Description
One to One Scaravelli inspired Yoga
One to one Yoga sessions enable me to assess your body map and advise how best to practice yoga. A course allows the student time, space, and privacy to relate any concerns, particular interests they have or approach through their practice. For the teacher, it’s an opportunity to look closely at how the student is working with their Yoga practice.
Scaravelli Inspired Yoga is a contemporary yoga style. We (humans) are a neurological organism that reacts to our environment; how we have responded has shaped us throughout our lives. As children, we repeat movement patterns that become habituated. As we grow and age, we will develop our own unique body map.
These movement patterns need practice regularly. If we don’t, we lose mobility. In the modern world, we are not active enough. If your mapped patterns restrict compliant whole-body movements, stiffness in joints and other complications can occur. Yoga, therefore, provides a framework to address these patterns.
What to expect
I can assess your range of functional movements and help you understand your body map. Important information that you can help yourself heal. Your body has its intelligence, and I can help you find it.
The feeling of Yoga
The sense of feeling is essential in Scaravelli yoga, noticing the sensations the central nervous system provide you. Listening provides a framework for how you respond to sensory input. We work the lines of support your skeletal bones offer. Minimising the effort needed to attain the movement, shape, or asana means the large external muscles can work less. They can release and relax. As a result, when there is less tension that you find more movement. More fluidity, and your spine can move more freely. Freedom has always been the goal in Yoga.

Whilst on holiday on the Isle of Wight I had three 1:1 sessions with Erling in which we worked mainly with my feet, changing the way I place my feet from an eversion to a balanced position. What a difference it has made! I find myself walking faster and with greater ease. Weeding my flower bed was nearly enjoyable and I can stand in a tree pose without wobbling, something I could not do at all beforehand. I sit and walk so much taller that husband wondered whether I had grown!
Throughout the sessions Erling took his lead from me, making the practice free from the strain and struggle I have experienced in other yoga classes, yet at the end of each practice I was exhausted. Erling also taught and instilled into me an awareness and respect for my own movement needs. So, rather than just following instructions I now monitor whether a posture is actually helping to increase movement range or whether I am actually just straining myself for the sake of a posture and thus creating more blocks in my body. Erling also very skilfully gave me an introduction to anatomy when it was needed which also helps me now to decide where I need to adjust my movements, e.g. my lumbar spine.
I think Erling is an excellent, very knowledgable teacher, who I experienced as someone who works with his clients and skilfully adopts the postures to the needs of the client rather than adjusting the client to the posture. I am looking forward to my next stay on the island and more 1:1 lessons with Erling and Scaravelli inspired yoga.

I fractured my sacrum (lower back) eight months before i started my first ever yoga class with Erling. I had a six week one to one course. On arrival Erling made me feel very relaxed as i was quite nervous. My main problem was movement and confidence to bend due to my back injury. By the end of my course i felt much more confident to do things i had not been able to do since my injury thanks to Erling’s encouragement, knowledge and expertise. I would definitely recommend him.
