"Morven delivers a fascinating and wide-ranging course, drawing on her own extensive and diverse knowledge and practical experience but also integrating the topic-specific guidance of a range of external tutors, enabling students to garner a wealth of information and ideas informed by immersive first-hand experience. Being an adult learner, stretched literally and metaphorically with new skills and concepts, is undeniably difficult but, from the outset, Morven’s students are made to feel welcome, seen, respected and supported; a strong sense of camaraderie and an informal, but purposeful, mutually supportive, learning environment swiftly develops as a result. Beyond the necessary learning of the asana canon in greater detail, the course provides the opportunity to turn inward and discover a great deal more about ourselves. The study and practice of the subtler aspects of yoga (the potentially life-changing tools such as pranayama or meditation), of anatomy (fostering a more respectful appreciation that moves beyond superficial appearances), and of historical and philosophical context, afford ample opportunity to look more objectively and compassionately at our own reactions and patterns, at our relationship with our minds and bodies. Regardless of whether your intention is to teach or not, this is a fantastic and beneficial course to undertake!"
