  • Why Nicaragua for Yoga Teacher Training?

    Why Nicaragua for Yoga Teacher Training?

    In January, I packed a bag and headed west in search of a contrast to Incredible India.  My mission: to find a space to set up my very own Yoga Teacher Training.  First destination was to be Nicaragua, a small country, just above Costa Rica and not a million miles from the Panama Canal.  When […]

    Teaching yoga on a surf camp in Nicaragua……whatever next?

    My mum says I live in a bubble.  I have debated this with her at length on several occasions but for now, let’s say she’s right.  That means that the current bubble is Los Clavos Surf Camp, in the north of Nicaragua. I came to Nicaragua in search of a place to set up my […]

    “Highlights of the week included meditation on the beach ….”

    In April, Kelsey did the Yoga Intensive Week me at Los Clavos Surf Camp, Nicaragua. I got her to answer a few questions about the week. How much did you know about Ashtanga Yoga before you arrived in Nicaragua? I had only practised Ashtanga Yoga one time before I went to Nicaragua.  In a nut […]

  • Teaching yoga in Nicaragua…a new commentary for Ashtanga???

    Teaching yoga in Nicaragua…a new commentary for Ashtanga???

    As many of you know, before Nicaragua, I taught Anatomy and Alignment for 2 years on the Ashtanga Yoga TTC in Goa. I immersed myself into teaching the Skeletal Muscular System and was able to bring a very technical approach to how the Primary Series of Ashtanga Yoga was taught, encouraging students to be mindful […]

    Ashtanga Yoga, Nicaragua….What’s In A Name??

    I just finished hosting an Ashtanga Yoga Retreat here in Nicaragua titled An Exploration of Stretch and Strength.  It was a huge success and I believe that my guests left with a whole new passion for Ashtanga Yoga that they hadn’t necessarily arrived with.  I suppose it is fair to say that if I can […]

  • My very first Ashtanga Yoga student in Nicaragua!!
