Yoga Weekends @ East Clare Yoga Centre - 2010.

Margaret Rawlinson

Margaret has been teaching Iyengar Yoga for over twenty-five years and holds a senior Iyengar Yoga teaching certificate. She is firmly grounded in the precision and depth of Iyengar Yoga and has studied with both B.K.S. Iyengar and his daughter Geeta in India, the USA and Europe. She teaches regular classes in Berkshire, England as well as giving workshops and yoga holidays at home and abroad.

Margaret also brings into her teaching the richness of her experience in Chinese Medicine, which she has been practicing for the last ten years, after qualifying in acupuncture and patent herbal medicine at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine. Margaret believes that we can find self-healing for mind, body and spirit in complete Yoga practice, which incorporates asanas (physical postures), pranayama (breathing techniques) and meditation. Her classes explore the asanas in depth to find new insights, openings and extensions – but always joyfully and with a sense of fun.
