Techniques to build strength in your arms, shoulders, chest, abdomen, and back. Apart from the physical benefits inversions increase mental focus, give new insights and promote confidence as those supposedly 'impossible' challenges are met. Learn the tricks and have fun finding new ways to work.

The ancient art and science of yoga is as powerful now as it was thousands of years ago. Unlocking its secrets requires patience, perseverance and intense study. After three decades, Brian continues on his path of exploration and discovery. He teaches directly from his personal experience and studies and runs teacher training courses approved by Yoga Alliance UK, which is dedicated to setting and maintaining high standards of teaching yoga in Britain and Europe. Brian has dedicated much time to teaching the benefits of Thai Massage for teachers and students of yoga. These interests have resulted in his new book 'The Art of Adjusting' written specifically for yoga teachers.

Tutor Veronica Burningham
event fee: £5.00

No need to Book, Just turn up

Information from: Hazel Brown, Organiser   01833 640 194  

Veronica originally trained with the British Wheel of Yoga, for whom she taught a number of Foundation Courses, Continuing Professional Development days on Teaching Yoga to Children and also the post-diploma module of the same name for yoga teachers. Attracted to the Satyananda Yoga tradition of Swami Satyananda and the Bihar School of Yoga, she was lucky enough to undertake a Teacher Training Course in that tradition, culminating with a month in the ashram in India in 2003.

Satyananda Yoga focuses on the whole personality, not just the physical and Veronica believes that the awareness and balance it teaches helps us to deal more effectively with our day-to-day lives.

Veronica can offer half day, full day and two-day courses on various aspects of yoga, including:-
• Conscious Ageing: This course looks at the issues around ageing and how we can live happily and healthily into old age.
• Surya Namaskara and Chandra Namaskar: These are offered as individual days or a full weekend.
• also a monthly meditation course in Middleton-in-Teesdale, usually on the first Wednesday of the month.
