About this Retreat
Helen (registered with the YTT as yoga elder) is a nomadic teacher inspired by the teachings and students of Vanda Scaravelli with Elizabeth Pauncz (one of Vanda’s students) as her mentor and guide. Helen also offers training’s in Chavutti Thirumal (massage by foot pressure) which has a strong influence on her teaching style.
Goa has been Helen’s second home for many years, as well as enjoying leading yoga seminars, teacher training’s and intensives in Europe, India and the USA. She is passionate about spontaneous, intuitive movement in the form of waves and spirals and includes her love of improvisational movement with the influence of GAGA and the 5 Rhythms into her teaching. Healthy movement for those going through Menopause is one of her interests at present and embodying the idea that our body improves with age!
Helen’s aim is to invite a lightness of being and joy to our movement practice and to encourage others to listen and respond to natural inner impulses. Scaravelli-inspired yoga has no methods or set sequences. This approach encourages the practitioner to create a strong relationship to the ground, the breath and to awakening the spine. The practice is playful and helps the mobilisation of joints and the general well being of nervous system.
Rupert (registered with the YTT as a yoga elder), teaches Yoga, Qigong and Kung Fu and is a long term practitioner of Shamanic Healing in the Toltec tradition. He facilitates movement and meditation retreats and co-created the Shala 142 retreat space in Goa dedicated to music and the healing arts. He also combines body-work with sound vibration for individuals and also in groups. In addition to a personal teaching practice, he offers yoga training with the Yoga Health Mandala.
Steve is a sports therapist specialising in musco-skeletal pain and dysfunction plus the correction of dysfunctional movement patterns. Before this he has been a martial arts instructor, personal trainer, yoga and anatomy teacher.
In his work Steve aims to ease pain and discomfort in the body by alleviating the root cause of the issue and to give people the tools to do this for themselves.
