ABOUT MORVEN HAMILTON

Course Leader

Since qualifying to teach in 2008, Morven has accumulated over 15,000 hours of experience teaching and training all over the world. Previously a teacher, lecturer, group facilitator and business owner, she skilfully transmits the teachings of yoga in an accessible, meaningful way.

Her approach is informed by her own dedicated practice and study, and by decades of working with groups of all kinds. Her yoga classes are some of the most popular in the Bristol area. She has been teaching on yoga teacher training courses and mentoring new teachers since 2011 and she offers this Hatha yoga teacher training course for those who are looking for a holistic, mindful approach to teaching. Her belief is that, whether your intention is to teach beginner students or those who are “advanced” in asana - on the path of yoga, it's vital to practice with integrity and compassion.

She is non-dogmatic in her teaching and encourages her students to intuitively find their own expression of yoga, believing that there are as many styles of yoga as there are people on the planet. She inspires students to discover an awareness of their own unique body and mind with warmth, compassion and grace.

"Morven expertly guides you through her teaching, whilst giving you the freedom to respond to your own body, and encouraging you to explore what arises." - H.M | Student

"Morven is a delight - she has so much experience of teaching and is very committed to the Yoga path, yet she teaches so lightly and accommodates individual differences in ability with ease" - F.M | Student
