Tutor Bio
Gary is a well known, highly respected teacher of Yoga with over 25 years of experience in movement physical training, anatomical study and bodywork practices.. He has lectured extensively on the anatomy of Yoga in the UK, Europe and America. He founded Natural Bodies movement & education, dedicated to teaching, training and encouraging kinaesthetic awareness, ease of movement and efficient body use. Gary's yoga background is based on the work and approach of Vanda Scaravelli which was not so much about executing postures but cultivating the conditions that allow the body’s natural intelligence to awaken.
Aims of the Day
