Virginia Wood Yoga teacher

Virginia has been practicing yoga for over 25 years and qualified as a Teacher of Dynamic yoga with Godfrey Devereux in 2003. She has worked with and studied Yoga Therapy and postural analysis with Doug Keller of Do-in yoga. In the last 5 years she has run Liver detox. retreats using yoga as an essential tool.Her initial training is in Iyengar yoga. Both Astanga, Anusara and Vinyasa flow are also influential in her approach and style. She places particular attention to physical alignment and following the Breath; synchronising, with sensitivity, the two and helping to create an inner stillness, focus and insight through an uninterupted self inquiry. There is particular emphasis placed on the bandhas and their use in moving deeper into the practice and also on the Yamas and the Niyamas both on and off the mat.Virginia is a qualified practioner of Chinese medicine, practicing both acupuncture and chinese herbal medicine since 1988.

First of all, the proffesionalism and expertise of the 3 teachers to be highlighted. They are experts in diverse fields, they have built a program that really helped me to learn useful things about yoga philosophy, practice and anatomy. They also trasmit all this knowledge with passion and a clear methodology. The place is also amazing. Practicing and learning in the nature, in this magical place helped me to connect with myself and disconnect from the noise of the city. This environment was ideal for me to focus on the life and learning experience.. And the last but not the least, the amazing people I met there. When I was loooking for a YTT I had many doubts about how the teachers would be (I really wanted to learn yoga from real experts!) and the people I could met there ( it is 3 intense weeks and it is very important!). Both aspects were amazing, we all became a family, still in touch! I am ready to continue my yoga trip and to become a solid Yoga Teacher.
