Core Teachers and all Inner Yoga Trust Teachers

Inner Yoga Trust Core Teachers and teachers list

The Inner Yoga Trust currently has three core teachers. They lead the teachers awareness programme, working with assistants who are developing their skills to teach the foundation year and eventually the programme.

We also have three additional tutors qualified to lead foundation courses.

A full list of our qualified class teachers across the UK and Europe is available from the menu to the right.

Core tutor Jenny Beeken Jenny Beeken studied with BKS Iyengar whose teaching is still a great source of inspiration, knowledge and understanding. Subsequent study with Victor Van Kooten and Angela Farmer has given her a deep understanding of the inner body, inner awareness and movement. More recently she has worked with Sophy Hoare and Diane Long to access the teaching of Vanda Scaravelli. This has further developed her understanding of the importance of waking the spine in yoga postures and in life. The emphasis in her teaching is on balance of the inner energies and healing oneself and others through yoga.	Core tutor Pauline Sawyer Pauline Sawyer has practised yoga on an inner level for many years, gaining deep insight and understanding from the body and its link to the mind and spirit through looking at herself in this way. She has made an extensive study of other disciplines. Pauline brings her insight and intuitive awareness into observing and teaching both the asanas and the sacred texts.	Core tutor Sarah Waterfield Sarah Waterfield has been practising yoga since 1991 and teaching since 1999. Yoga is an ideal field for combining her interests in working with the body and mind, Indian philosophy, language and sound and her background in science and building gives her a practical approach. Her own path in Yoga has been one of healing, empowerment and learning to see the wider picture. Through teaching this course she hopes to facilitate others to find their own path in Yoga.

Foundation Course Tutor Dawn Baillie Dawn has developed a subtle and nurturing style that focuses on our individual bodily-awareness with the postures. This awareness: empowers us to recognise our own inner-energy flow; increases our vitality; and brings life to our bodies. Dawn loves to be out in the Scottish mountain countryside and has an enthusiasm for life & living.	Foundation Course Tutor Sue Peggs lives and teaches in Bristol. She has been practising yoga since 1993 and teaching since 1999. Since then she has continued to study with Jenny Beeken and Pauline Sawyer, Brenda Megann, and Sophy Hoare all the while deepening her own practice. In her teaching Sue gives guidance to the body and mind so that students can explore and experience the effects of practising yoga for themselves.	Foundation Course Tutor Bridget Whitehead lives in Wales and has been practising yoga since 1989 and has been teaching since 1999. She has completed both the BWY teaching diploma and the Inner Yoga Trust’s Teachers Awareness Programme. She is incredibly interested in the healing effects of yoga and it’s ability transform and change peoples lives. Reconnecting to the body through asana, breath awareness and meditation empowers us to let go of limiting beliefs, traumas and conditioning that hold us back in every day life.
