I am a yoga teacher based in York, UK. I trained with the British Wheel, qualifying in 1999 and am insured as a life member. I began learning yoga in 1991. A broken leg in 1992 made me take yoga seriously. I am now completely healed. In 1996 I began to teach and now train approximately 120 students a week at nine plus classes, and privately. My classes apply seasonal themes, Ayurveda and respond to student requests. As well as general classes I offer gentle classes for pregnancy and postnatal and baby yoga and sometimes Better Backs. Classes aim to empower people to be their own teacher and improve their health. I am on the Steering Committee of the University of York's Health Sciences Dept Trial on Yoga for Low Back Care - see www.yogatrial.co.uk. I have co written a manual on Yoga For Healthy Lower Backs and recorded a Back Care Relaxation CD, plus a general Relaxation CD. The Relax with Anna Semlyen Yoga in York CD has 4 x 15 minute relaxations on the themes of gravity, visualisation, breathing and pregnancy. This is £7.50 plus £1 for postage and packing to Anna Semlyen, 24 Grange St, York. I tutored at 2009 & 2010 BWY National Congress.
