I have been teaching in Manchester since 2001, when I relocated from
Madrid to set up Yogaspace, a studio in Manchester and subsequently, Manchester
Yoga Shala, a yoga collective.
My life is firmly rooted in the classical 8 limbed path of Patanjali's
Yoga Sutras which present yoga as a way of life, honouring the cultivation
of health, harmony and eventually transcendence.
I have been very fortunate to have studied with many inspirational teachers
in the West, most influentially, Donna Farhi, whose work continues to
enliven and inform my practice, and I regularly visit India to reconnect
to the source of the classical teachings.
My classes work primarily to liberate the breath thus optimising health
on all levels. This is done through integration of breath with gentle
vinyasa (sequences), supported restorative postures, pranayama (breathing
exercises) and Mantra(sound). I have a strong interest in the therapeutic
applications of yoga and combine general classes with one to one sessions
as well as working with specific organisations to bring yoga to those
who may not otherwise have exposure to it. I believe that yoga should
be accessible to all who wish to re capture the "wholeness"
of their life and welcome students of all ages and physical ability.
I will be on sabbatical in India from Sept2009-March 2010. Gaby Porter
will be taking on my classes until further notice. If you would like to
study with me I will be teaching in West Bengal in November (see janecraggs.co.uk
for details). I wish all of my students much love and contentment over
the coming months and look forward to seeing you again next year!! Hari
Om Tat Sat.
