BYTA Teacher's Practice #3 - Yoga & Wellbeing
"YOGA & WELLBEING" - Saturday 8th June 2019
3 local yoga teachers share with us about their passions and experience in different wellbeing practices.
Mel Dupres presented on 'The magic of Homeopathy, Yoga and Energy!" - her exploration of healing through homeopathy, movement, how yoga moves energy and how surrender helps us through.
Elaine White talked about functional medicine, what it is and how she was inspired to study for certification. Her ambition is to educate and empower people to take control of and transform their health using this holistic approach.
Shara Crunden, a phsiotherapist and yoga instructor has recently dived deep into learning about and practicing Ayurveda. Ayurveda is a holistic and natural medicine based on 5000 years of Eastern medicine, tried and tested over centuries and now an accessible alternative to conventional medicine!
...and our 3 presentations were followed by a lovely asana practice led by Mel Dupres

Shanell Vaughn shared her story and experience of The International Yoga Festival in Rishikesh India, and why she encourages other teachers to go.
And Jeanette Morrison shared the story of her journey to train as a Kundalini yoga teacher, and then led us in a Kundalini Yoga practice!

BYTA Teacher's Practice #1 - Replenishing our Teachers
"REPLENISHING OUR TEACHERS" - November 10th 2018
|
Our inaugural 'Teacher's Practice' class was a replenishing practice with a presentation and discussion at the end of class.
As teachers a lot of our energy and focus can go towards those we are supporting. So the BYTA is introducing these sessions for teachers to come together and nourish their OWN practice and personal growth. |
Summer Solstice 2018
This year we celebrated the 15th Anniversary of our annual, community, Summer Solstice Sunrise Yoga Practice.
For this special occasion we incorporated the theme from another community event...
#WalkTOGETHERBermuda is a community collaboration to inspire hope & compassion & to bring the people of our beautiful island together. We captured the spirit of WalkTogether by borrowing the inspiration boards they used during their event.
The boards invited you to consider and connect with someone over the following questions:
Share your story * What do you care about? What Matters to you? * What does a peaceful Bermuda look like to you? * What makes a community come together and what can you do?
Participants also received a booklet of quotes we complied to mark the occasion.
The quotes were submitted by BYTA members and friends in the yoga community.
Thank you very much to our teachers who presented the class:
Trish Alexander; Elaine White; Sophia Cannonier; Melanie Dupres; Bec Cottingham; Shadae Smith-Steede; Robin Holder; & Marcia Pringle
And thank you to everyone who joined us on this beautiful morning!
