About Lucy
Years of experience in holistic bodywork and ashtanga yoga define Lucy’s gentle and profound energy when teaching.
Her interest in a more holistic approach to life started in 1990 working as a massage therapist and aromatherapist in London. On her way to work one day she spotted a long line of people queuing down the road with yoga mats to get into an adjacent building. It was the hugely popular Derek Ireland and Radha Warrell visiting London to teach an Ashtanga workshop!
Lucy joined them and began her Ashtanga journey. She was hooked and soon travelled to Mysore, India to begin her studies with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, and in 1995 was authorised to teach.
The same year she started a family with John Scott whom she met on her first trip to Mysore.
Lucy also collaborated on the book Ashtanga Yoga with Lino Miele, the first of its kind to lay out the sequences and vinyasa count that are so much part of ashtanga yoga.
Lucy’s based in Devon and leads Ashtanga workshops in the UK and internationally.
