Our Tribe!
The way in which our immersions and intensives run are very much experiential and experimental!
The emphasis always rests on the students to explore the topics themselves under our guidance. Rather than simply transferring lots of information to be remembered...which is a largely pointless and boring exercise, we work on the basis of 40% guidance and 60% questions, with you doing 60% of the hard work! That way you will really get to grips with the units as you study them, developing a deeper long-term understanding, rather than superficial fading memories.
We certainly don't believe that one person should be responsible for delivering their opinions to others on a course of any kind, especially this one where the emphasis is to encourage an exploration of your 'own path'. So we have pulled together some very special and highly respected teachers from across the UK to deliver parts of the course which they are especially passionate about. Feed off of their experience and apply it as you feel is right for you.
You can find more information on the various units and specific course tutors below.
Please note not all of these tutors teach on all of the courses

Dan Peppiatt
Dan Peppiatt-Dan took up yoga over twenty years ago after a variety of physical symptoms resulting from anxiety. He spent many years as a science teacher after a stint at medical school and combines his teaching experience and scientific background to explain things in a clear, logical and non dogmatic way. He truly believes that there is a perfect form of yoga for everyone, we just have to trust ourselves to find it!
Dan is the founder of Yoga Like Water, if there is such a thing and teaches widely at studios across the country to both students and existing teachers of yoga. He loves bringing together such an amazing group of teachers and students to play, laugh and have fun!
He is unlikely to be found on a yoga mat very often, but more likely on a surfboard or kiteboard, hanging from a cliff, slacklining or falling off of a perfectly good skateboard.

Gemma Peppiatt
Gemma Peppiatt - Gemma is one of the most chilled and gentle souls that you will ever have the joy of meeting! She has been teaching yoga for over twenty years and enjoys working with the very immobile, elderly and pregnant mums.
Although she will leave you wondering how one person can be so relaxed with the world! She specialises in yoga therapy, yoga nidra, adapting with props, and yoga for pregnancy and brings a taste of these skills to the 200 hour course for further investigation.
She can generally be found in the corner of the room during TT sessions, observing students, making notes to feedback and giving Dan a very serious look when he starts to get too ridiculous!
Lolo Lam

Lolo is one of Londons most popular teachers and can be found at Indaba and Yogarise Peckham amongst other haunts.
