MCY’s Got Talent! Online Classes From Our Yoga Teacher Training Graduates
One of last year’s yoga teacher training graduates recorded a fantastic class for me to offer online during the challenging times we find ourselves in just now. Her Yoga Flow for Sports class was all Amanda’s own idea and she did a really great job. And it got me thinking…
Ashtanga Yoga, Modified Half Primary Series with Gaenor Aitken
Gaenor came to our yoga teacher training programme as a long time yoga practitioner and a trainer by profession. She’s the first to admit that she doesn’t look like your typical Ashtanga student. But, oh my goodness, her unwavering enthusiasm and commitment to the practice is truly inspiring. She’s inspiring change in the yoga community.

Yoga Flow for Sports with Amanda Hamilton
Amanda is an ultra-runner, sports massage therapist AND manages a research team for a very well known spirits company. I remember the first time I met her being hugely impressed by her achievements.

Achieving some lightness and fluidity of movement can really help as you flow through the practice. However, jump backs and jump throughs are not the be all and end all.
