Erling McCracken
With over two decades of experience teaching yoga, I specialise in integrating evidence-based movement theories with Scaravelli-inspired yoga principles. My approach emphasises functional movement patterns and modern understanding of body mechanics, while honouring Vanda Scaravelli’s revolutionary insights about the body’s natural intelligence. This combination makes yoga accessible to everyone, regardless of age or physical ability.
I created this course to bridge the gap between contemporary movement science and Scaravelli’s profound understanding of how the body works. By focusing on the spine as the engine of movement and incorporating both proven principles of functional movement and Scaravelli’s teachings about gravity, breath, and spinal awareness, this program offers a progressive approach that’s especially relevant for today’s lifestyle challenges.

The Yoga itself demanded focus, and was at times quite intense, but the good pace of this work and time for rest, both during and between sessions, gave great room to become far more self aware. The learning created by Erling’s subtle and personal approach has given me a great opportunity for growth. Clearly the methods he uses have been gained with great experience.
