June Mercer
June has been teaching yoga in Scotland for 17 years. Teaching yoga is now her full-time career. She teaches regular weekly classes, day seminars, one-to ones and classes for adults with learning difficulties .June has taught yoga holidays in France which have been fun and inspiring.
June qualified with Yoga Scotland in 1992 and is an advanced instructor on the Register of Exercise Professionals. For the past 15 years June’s primary influence has been John Stirk. John was taught by Vanda Scaravelli. June has also learned lots over the years from many other ‘’Scaravelli Inspired’’teachers, notably Marc Woolford, Pete Blackaby, Sandra Sabatini and Rosamunde Jordan.
June is a gentle yoga teacher, encouraging students to explore movement within their own comfortable limits. Aims are to release tension, make space in the body, relax muscles and mind. Getting into the yoga posture is almost incidental and often a pleasant surprise!
A session ‘’doing yoga’’ can feel like a meditation as movement flows through a variety of postures. On the yoga holiday there is plenty of time to enjoy the slow pace and deep work. The work is from the inside out, from the ground up, body being breathed in the present moment.........all accessible to beginners as well as advanced students. Experience takes you deeper but the joy of yoga is there for everybody For more info on June’s approach go to www.junesyoga.com
