This page gives information about Rosemary Bennett, Yoga Teacher, Teacher Trainer and complimentary therapist in reflexology and the Bowen Technique.
Rosemary has been practicing yoga for 40 years and been teaching since 1985; she has been training teachers for 30 years. She started practicing yoga just as a way to keep fit when working for the BBC but it soon developed into an absolute necessity for overcoming the stress of daily living and she realised it was something she could never be without.
Over the years Rosemary has studied with a wide range of teachers and styles of yoga including Iyengar, Viniyoga, Ashtanga Vinyasa, Sivananda, Bikram, Kundalini and traditional Hatha Yoga. She has also been strongly influenced by her own teacher Swami Satchidanana Ma who mixes Integral Yoga with the Alexander Technique; Phil Jones a pranayama and breath work expert; Meg Trainor an Authentic Movement facilitator; Swami Omkarananda’s teachings of mantra and Dr K.L.V. Kumar of Traditional Yoga. Rosemary leads with a disciplined yet flowing style which blends precision in alignment with her love of movement and the power of meditation, mantra and pranayama.
Rosemary has been training teachers for the British Wheel of Yoga for over 30 years.
In 2004 Rosemary received Divine Blessings and was initiated as a Swami at the Omkarananda Ashram in Switzerland. Rosemary believes we need a strong ethical base in our life and yoga practice, and that Vedanta Philosophy helps us find unity in diversity.
“The nature of the Spirit in you is Light. It is the nature of your being, your existence. Mystics, sages, and saints are witnesses of this Light. It is Life. It is Love. It is Beauty. It is Wisdom. It is everything, and more than everything. “ Swami Omkarananda
