the business of yoga ‘The journey of the training from committing to teaching your first class is one filled with excitement, challenge, nerves, and all the feels! Andrea is selective in running this course just once per annum for the right students for the specific reason she and her team are able to support you in creating a network amongst students where you’re able to take your first steps in the world of teaching confidently. This allows you to branch out into this new world at your pace having had the right support and guidance. By placing the assessment a few months post the training students have time to put into practice their teaching skills, giving them the best chance of qualifying with confidence and take their newfound skills to the next step of holding space and leading classes.' - Helen, YTT Alumni 2016 ‘The journey of the training from committing to teaching your first class is one filled with excitement, challenge, nerves, and all the feels!

Meet your teachers Andrea Everingham Head teacher – Jivamukti Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga and Yoga Therapy (800 hours) Andrea Everingham began her journey with yoga 15 years ago, quickly developing a serious relationship with many styles and teaching Ashtanga for 10 of those years. It was when she stumbled into a Jivamukti class that a spark turned into an inferno and she fell in love with the style dubbed the ‘wild child’ of yoga. Instantly knowing this was for her – this untamed style that takes all energy and fuses it harmoniously with traditional yoga practices, gifting the soul true liberation. Fast-forward to today and she is a 500hr yoga therapist and a 300hr Jivamukti teacher – studying directly with its founders Sharon Gannon and David Life. Andrea’s passion and enthusiasm for sharing her knowledge fuels her teachings where exploring postures in a playful, present way instils the kind of liberated attitude found in her classes. Her classes are always fun, full of energy and a warmth that open hearts and creates smiles, inspiring you to work your own magic on the mat. Andrea has fast become known as one of the UK’s most versatile, energetic, and inspirational teachers – an open minded, dynamic, fearless and raw individual who is devoted to the continuous growth of her students. Her style of balancing high energy hands-on fun classes with deep relaxation infused with yogic teachings leaves you feeling uplifted, renewed, enlightened and connected. You can experience her particular essence of Jivamukti awesomeness at her studio in Manchester or one of her many international retreats. Andrea is the founder of OneYoga Studio in Manchester and a regular contributor to ‘Ask The Expert’ (Manchester Evening News). She combines her many years of experience studying and working with the human body and movement with an in-depth study of nutrition and raw foods and their impact on overall wellbeing. She joins the Azulfit team in the Fuerteventura sunshine with her natural and empathetic teaching style and infectious enthusiasm. Her holistic and sophisticated approach of total body, mind and spirit integration is as accessible to those new to yoga as it is challenging for the more practiced yogi.

"I am interested in the sense of constant evolution of all individual yoga journeys, that anyone can do it." Jigyasa Shiv Jigyasa is a Traditional Yoga Teacher and Energy Therapist with a Modern twist. She started practicing Yoga when she was a kid, using the practice as a remedy to help with her health issues. Seeing how the practice worked for her, she has believed strongly ever since in the power of Yoga and Meditation. Originally born, brought up and trained in India, Jigyasa has been living on the beautiful island of Fuerteventura for a couple of years teaching Yoga and practicing Energy Therapies. Classes/Sessions with her will help you heal your Body, Mind and Soul and connect better with your inner-self. Her classes provide a good mix of Chanting, Pranayama, Asana and Meditation. Jigyasa strongly believes that Each body is different and dedication can bring in great results. Yoga Aphorism that Jigyasa strongly believes in is “Ishwarapranidhanadva” meaning “Inner peace can be achieved through complete devotion and surrender (pranidhana) to God or a higher power (isvara)” Chloe Rose I began studying and practicing yoga in 2006; completed alignment based vinyasa training with Suzanne Slocum Gori (2013); attained Jivamukti certification with Sharon Gannon, Yogeswari and Jules Febre (2017); and most recently undertook Restorative Yoga teacher training with Anna Ashby (2018). I have experienced Jivamukti primarily as a student of Emma Henry (Divya Devi), without whom my practice would not be so magical nor life so bright. I also extend deep respect and appreciation to Manorama whose lambent teaching shone much light on the yogic texts and whose warmth suffused study with a softer joy than I had known before. A.C. Grayling founded The New College of the Humanities in 2012. I was one of the founding cohort and have since graduated and matriculated for a second time as one of the inaugural postgraduate cohort. I take the bit between my teeth with great relish, revelling in the blithe ease and freedom found with the well-read enfant terrible of academia and the well-lived ‘wild child of yoga’. In teaching I hope to share what I have experienced in philosophy and yoga alike: that the role of a teacher is to educate, etymologically ‘to lead out’, never to impose. For in dialogue there’s the thrilling exhilaration and sweeping pleasure whereby one’s own narrow point of view becomes broader than ever before- all thanks to one’s interlocutors. We need not know everything if we are willing to know one another.” Leticia Porto Leticia found Yoga during a particularly challenging time in her life, like many others at a time she needed it the most. Having never been particularly sporty, but loved (and still does) the joy that comes with dance, movement and meditation; yoga gave Leticia the opportunity to not only do this, but to reconnect to herself. For the subsequent two years she followed a strict diet of Ashtanga Mysore style, before undertaking her first 200 hour Vinyasa YTT with her original Yoga Teacher, Andrea Everingham. Having taught locally in Manchester, Leti felt called once again to dive deeper into her practice, and undertook her second 200 hour YTT in her first love, Ashtanga Yoga, with European Yoga Institute. She will continue her training this Summer on a 6 weeks pilgrimage to India, the home of yoga, a trip she is both excited and humbled to make. Running parallel to her Yoga journey has been her work with young people. She began volunteering in Spain with the Red Cross for young people. On moving to England in 2009, she began volunteering and eventually teaching Spanish and the Humanities to children that had fallen out of education due to social, emotional, behavioural and mental health barriers; many of which had been written off altogether by the system. In 2018 she developed her own Yoga Therapy programme for these pupils with measurable Ofstead –approved targets. The results were outstanding – behaviour, sleep pattern, wellbeing all improved in leaps and bounds. Presently she is in the process of copyrighting and codifying this programme, with goal to implement it in schools in both the UK and Spain – wherever there is belief in children and second chances.
