The Bushey School of Yoga was founded
in 1992 as a centre for sharing the teaching of classical, traditional
yoga. It began with one weekly class and has developed into several
weekly classes, monthly workshops, chanting group, bi-annual retreats
and a supplier of books, tapes and related carefully-sourced products.
The Director of Studies has had a strong connection over the
years with The Yoga For Health Foundation where she took her training
in general and remedial Yoga, and eventually met her personal
mentor, Marge Moseley. She has been, and still continues to be,
a strong influence on the teachings and philosophy of the School.
Like the Yoga For Health Foundation’s philosophy, the Bushey
School of Yoga believes that Yoga is for anyone.
An aspect of the philosophy of the School is that it embraces
the feminine; students are encouraged to see black as well as
white, dark as well as light, following the belief that in order
to find our ‘treasure’ we often need to go through
a murky place!! Given respect, trust will develop and students
will feel safe – safe enough, then, to find their own treasure/inner
strength and ultimate connection to whatever they have faith in.
The School’s goal comes from the Director of Studies’
initial affirmation, when she first decided to teach Yoga, which
was that she had a desire to share the positive benefits of Yoga
with as many people as possible. These benefits come in physical,
mental, emotional and spiritual forms. From belief and experience
Yoga has been seen to heal, and is therefore a valuable and precious
thing to be able to share. Yoga is a challenge, and it is through
challenge that we can come to know ourselves again. Yoga is also
something that is meant to be enjoyed so there is a strong belief
in the joy of humour, humility and love.
Part of the goal, therefore, in teacher training is to work with
a small group of committed students who wish to follow in this
sharing process. They will probably be students who are already
attending the Bushey School of Yoga and will have been for some
time. In taking up the challenge of teacher training the good
name of Yoga and the respect of all teachers past and present
can be continued. This is our goal.
