    I’m Erling McCracken, and I’ve been teaching yoga for over two decades. My approach blends Scaravelli-inspired yoga principles with evidence-based movement science, integrating both biomechanics and neurology to support a practice that is deeply responsive to the body’s natural intelligence.

    Vanda Scaravelli’s approach revolutionised how we understand yoga. Instead of forcing the body into shapes, it’s about listening and finding your own path. Your practice focuses on releasing unnecessary tension to discover your natural grace.

    Rather than focusing solely on form, I explore functional movement patterns, proprioception, and the nervous system’s role in movement and awareness. This makes yoga more than just a physical practice—it becomes a way to reconnect with your body’s innate ability to move with ease, adaptability, and resilience.

    In my welcoming Isle of Wight studio, we explore these principles through movement that echoes real life—walking, sitting, standing, resting. Whether you’re new to yoga or refining your practice, my teaching is designed to be accessible to all bodies, helping you move in ways that feel natural, intuitive, and supportive.

    Understanding Movement in a New Way.

    Explore the essential elements of Scaravelli-inspired yoga through these key concepts.

    Begin by understanding how you naturally move. We’ll explore your individual movement patterns and discuss how they relate to your daily activities. This initial exploration helps you recognize both habits and potential in your own way of moving.

    Discover how breath influences your movement patterns. Rather than imposing a breathing technique, we’ll explore how your natural breath can support more efficient, comfortable movement in both practice and daily life.

    Learn how your spine is the engine of your movement. Through careful exploration, you’ll understand your unique spinal patterns and how they affect your overall movement. This understanding helps you move more freely in all activities.

    Develop confidence in understanding your own blueprint. Through questioning and exploration, you’ll learn to recognise what works best for your body, creating a more intelligent approach to movement.

    Shape a practice that truly serves you. By understanding your individual patterns and needs, we’ll develop an approach that supports both your yoga practice and daily activities.

    T. S. Eliot
