stronger Yang practise that emphasizes muscular movement and contraction.

The combining of the two helps to create a balanced practice "on the mat" which can be helpful in balancing our life "off the mat". There is much emphasis on the flow of the breath and how we allow the breath to be the initiator for the movement of the body.

The sessions also include pranayama, relaxation and visualisation practices plus nada yoga and meditation.

2009: June 29th - July 6th

Susannah is a fully qualified British Wheel of Yoga teacher and has been practising yoga since childhood.

Her teaching style is intuitive and creative, drawing on her main influences of Hatha Yoga, Viniyoga and Astanga Yoga. Her dance background also brings into play a focus on alignment.

Susannah’s classes have a meditative quality and work on the principles of ‘Sthira and Sukham’ - (form and experience, strength and softness). So although her classes can be quite demanding they are also deeply relaxing. Her years of dancing have given Susannah an invaluable knowledge of the body, which enhances her ability to teach yoga. In addition she has studied both holistic massage and herbalism - and therefore has a very broad and balanced view of the body.

For Susannah yoga is about breath and bringing a sense of space and freedom to the body. She teaches Hatha Yoga, inspired by the Viniyoga System with its one-to-one approach, with an emphasis on connecting the breath and movement, enabling her students to work with their bodies, get to know them and to take responsibility for their personal well-being.

She applies this approach to all her classes where she ensures that adjustments and modifications are made for individual students - after all every body is different

Susannah studied yoga as a child and grew up within the yogic philosophy.

Hatha Yoga with Jyoti Pai

Jyoti Pai is 33, being half Indian she travelled to India on many occasions. Her yearning to gain insight into her spiritual yoga routes came to a head at 23, when Jyoti having discovered the joys of yoga moved to Kerala in South India for five years to train and then teach yoga classes daily

Having since trained with various inspiring yoga teachers from around the world, Jyoti’s teaching style is an eclectic mix in a progressive style as she continues to learn different styles and yoga insights from courses in India, Egypt, Turkey, and San Francisco.

Vinyasa Hatha Yoga with Simona Hernandez

I have studied Classical ballet for 18 years. At the end of my training I was an assistant ballet teacher in many classes, teaching students from 2 1/2 years to Elementary level. My professional training is in Psychology. I worked as an Assistant and Research Psychologist for 5 years. It was this combination of dance and psychology training that led me to become interested in Dance Movement and Psychotherapy. I completed a foundation course in this area approximately 8 years ago.

Due to a whiplash injury and stress from my Psychology job I started practising yoga in November 1997. I will never forget that feeling after my very first class. It was as though the world had been literally lifted off my shoulders and for the first time in a very long time I had a real sense of who I was. Within a year I trained as a Sivananda teacher and have since continued to learn about the many different aspects and styles of yoga through self practice and attending workshops and teachers training programmes. While living in Sydney I had the opportunity to attend many workshops and complete another teachers training course.

The style of yoga I teach could be described as a Vinyasa Hatha Yoga. I focus very much on the flow of the breath and the flow of that breath as an initiator for the movement. As a result of my dancing and movement therapy training I became aware of how inextricably the mind and body are linked. As a result I try to encourage a real softness in the body throughout the practice. My classes focus on chanting, pranayama, asanas and relaxation.

I encourage a continuous flow from one asana to the next linked by the breath and usually draw on some aspects of yoga philosophy during the physical practice of yoga. I have many different teachers I look to for inspiration - Vanda Scaravelli, Shiva Rea, Sharon and David from Jivamukti Yoga, Swami Sivananda, Desikachar and BKS Iyengar.

2009 : August 3rd - 10th

Flowing Yoga with Ken Eyerman

Ken Eyerman has 30 years experience with Yoga & Bodywork, and is a trained practitioner of the Feldenkrais Method. He will bring his wealth of learning to this weeks' unique blend of dynamic flowing yoga with gentle inner sensing Feldenkrais movement awareness lessons. Ken's intuitive and spontaneous, hands-on approach places an emphasis on using the breath, an awareness of your inner process and how to use your body efficiently. This combination of approaches will ease you into the postures. The workshop is suitable for all levels and consists of two classes a day. The morning class will be dynamic and flowing, based around the Astanga form, with the afternoons improvised, developmental and restorative, bringing in the vast body of knowledge of the Feldenkrais Method.

Ken Eyerman is an American based in London since 1980. His main Yoga influences are Derek Ireland, an inspiring astanga teacher, and Angela Farmer, an early student of Iyengar. He attended his first London Feldenkrais training in 1987 after the publication of his book 'Massage'.

Since this time Ken has developed his own style of teaching, bridging the space between the dynamic power of Astanga and the gentle understated, spiralling Feldenkrais movements. Ken teaches his unique Yoga with Awareness Holidays internationally.

right: on the roof of the yoga hotel in Dahab!

Feldenkrais

The developmental movement technique, The Feldenkrais Method, has been Ken's lifelong study, especially in how it relates and is complementary to yoga, through the awareness of movement and being attentive to detail. For Ken, The Feldenkrais Method forms the bridge between hands-on healing, touch and the spontaneity of life as a dance. The Feldenkrais Method named after its originator, Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, is an educational system that uses gentle movement and directed attention to improve posture and human functioning. One can increase the ease and range of motion, improve flexibility and rediscover the natural capacity for efficient movement.

