Magnetic Island Yoga
Garry
Having started my Yoga journey in 1996, I relocated to Cairns the following year where I practised under the tutorage of the then Iyengar senior certificate holder Nicky Knoff. In 2001 in Byron Bay, I enrolled in The 9 month Yoga Arts Teacher Training Course, where I studied and practised Iyengar and Ashtanga Yoga, the training included extensive study in pranyama, yoga philosophy and anatomy. Upon completion I moved to Townsville and taught at The North Queensland School of Yoga. In 2003 I travelled to India where I deepened my practise in asana and pranayama through teaching and studying. The next 2 years were spent working in a home for destitute children in the village of Tapovan outside Rishikesh. Here I practised Karma and Bhakti Yoga, while teaching asana to the children. During the past 9 years I've spent a total of 4 years in India increasing my knowledge of yoga and have continuously returned to India to teach and study. In between trips I reside on the beautiful Magnetic Island where I conduct regular classes.
