Hi, I am Becky. I am a mother, a talker, a thinker, an occasional sulker, and a shake-your-booty-er. I have been a student and teacher of yoga for over 10 years, and I love to share what I am learning.
The practice of yoga has changed my life. It heals me every day. I love to share the wisdom of the practice, and I really love that you don’t have to believe a word I say. There is truth in the practice itself and anyone who puts it to work will feel it for themselves.
The path that I travel is only one of many, for yoga is a broad and ancient subject, and I can only share what I have come to learn myself. I honour my teachers deeply, for without their blessing in my life I would not be able to share! My dear beloved Mugs McConnell, last disciple of Yogiraj Hari Dickman, who carries on in her work the traditions of many lineages. My mother, Lorraine, a physiotherapist of 45 years who has taught me everything I know about anatomy, physiology and functional movement. And most recently, I am blessed to study under the tutelage of Yogacharya Dr. Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani, who carries the esteemed lineage of the Astanga Rishiculture practices encoded by his father, Dr. Swami Gitananda Giri.
So, it seems important to define my teaching style. What can you expect in how I share yoga?
- Yoga as a mind/body/spirit practice first and foremost.
- Building relationships between students and teacher based upon mutual standing and respect.
- Movement with a focus on accessibility, personal alignment and self-awareness to heal and strengthen the body, exploring many styles of yoga to strive for physical balance to be restored and maintained.
- Meditation to learn how to quiet the waters of the mind.
- Breath work to purify and open the healing channels of the energetic body.
- Yoga philosophy as an foundation for true yogic understanding of the self and others.
I truly love the path I have chosen and if, for a time, we travel together on the journey to well-being, I will be honoured to do so.
Namaste, Becky
