The Practice
The VamanaYoga approach to yoga practice is named after the ancient sage referred to as Vamana Rishi. Yogic Mythology relates that Vamana Rishi was born at a time in the distant past when humans had lost the art of Astanga Yoga. It was Vamana Rishi’s role to reinstate the practice and inspire an interest in Astanga that would not be forgotten again. With this in mind, the traditional practice of Astanga Vinyasa Yoga is the heart of the method.
The Teacher
Hello!
Thank you for taking an interest in my approach to the traditional practice of Yoga. My name is Sean Schofield. I have practiced various styles of Yoga since 1998, eventually settling into a traditional Ashtanga practice. I am a fully qualified and registered Yoga Teacher with the Yoga Alliance and currently studying for a diploma in Yoga Therapy. I am also an experienced Personal Trainer specialising in Weight Management, Doctors Referrals, Nutritional Management and Lower Back disorders.
I feel truly blessed to have been trained to teach Yoga and Meditation over the past 5 years by some of the most transformative Yogis in the world, including; David Swenson, John Scott, Richard Freeman, Kino McGregor, Ana Forrest, Sarah Powers, Danny Paradise, David Williams, Anne-Marie Newland , Bo Forbes, Laura Gilmour, Doug Keller, Anna Ashby and Uma Dinsmore-Tuli. I am dedicated to passing this tradition on to all those interested in the practice of Yoga and Meditation.
I am deeply committed to a holistic lifestyle and approach to our bodies. I believe intuitively in Albert Einstein’s paraphrased statement ‘We cannot solve a problem with the same mentality that created it’. Most of the conditions we encounter are due to the fact that we generally get too much, too quickly and too easily. Our experiences tend to be artificially stimulating and therefore our expectations have become unsustainable. When we inevitably become unwell due to excess, unnatural environments and living conditions, we often demand treatments that also display the characteristics of too much, too easy, too fast and unsustainable. It appears that we are attempting to address a condition with the same process that created it. This is reflected in our demand for catastrophically invasive treatments and health destroying pharmaceuticals even when dealing with very mundane conditions
I have found the practice of conscious diet (mithara), Ashtanga Yoga, Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra and Meditation to be closely related to Einstein’s recommendation. Bearing in mind the nature of what is troubling us as a society, most modern illnesses should begin with the prescription
‘Slow down and become conscious’. - Sean
