THE VISION

In 2000, leading Scottish yoga teacher, June Mitchell, and celebrity fitness teacher and Chi Ball master trainer, Julie Hanson, were introduced by Shen Bowers, an American who had been living in Edinburgh and Perthshire for several years, teaching classes and seminars in Chi Gung.

It quickly became apparent to both June and Julie that this was a significant meeting and the establishment of the CYS Yoga Teacher Training Course is the culmination of many happy hours of enthusiastic discussion and planning, to create a broad-based yet classical approach to the teaching of yoga in the UK, leading the way to fill the growing need not only for inspiring, professional teachers but also yoga teachers with joy in their hearts from their own experience and practice, and a desire to share that joy and passion with their students.
