Daniel Simpson is the author of The Truth of Yoga, a comprehensive guide to yoga’s history, texts, philosophy and practices. He teaches courses at the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies, and contributes to teacher trainings around the UK and internationally. Daniel holds a master’s degree in yoga studies from SOAS, part of the University of London, and his approach combines scholarly knowledge with humour and insight.

Anatomy & Physiology with Chris Swain
Chris graduated as an award winning osteopath from the British School of Osteopathy in 2000 after a four year full time course, with an honours degree in osteopathy. His university education included a year of human dissection studies at Guy’s Hospital in London. Combined with 30 years experience as a yoga teacher, he also specializes in teaching anatomy to yoga teacher trainees, being on the faculty for several yoga teacher training courses including Triyoga in London. Chris’s extensive knowledge and experience of anatomy, physiology and biomechanics will provide an exceptional education for yoga teachers to build their classes with understanding, clarity and integrity.
Sanskrit with Rosie Butterfield
I am a language graduate in French and Brazilian Portuguese from King’s College in London with a lifelong devotion to dance and movement. I completed an Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training in 2016 in Dharamsala after 4 months travelling from the south to the north of India. On returning to London, I embarked upon the study of Sanskrit at SOAS for one year. Later I moved to France and completed a three year Diplôme Universitaire in Sanskrit at Aix-Marseille University. It is my pleasure to share my passion for Sanskrit, language and yoga with you and I hope to inspire you on your journey.
