  I have practised yoga since 1970 and have taught since 1987. My teacher is Swami Dharmanancda Saraswati, founder and spiritual head of the Dharma Yoga Centre, whose teaching and teacher training diplomas I hold; I also hold the British Wheel of Yoga's teaching diploma. My teaching includes experience with older people and people with mental health problems. For the past seven years I have trained yoga teachers. My book, A Visible Wound: A Healing Journey through Breast Cancer was published in 1996 by Element. The tape that goes with it, Breathe and Relax: A Way to Healing, gives instructions for the practices which are described in the book and which will be the main focus of the class.

My cancer experience has left me with a deeper trust in the power of yoga to help us through life and a stronger commitment to passing on what I know of yoga through teaching and training - and , now, to those who are meeting the challenge of cancer.

I started practising yoga in 1985 as an aid to stress relief and was invited to take up training as a yoga teacher in 1990. I qualified with distinction as a FRYOG teacher in 1992. Due to a full time job that involved a lot of commuting I only taught intermittently until 1999, taking a range of classes from beginner to advanced. Then in 1999, I took the YBT course in Yoga Therapy to widen and deepen my knowledge and qualified in 2001. Since then I have been taking therapy classes at the YTC in asthma, low back pain, digestive problems, circulation problems and AIDS. In addition, I now teach yoga classes regularly in Addlestone and Iver.

Over the years my attitude to yoga and yoga therapy has changed. Initially, I believed that yoga  mainly focused on ways of working with the body and the breath to control the mind. However, as my knowledge was widened and deepened, I now include the use of mantras, sounds and mudras as well. I addition, I have come to recognise that many of the yoga practices can, and should, be used throughout daily life.

   Swami Satvikananda Saraswati Classes
  Satvikananda has been practising yoga for over twenty years and for most of this time under the guidance of Swami Satyaratnananda. She trained as a FRYOG teacher and as a therapist with the Yoga Biomedical Trust. She is also a Satyananda Karma Sannyasin, a practitioner of Tera-Mai Reiki and Seichem healing and a student of Crystal Therapy.

As well as the classes Satvikananda does at the Yoga Therapy Centre she sees many people privately for many diverse conditions both at the centre and in Surrey. She runs many specialised classes in Surrey and Hampshire including pregnancy and baby yoga and runs assorted day workshops.

Satvikananda's classes are varied in content embracing the whole of yoga not just the postures. She works closely with pranayama, (breath and energy) and mantra (sound) as well as introducing some of the more 'western friendly' cleansing practices. When teaching she also draws on the other healing energies that she works closely with. To date she has produced six audio cassettes covering various aspects of yoga which are readily available at the centre.

   Liz Taylor GTCL LTCL, BWY Dip, YTh Dip Classes
  Liz Taylor trained as a yoga teacher with the British Wheel of Yoga and as a therapist with the Yoga Biomedical Trust. She has been work at the yoga therapy centre since 1995. Originally trained as a musician, she works with breath, movement and sound.

This helps the client to release tensions, and direct energy to the parts of the body which need it. Working this way with the yoga stretches and asanas strengthens body and mind, awakening the healing power within, and building stamina and mental focus.
