Hope West

For me, yoga is about self-realisation: the more we understand ourselves, the more opportunities we have to fulfill our potential. It's a means to living with virtuosity--living skillfully--enhancing our experience of ourselves. When we engage ourselves fully, we expand our awareness, and ignite an inner revolution.

Weaving together asana, inspiring philosophy and humour, I create my classes to be uplifting, imaginative and lyrical. With a strong emphasis on biomechanical alignment, and with respect for individual abilities, I nurture a supportive environment where students can learn to move safely, deepening their awareness of their bodies.

I am a certified Anusara-Inspired teacher, and hold a degree in Asian Religious Philosophy from Columbia University in NYC. I have studied anatomy, meditation and yoga therapeutics, and continue to further my understanding of yoga philosophy with renown Tantric scholar, Douglas Brooks.
