Swami Satchidananda Ma

 

 

Swami Satchidananda Ma (Satchi) has been tutoring Yoga at residential Retreats for many years. She has been practising Yoga for more than thirty years and as a Teacher of Yoga and the Alexander Technique, she has travelled and taught extensively throughout the British Isles as well as overseas.

 

For her, there is always delight in sharing her knowledge wherever she is asked to do so. She requests no set fee for her tuition but invites a donation, in order that the class or group in question can pay her according to the level which they can afford.

 

As a former Chairman of the British Wheel of Yoga and recently as Founder of the Satchidananda Wholistic Trust, Satchidananda promotes Yoga and well-being in society whenever she can. Her warmth and open heartedness are instantly recognisable, yet people also respond positively to her practical approach to Yoga. Her practice and teaching are naturally in a style of her own, although she believes in Integral Yoga in the tradition of Swami Sivananda and her other great inspirer Swami Venkatesananda.

 

Her own love and faith in Yoga is conveyed throughout her classes, whether leading sessions of Asanas, Pranayama or Mantra. Being a qualified teacher of the Alexander Technique, she aims for quality of movement and posture during the practical sessions of Yoga. She likes to work hard herself and encourages the same attitude from others in her gentle but persuasive way. Her infectious enthusiasm invariably inspires all those around her.