"I can help people to think about their body, how it breathes and moves, how the structure connects, to develop a level of awareness..... so they are not only powering away at stretching but also learning to feel and think their way to a stronger more supple body. A goal being to get into the imagination, to find a more subtle approach, to excite the feelings as well as to power the muscles" Ken Eyerman (c)

Julie, who visited Grenadine Lodge last year, has been practising Yoga since 1993 and teaching since 1996.

She came to Yoga as a result of a stressful London lifestyle, and felt its benefits immediately after her first ever class

"I left feeling relaxed and yet energised at the same time. I felt a deep connection not only to my own physicality, but to all life, the planet and beyond. Although I had never experienced this before, it somehow felt familiar, as if I had ‘come home’".

Julie completed her Teacher Training with the British Wheel of Yoga in 1998. She has worked with Donna Farhi, Sarah Powers, Peter Blackaby, Nancy Ford-Kohne, and Fiona Ashdown and also studied Sivananda, Iyengar, Viniyoga and Breath-work.

2009: August 24th - 31st

I received my BA honours in Indian religion and Hindi from The School of Oriental and African Studies and went on to acquire postgraduate knowledge of medieval Hindi and Indian classical music.

I have now been practising yoga for 10 years, during which time I have studied Iyengar, Astanga, Sivananda, and Shadow Yoga.

My practice and teaching is mostly inspired by the Shadow school of yoga's work on internal energies, Astanga's use of movement within the posture and Iyengar's fine attention to alignment.

Since an on going lower back injury reached it's pinnacle at the end of last year, and left me unable to walk for a MONTH! I have changed my way of working and now place considerable emphasis on posture through core strength and lower abdominals which have become my lifesaver and have near enough corrected what I found out to be SPONDILO LYSTHESIS (my spine was curving dramatically to the left due to a fracture in the spine and over compensated to the right).

On this holiday we will be practising a mixture of Dynamic Yoga and Hatha Yoga - classes are suitable for all levels.

Hatha Yoga with Ailon Freedman:

Ailon Free is a highly experienced yoga teacher with over 15 years professional experience. He was a Yoga model and expert for The Times for several years, has appeared on BBC radio and ITV to speak about yoga and has taught yoga to England footballers and cricketers for several years. Ailon's connection to yoga deepened after a near-fatal car accident in 1988, when he was able to use yoga to dramatically speed up his healing process-much to the amazement of his medical team.

Trained initially in Iyengar yoga, Ailon has explored most other styles of yoga and is happy teaching Iyengar, Scaravelli, Dynamic, Partner  and Remedial Yoga  as well as Meditation, depending on the needs of the student. Ailon is also a qualified masseur  and Reiki healer as well as an African Drum teacher.

During this week we will explore two or three styles of yoga and see how they all lead us to a similar place -a connection with ourselves and our inner vitality. We will explore postures, breathing and visualisation as well as the interplay between movement and stillness.

The goal of the week will be to learn new tools and techniques to help us take care of our physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. The week in Dalyan is suitable for complete beginners as well as more experienced practitioners 

For the record, Ailon is also well known for his comic alter-ego Trev the Yogic Builder - the world's first chain-smoking yoga guru. So- if you want a teacher who doesn't take their yoga too seriously - you're in the right place.

Margaret Rawlinson has been teaching yoga for over 20 years and is firmly grounded in the precision and depth of Iyengar yoga.

She has studied with BKS Iyengar over the years and also brings the richness of her extensive experience in other fields - especially Chinese Medicine, which she has been successfully practising for 6 years. She has also worked and studied in China in both acupuncture and Tui Na (Chinese osteopathy).

Margaret believes we can find self-healing for the mind, body and spirit in the complete yoga practice which incorporates asanas, pranayama and meditation.

The classes will allow you to find new insights and openings but joyfully and with a sense of fun.

Lucy Aldridge qualified as an Iyengar teacher in 1997 and has been teaching ever since. She feels that she has "the best job in the world"

As an Iyengar teacher she has learnt asana as an art and shares this knowledge with her students." Yoga has helped me deal with many life changes and challenges. Coming to my mat each day brings me back to my centre and who I really am"

Lucy is a qualified junior intermediate Iyengar teacher and is one of the youngest in the U.K., she teaches courses and classes in the U.K. and abroad. Her workshops are designed towards the understanding of asana and developing the confidence to maintain an evolving self practice.

Hatha Scaravelli Yoga with Marc Woolford

Marc Woolford's unusual but deeply effective approach to yoga is founded on the teachings of Vanda Scaravelli.

Time is given to exploring the relationships between the forces of gravity operating through the body and the action of the breath. The postures can then develop from these relationships with a glorious sense of expanding out from the core of the body - 'undoing' and elongating the spine. Surprisingly challenging but suitable for all.

Marc has been dedicated to this approach to yoga since 1994, working exclusively with other Scaravelli inspired teachers such as Pete Blackaby, John Stirk, Diane Long and Sophy Hoare and runs regular workshops and weekends around the UK as well as in India, France and the States.

He is known for his infectious enthusiasm for the work, and through his deep understanding of the nature of movement, has developed a reputation for helping transform people's practise.

He is also very clear that yoga practise is a very personal journey, and is keen to make sure that everyone feels free to work at their own level and pace.
