The Yoga classes are given by Andrea Sissons who has practised yoga for 20 years, my first teacher being Wendy Blomkamp, who taught Hatha Yoga, in Kenilworth, a very special woman and gifted teacher. Whist living in England I took classes with Carrie Tuke (a dear friend and teacher), a very sensitive and skilled instructor who combined yoga as a practise and therapy. On returning to Cape Town I was inspired by the Ashtanga teacher Leora Leibovitz, who I still attend classes with and continue to learn from and grow with. Leora graciously introduced her students to her teacher Shimon Ben Avi, who has visited and taught in Cape Town over the last 6 yrs, during his last 2 visits I completed an Intensive Yoga Teachers' course (2010 and 2011). Shimon introduced many of us to the very beautiful and ancient Yogic Philosophy as well, being yet another tool to help us move closer to ourselves... body, mind and spirit. During this time I also took classes with Jim Harrington an exceptional teacher and trainer. I feel truly Blessed and honoured to have been able to study with all these incredible teachers, amongst others, and love to share this knowledge and experiences with my fellow students and friends. NAMASTE, Andrea.
"Yoga gives us a way of life which combines values and ethical directions, which serve as a map in our daily lives. As yoga disciples, we are responsible for walking in the right path and executing deeds that support our lives and the lives of those around us and the environment where we live - mother earth. At first we have to learn to live by 'Ahimasa' to avoid hurting anyone or anything. This way will bring us to truth, since it develops compassion in our minds, words, deeds. We shall be able to see the unity in diversity and difference, we shall feel as one with nature and the whole universe." Seri Daharma Mitr
