About Florence...
Alliance Yoga 500 Hr Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT500E) Experienced
Although a double University degree in History and Geology as well as a long career as a Tribologist might seem an unlikely background for a yoga teacher, Florence's lifelong love of this practice has brought all her eclectic skills and training to bear and to compliment her Yoga teaching techniques.
Florence worked for the YWCA of Canada as the Total Fitness Consultant for many years, traveling across that large country, instituting courses to enhance the fitness and well-being of the members. It was during that time that she noticed that phycsical fitness alone is not sufficient to deal with the demands of modern life. She began her investigation of the Yoga practice and found that it supplied the missing ingredients that physical fitness alone did not supply. The Union of Mind, Body and Spirit taught in all the various yoga schools is what brings the individual into balance. Concentrating on only one aspect of this brings one into imbalance. So Florence began to devote herself to the complete understanding of the Yoga Philosophy and teachings.
She has been teaching here in the UK for over 20 years now.
She teaches in various venues from Yoga Shalas, Studios, AE Institues, Health Clubs, and private homes.
Florence studied and trained in Igengeyar, Astanga, Hatha, Yin and Silver Age Anti aging yoga styles. She has studied with Patabi Jois, BS Iyengar, John Scott, Paul Grilley, World Family Yoga, Himalayan Institute and many Ashrams in the USA, Canada and India to further her understanding and development of the union of mind, body and spirit taught in Yoga.
Florence has given yoga retreats and workshops in Europe, Canada, North Africa, North America and some Caribbean locations. She is very well respected and sought after as a private and studio yoga teacher because of her unique style of teaching. This is a combination of all the Yogic techniques she has studied and integrated into what each particular student or class requires. Her classes are always varied and never boring.
