October 20 – 27

Judy Krupp

Judy Krupp: founder and director of The Yoga Room & Life Centre, has been teaching for over 20 years. Originally trained in the Iyengar system, Judy now teaches a multifaceted approach, blending the art of asana practice with the science of the mechanics of movement. Judy has an astute knowledge of the body and its movement and she lives and teaches with both humour and passion. She encourages her students to move beyond their perceived limitations, whilst working at an individual pace with grace and core stability. Judy also practices Steve Lochkhardt Myotherapy; she has been a myotherapy body therapist for the last 16 years, working with the re-alignment of the body. She has complemented this with studies of Reiki and Indian Head Massage.

The course:
Judy’s practice aims to nurture your body and its needs. She wants you to leave the yoga class feeling better than when you entered. Her studies of yoga have included not only training with Angela Farmer and Donna Farhi, but also studying anatomy and physiology with Simon Borg-Olivier. She syas: “I have had many fabulous teachers and influences over the last 30 years including, Iyengar, Pattabhi Jois, Rodney Yee, Eric Schiffman, David Life and Sharon Gannon of Jivamukti yoga, Simon Borg Olivier, Ramanand  Patel and Peggy Hackney who does the developmental pattern work. I am one very lucky little yogini!” She has applied the benefits of the knowledge she has gained to developing a yoga practice that addresses our everyday needs. Too many of us suffer from strains and discomfort brought on by sitting for too long, hunching our shoulders over a compute, standing badly and taking strain from uncomfortable footwear, or walking poorly. The harm this does is manifested in strained joints and muscles and weakened muscle tissue – with all the knock-on effects this has in feeling tired, lacking focus and being low on energy. She will explore all these aspects of the body in her retreat.

Half split - but don't worry, you are not expected to do this!
