Specialist Module Leaders

Shamita Ray : Sanskrit

Shamita will be sharing wisdom on the ancient language of Sanskrit. Shamita’s intricate knowledge of sound makes her a perfect teacher for this alpha-sonic tongue. She is a 500hr teacher, who has also devoted herself to the completion of a Masters in the traditions of Yoga and Meditation at SOAS University. Shamita will help you to understand the fundamentals of Sanskrit, as well as the techniques and values of incorporating Sanskrit into your classes.

Damian Lynch : Finding Your Voice

Damian is a highly accomplished actor, having worked across stage, screen and radio. The versatility of his voice has afforded him opportunities as a voiceover artist and audiobook narrator as well. He will be guiding you through a workshop covering vocal confidence, toning, health and maintenance, as well as offering exercises to help you develop your own unique and authentic tone as a teacher. He looks forward to meeting you all and helping you find your voice.

Lolo Lam : Ayurveda + Functional Anatomy

Lolo will introduce you to the fascinating worlds of both Ayuverdic medicine and functional anatomy. With a background in nursing and specialisation in neurosurgery and intensive care, Lolo’s knowledge of the medical and wellbeing world perfectly straddles the Eastern and Western approaches. You can expect her to share experience and help you marry these two systems of thought and integrate them into your practice and teaching.

Tara Lee + Clare Daniell : Pre/Postnatal

Tara Lee and Clare Daniell have worked together for over 8 years running workshops and trainings for pregnant and post-natal students. They will be sharing their experience with you, and teaching you how to accommodate for, modify and integrate bodies as they pass through this stage. Use this part of the training as a stepping-off point, before you consider going further and taking pregnancy and post-natal trainings after your 200hr qualification.
