Marc J Acquaviva is established as one of the leading lights of 'Scaravelli inspired' yoga and has been running workshops retreats and training courses around the world since 2002 . Abigail has been studying yoga for over 15 years and teaching for 10. As well as co-founding Acquaviva School of Yoga, she also completed the training under Marc's tuition and continues her apprenticeship as assistant teacher of the trainings and co-developer of the school. She also co-ordinates inclusion of returning students to the school who contribute to teaching and nurturing of everyone, students and teachers alike. Marc works with an an informal but deeply informative approach to yoga that invites direct personal exploration and a steadfast awareness of relationships between inner and outer worlds...The approach is radical because attention is placed more in 'Creating the Conditions' that will lead directly to the experience of Yoga (in the approach to any posture) rather than obsessing about achieving particular postures... This makes all postures available to anyone, each one a fascinating puzzle to unravel through an intense principle-based application of non-violent natural patterning in movement and support that honours the way the natural human being would move if free of all historic injury and misconception... The approach is transformational and offers the very real possibility of liberation from life long holding patterns and/or injuries. At the centre of Marc's work is an understanding of the precise Conditions that allow for this direct experience, and he is renowned for his skill at guiding people towards that experience, as well as offering practical, common sense explanations of what is occurring and why for those interested in the information. His work is appropriate for all levels of experience from curious beginner to dedicated practitioner/teacher. Marc offers mostly private tuition (apart from teacher training courses and retreats) either in person (near Brighton and Hove) or online via ZOOM for those that wish to develop depth and clarity in practice, but live in other areas. STUDENT TESTIMONIAL: "With Marc's guidance and encouragement, somehow the ego comes out of the equation, it becomes confused searching for the meaning, and in the process the body frees and moves, just as it always should have. Physical & mental tension is released. Marc is approachable and down-to-earth. His teaching is profound" Lesley (Yoga Teacher and graduate of The Acquaviva School of Yoga - Edinburgh)
