Vinyasa Yoga Retreat with Heather Elton & Matt Spellman at Finca Argayall

Finca Argayall is a beautiful yoga resort nestled into a seaside cove on La Gomera, a tranquil island in the Canarian Archipelagos. There is no mass tourism here - just spectacular, diverse and natural landscapes. Hiking, mountain biking, kayaking and dolphin/whale watching are all possible on this magical island. You can trek through an ancient Laurisilva forest up to Garajonay (1487m), La Gomera's highest peak. Or, you might just want to relax by the pool, have a holistic treatment, wander…See More

Profile Information

My Yoga Style
I teach Ashtanga and Vinyasa Flow Yoga in London and on international yoga intensives and workshops, including Yoga Teacher Training in Goa. Ashtanga is taught in the Mysore tradition of Sri K Patabbhi Jois and Vinyasa Krama, or Hatha Flow, is an intelligent linking of poses rooted in classical yogic traditions that explores the physical, mental and subtle aspects of the practice. I consider Sri T Krishnamacharya to be the Grandfather of modern yoga and endeavor to teach all 8 limbs of ‘classical' Ashtanga in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras (200 B.C.). I'm a believer in the sacred power of yoga, the awakening of the Kundalini, and the transcendent path to Self-Realisation that Tantric mystics describe as a journey to the Divine through reverence and perfection of body, breath, mind and spirit.

Yoga philosophy is integrated with asana and breath to explore the inner/outer techniques of Vinyasa Yoga that transform the mind and body, accelerate personal growth and illuminate one's highest potential to find purpose and meaning in life. I aim to reveal the spiritual path underlying the practice and the technology to stabilize the mind, so we can shed the veils of Maya perpetuated by the ego, glimpse at our true nature and liberate ourselves from suffering. My approach is a deep physical and psychological practice that moves beyond a mere physical experience to make the spiritual yogic inquiry authentic and relevant to real life. The ultimate aim of yoga is love, liberation and freedom. Moksha.
I Practise Yoga at
I began Hatha Yoga (BKS Iyengar) in 1986 and my yoga path has involved extensive studies with teachers from around the world, many who have had a profound influence of my unique style. In the past decade, my interest turned to Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga and I've studied with Sri K Pattabhi Jois in Mysore and with many of his senior students including John Scott, David Swenson, Matthew Sweeney and Rolf Naujokat. Nancy Gilgoff was my first Ashtanga teacher and I've attended many of her 'Adjustment Clinics' to learn how to safely assist people in the Primary and Intermediate Series. I completed 200-level Yoga Teacher Training with Richard Freeman (2004) and a 200+-level training focusing on the traditional Krishnamacharya method of Asana, Pranayama and Kundalini Metaphysics with Sri BNS Iyengar at the Patanajala Yoga Shala in Mysore (2008/09). On the Vinyasa Flow side of yoga, I completed the Tripsichore Yoga Theatre Teacher Training with Edward Clark (2002). David Life and Sharon Gannon (Jivamukti Studios) are also inspirational people and teachers.

I have studied various meditation techniques, including Tibetan Nyingma and Theravada Buddhism. I completed a 10-day silent Vipassana meditation retreat in Myanmar (Burma) in 2006 and Dhamma Dipa (Hereford, UK) in 2009. I try to practice Self-Inquiry, the direct path to liberation, based on the teachings of Ramana Maharishi and visited his ashram in Tiruvannamalai, India (2009). Native American Shamanic healing techniques and Tantra also inform my yoga path.

I'm a certified member of Yoga Alliance at the highest level, E-RYT 500, and have recently been certified at RYS-200 to offer Yoga Teacher Training.
