Yoga Workshops At Nazerene Hall
Sarah Hatcher Andrea Lutz Rose Ann Mckean What do all these instructors have in common? They take the time to put on Yoga Workshops at Yoga Rose at the Nazarene Hall in Blantyre! We are so very fortunate to be able to run workshops with these ladies taking the lead. Our most recent May workshop with Sarah was a real hit with all the attendees. She challenged us to focus more and be mindful in our practise. She helped us get back to basics to improve our understanding of working with bandhas. This helped us to improve our Sun Salutations and asanas (postures), no longer were we going through the motions, what a difference it made! Sarah Hatcher is a well-known Yogi throughout Scotland and is an accomplished student of the founder of Ashtanga Yoga, Shri K Pattabhi Jois, as well as his grandson R Sharath. She also studied under the internationally recognised, David Garrigues, Dena Kingsberg and Christine Hoar. Originally from the United States, we are very lucky to have Sarah come to us and share her expansive knowledge and expertise of Yoga. Before the birth of Yoga Rose, Rose Ann travelled to Edinburgh in order to learn from Sarah, and still continues to attend classes there. They share a passion for Yoga and teaching classes is more than simply going through the motions, it is a way of life. Sarah knows Rose Ann as a student and as an instructor and has supported Rose Ann’s Yoga practise. It is because of Sarah’s help and mentoring, we at Yoga Rose are beginning to build a Yoga community in Blantyre.
We hold a variety of different workshops and retreats at Yoga Rose, as we find that different Yogi offer different things, even though they are all teaching Ashtanga Yoga. Students can connect with certain teachers in different ways and respond differently to different teaching styles. Andrea Lutz is well known throughout Europe and here at Yoga Rose, we were fortunate enough to be the first to host her here in Scotland. Andrea is the director and founder of Ashtanga Studio Berlin, and has been practising Yoga since 1986, and has been practising Ashtanga Yoga since 1997. Andrea has been by certified Manju P. Jois (the son of founder Shri K Pattabhi Jois) to teach the system of Ashtanga Yoga Andrea came all the way from Berlin in April of this year and gave us a fantastic workshop over the 3 days she was here! All of our students learned so much from her different style of teaching, we snapped her up straight away for her to join us again in April 2020! We will let you know when we are taking bookings for her April workshop, you’ll need to be quick before the spaces get filled! Passion is at the heart of all of our Yoga Rose workshops and day to day classes. We are more than a business and are committed to sharing our love and knowledge of Yoga with the people of Blantyre. Please do join us for one of our upcoming workshops, or one of our many classes soon, we would love to have you!
