Ashtanga Vinyasa was the style of Yoga that Amanda taught initially, but by the late nineties she was experimenting with more creative ways of practising and teaching Yoga. This led her to study with Donna Farhi in Vancouver in 2000 and on many subsequent trainings and workshops. Amanda’s teaching of Yoga now includes integration of developmental movement patterns based on the principles of Body-Mind Centering®. Her aim is to help students develop embodied awareness and greater ease of movement. A Somatic Movement Educator and British Wheel trained Yoga teacher, Amanda’s qualifications include a BWY Diploma, Integrative Bodywork and Movement Therapy Diploma, Jabadao Learning Through Movement Diploma, Advanced Teacher Training Certification with Donna Farhi.
SWAMI SATYANANDA SARASWATI
Swami Satyananda Saraswati departed this life on Saturday 5th December 2009. Swami Satyananda was born in 1923. He met his guru, Swami Sivananda, in 1943, and in the traditional fashion he lived on his ashram for 12 years. Swami Satyananda founded the International Yoga Fellowship in 1956 and the Bihar School of Yoga in 1963. Author of over 80 books, he toured the world spreading the message of yoga “from door to door and shore to shore” as instructed by his Guru. Even in “retirement” in 1988 he continued to be active, setting up a charitable foundation at Rikhia from which some of the poorest people in India benefited greatly, and carrying out enormously demanding sadhana for the benefit of all.
There will be many thousands of yogis all over the world who will mark the passing of Swami Satyananda with sadness, but also with love and respect. Yoga Scotland has over many years been privileged to have disciples of Swami Satyananda, such as Swamis Pragyamurti, Vedantananda and Janakananda, at our annual residential retreats; and we join our thoughts and prayers to all Swami Satyananda’s disciples worldwide.
