Other trainings

I attend numerous yoga workshops and training events every year, but have been most influenced by those taught by the following teachers to whom I am most grateful: John Stirk, Pete Blackaby, Donna Farhi, Gary Carter, Hayley North, Bill Wood, Lisa McRory.

I continue to study Tibetan Buddhist Mahamudra Meditation under the guidance of Maarten Vermasse of Mahasiddha Yoga Group.

I am also deeply thankful to Helen Stephenson of MindfulnessMK for her guidance on mindfulness meditation, and for introducing me to the Insight Meditation sangha of Gaia House, Devon, where I attend regular silent retreats.
