Granville
Granville is a practicing yoga teacher with over 40 years practice experience and over 20 years of teaching experience. He has been fortunate to have studied with Mr. B. K. S. Iyengar at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune, India, and also with him on several workshops and classes in the U.K.He began the practice of Astanga Vinyasa Yoga in 1993 with Michael Taylor and Elizabeth Wilson in the north of England and then more fully with Derek Ireland and Radha at “The Practice Place” in Crete. Having realized the benefits of both Iyengar and Astanga Vinyasa Yoga, now he combines into teaching the wisdom of both these traditions. His early beginnings were in Hatha Yoga and currently he is developing yogAsana which utilizes the flowing sequence of Surya Namaskar as the basis for practice. More asanas, pranayama and meditation are introduced as one’s proficiency develops. He continues to present his yogAsana to classes and worshops in Manchester and the U.K.He also leads retreats and in Europe, the Middle-East and the Caribbean. His workshops and holidays are underpinned with early morning and evening meditation sessions where the practitioners are taught to sit quietly whilst concentrating on the breath. From there they can proceed into analytical meditation which results in developing insight which is the cornerstone of spiritual development.
