Denise started practicing Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga to relieve the stress of corporate life. It certainly worked as it gave her the space and courage to leave her job and focus on studying and sharing the practice. Her inspiration and direction comes from her world-renowned teachers, John and Lucy Scott. For three years, she has had the privilege of working closely with John and Lucy as their apprentice/teaching assistant. This has provided a unique and amazing opportunity to deepen her understanding of the teaching techniques and the practice. She has taught all over the world with John and Lucy – India, Kenya, Singapore, Japan and extensively at their studio in Cornwall. In addition to this, Denise has passed John Scott’s two year Ashtanga teacher training and David Swenson’s Ashtanga foundation course and she has studied with Sri K Pattabhi Jois (the founder of Ashtanga) and Sharath (the Co-director) in Mysore, India, home of Ashtanga. Denise has a broad background in teaching and working with the body – she is also a qualified Pilates and Martial Arts Instructor. Denise’s website can be found at www.yogaden.co.uk
