We are delighted to welcome Rowena Harris as part of her 70th year,
birthday celebrations. Rowena has over 40 years’ experience of yoga and has
been an Iyengar Yoga teacher since 1990. During that time, she has been
fortunate to be taught directly by Mr Iyengar a few times and spent month long
periods studying with Geeta Iyengar and the Chanchanis in India.
She recently recovered from stage 4 cancer of the colon and liver and the journey
towards recovery was supported by her deep understanding of the powerful
healing aspects of yoga.
With this experience now a part of her practice, she is able to offer new insights
and we look forward to sharing a very valuable weekend of yoga.
