EDWARD
CLARK, Tripsichore Yoga
| (www.tripsichore.com)
Edward Clark began studying yoga in 1979. He is the creator of
Tripsichore yoga Theatre, and noteworthy among his teachers are
Narayani and Giris Rabinovitch, but he confesses huge admiration
for the Ashtanga Vinyasa, Sivananda, Iyengar and Viniyoga
practices. He fuses his keen artistic vision with a deep
understanding of the essential pursuit of yoga practice. With
one foot in dance, one foot in Ashtanga and Sivananda he has synthesized
the use of breath, asana, choreography and
philosophy. His classes are entertaining, demanding and
exhilarating.
Based
in London, England, "Tripsichore Yoga Theatre" is one of the most
extraordinary movement innovations to emerge from the yoga
discipline. This contemplative style of movement theatre is a
sensual exploration of spirituality that unites the mind and the
body. The breath guides the body through a safe, fluid flow of
postures that creates stunningly spectacular visual poetry. It
is both a fun and an orthodox practice that respects the
technical and safe aspects of traditional yoga.

LAURIE
GREENE,
PhD, E-RYT, YBR | Yoga Nine Studios (Smithville
& L.B.I. )
 A
PhD in anthropology, Laurie has practiced yoga
since age 15, having grown up in a "yoga
family". Since then, yoga has become her
healthy addiction. Always an enthusiastic
student, Laurie combines her training in a
variety of classical "hatha"
traditions, bringing insights and techniques
from all these to her eclectic teaching and
practice. Training extensively in the Iyengar
tradition, emphasis is on safety, technique and
proper alignment so that students will get the
greatest benefits from their practice, and
easily experience the joy that yoga affords
every fitness level. Laurie is also certified in
Vinyasa flow and is registered with the Yoga
Alliance as an "experienced teacher"
and trainer. Her continuing exploration of
classical and newer interpretations of Astanga
Vinyasa have led her to study with many amazing
teachers; and to all of them she is forever
grateful. The studio has become a place where
many of these and new teachers gather and
continue to inspire. Having completed her 500
hour certification with the wonderful Edward
Clark & Elizabeth Connelly, Laurie's passion
lies in blending many styles into a practice
that is instructive, creative and fun. By all
accounts, Laurie is is married to the greatest
man that has ever graced this earth (Joe), and
they are the proud parents of three
"grown" children (XOXO). |

Elizabeth
Connolly
 Liz Connolly trained with BKS Iyengar for 20
years as well as spending considerable time with Silva Mehta.
She was a member of the Board Of Directors of the BKS Iyengar
Yoga Association and was a certified Senior Iyengar Teacher and
assessor at both introductory and intermediate levels as well as
a teacher trainer for Iyengar students since 1980. She was
however, one of the UK's most notorious yet best kept yoga
secrets...acknowledged as a fiercely knowledgeable teacher, but
seldom seen or visited. | In the 1990s, Liz began to study intensively with Shandor Remete
when he started giving courses at her premises in England. She gained
further notoriety as an Iyengar apostate when she began
seriously studying Ashtanga with Graeme Northfield. She
later introduced Ashtanga to Ireland when she brought David
Swenson and others there. | Amongst her unusual accomplishments, Liz has taught in the Maze
Prison in Northern Ireland where she trained political prisoners
to become yoga teachers. Her many influences mean that her take
on both Iyengar and Ashtanga techniques is singular and wide
ranging. While based in Cornwall, she gives teacher training
courses in London and all over Europe. Elizabeth confidently
predicts that she will make any individual's yoga practice
progress and they will leave class feeling they have learned and
achieved something new.
