Jenny Beeken
Jenny Beeken originally took a BSc in Physics followed by a Cert.Ed and taught in Secondary schools for five years, practising yoga at this time and teaching yoga to both staff and pupils. In 1979 she left full time teaching to study yoga in India with BKS Iyengar. the study with him then and subsequently in 1981 is still a source of great inspiration, knowledge and understanding. (She took the elementary and junior intermediate certificate). Her more recent teachers are Angela Farmer and Victor Van Kooten from whom she gained a deep understanding of the inner body, inner awareness and movement. Her own extensive practice has deepened this understanding. So while the precision, detail and insight characteristic of Iyengar's teaching is apparent in her own, there is less emphasis on the postures and more on inner awareness. The emphasis in her teaching is on balance of the inner energies and healing oneself and others through yoga |

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. |

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. |
