This weekend is open to all, you can come as a total beginner or as a seasoned yogi. Everything is adaptable to work for you if you are recovering from injury or working with a restriction or in peak health. The material I share may be of use to you in developing a personal practice, understanding your own body better or for developing your work if you are a body-worker, dancer, musician, martial arts practitioner, yoga or movement teacher. It can often be counted as CPD for yoga teachers, check with your professional membership organisation.
Yoga has been with me since childhood. I trained professionally as a dancer and took a degree in performing arts. More fascinated by the ‘felt sense’ of the body than the look of it, I soon discovered that, for me, rehearsals were more interesting than performance. I returned to yoga with considerable dedication and studied in several different traditions, especially the therapeutic approach of TKV Desikachar.
In 1999 I opened Yoga Junction studio in London, one of the few specialised yoga spaces in the capital at the time. I have been teaching yoga for over 30 years now and am the author several books that encourage self-practice, including ‘Yoga for You’ and ‘The Easy Yoga Workbook’.
I discovered Rolfing through yoga (Ida Rolf did yoga too!) while taking classes with Giovanni Felicioni. Rolfing proved to be the most effective and permanently transforming bodywork I have ever encountered. My posture, strength, mental state and yoga asana changed markedly as I progressed through the 10 sessions.
Completely inspired and very curious to know more, I undertook the Rolfing practitioner training in London and Munich. To further refine my touch skills I studied Equine Structural Integration with Joseph Freeman. Connection with horses must be genuine and there is not much margin for error, they are great teachers. In spring 2024 I qualified as an Advanced Rolfer with the European Rolfing Association.
All my work, with animals and with people, now revolves around touch and movement as a means to develop an innate sense of self and authentic connection with the wider world. I have a particular interest in using Rolfing to assist the recovery from cancer treatments including surgery, radiotherapy, hormone and chemotherapy.
I have 4 children and live in Devon with my partner, Yoga teacher, Nigel Jones.
