Debbie Bhowmik
I started practising Yoga in 2005 to aid the recovery from an operation where a disc was removed from my lower back and as a result of the assisted nurturing process I instantly fell in love with all aspects of Yoga
As a consequence in 2015 I chose to pursue my studies and understanding of Yoga, travelling to Rishikesh, India where I successfully completed a 200 hour Yoga Teaching Training course.
I continue travelling to India several times a year to study with Pranam Yoga Joseph in Varkala. Joseph has not only allowed me to take my personal practice to a more profound level, but also my teaching methodology and understanding of Yoga. He is always very keen for me to stay longer in India and continually encourages me to assist him teaching.
I recently studied and qualified to teach Yoga Nidra, and is also a Reiki Master - the perfect compliment for yoga classes.
My journey as a Hatha Yoga Teacher has led to teaching in my home city of London. where I have taught small groups, bespoke early morning sessions in Grosvenor Square Mayfair, corporate sessions in private members clubs well as personal one to one sessions with selected clients . My other great passion for travel has allowed me to teach Internationally - from the unspoilt beautiful beaches of Thailand, to Colombia, Miami and across Europe.
My belief is that Yoga is a breathing exercise with movement, rather than a movement based exercise.
‘If you can breath you can do Yoga. I am passionate about teaching beginners and introducing them to the J.O.Y of Yoga including people with injuries. However I embrace more experienced students guiding and encouraging them to deepen their practice.There are no age limits; I have students ranging in age from 4-70“
There is always a sense of fun and adventure in my classes, as a result my students leave smiling from the heart. One of my mottos is
“Yoga is not a sport- you don’t have to win!”
I passionately believe, that neither age, language nor ability need ever should stand in the of way starting to practicing Yoga.
Going forward, I will be co-hosting retreats across the globe. Having visiting Colombia for the first time in 2018, I have already been asked to return next year as a guest teacher for Akhlia Om Yoga.
“ I feel very blessed I now get to combine my two great passions Yoga and Travel “
