Tristrem and Yvonne Carlyon - yoga teachers

 


 Tristrem: Tristrem has been inspired by the spiritual traditions of India for forty years. His main focus is the non-duality (advaita vedanta) of Sri Ramana Maharshi and, more recently, Ekhart Tolle. He studied transpersonal psychology with Ian Gordon Brown, Barbara Somers  and Phyllis Krystal, and is  a fan of Carl Jung and Ken Wilber. For the past decade Tristrem has been studying and practicing various styles of yoga intensely. In 2010 he completed his yoga teacher training with Simon Low's Yoga Academy and is a British Wheel of Yoga accredited teacher and Yoga Alliance registered 200 hour teacher. Tristrem teaches yoga adapted to the individual in the style of T. Krishnamacharya. In his teaching he draws on various styles of bodywork (Thomas Hanna, Moshe Feldenkreis, Qigong), classical yoga asanas, breath work (pranayama), visualisation work (yoga nidra), and meditation. His teaching style is clear, accessible and nurturing.

 Yvonne: Yvonne is a photographer and artist who started teaching yoga in 2000. She offers a gentle flowing Hatha yoga, which can be described as classical-eclectic. The emphasis is movement coordinated with the breath. Her inspiration has been many-fold: Pauline Hall, yoga teacher and mentor inspired her to teach; years of practicing Iyengar yoga gave a deep insight into the mechanics of asana; Jenny Beacon, initiator of Yoga of the Heart, brought many different paths together; Kundalini yoga spiced up the mix, and finally, Simona Hernandez  - Anusara and Vinyasa flow combining modern understanding of the body with ancient yoga principles. Yvonne's intention from her thirty or so years of practice and from her work as a health kinesiologist is to bring harmony between mind and body and vitality to the energy system which will in time allow physical and mental healing to take place.
