YOUR TEACHERS

John Scott, Julia Scott, Ale Sai, Ira Calixto, Ram Curbelo, and Madhu Anand are a collective of experienced practitioners all on a path to Self Realisation and each and everyone has a passion to Share.

John Scott

John has been a student of Yoga, of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga since 1987,  however during retrospective reverie, John realises that much of his early years at school were spent daydreaming – “eyes fixed out through the window as if travelling to another dimension of reality..”

When does one start yoga? John questions and believes that once you start to question; where are you, where have you come from, what are you, what are you doing and where are you going? When these questions percolate and bubble to the surface, you become aware you are already on the Journey of enquiry, the enquiry into your true nature and purpose for being here on this physical plain. It is through the practice of AVY and deep enquiry into the self that John has brought all his earlier experiences and meditations into his life work of sharing.

John’s teaching is therefore very metaphorical, analytical, technical and often humorous, his teaching style appeals to students of many backgrounds and nationalities, teaching workshops throughout the world. John remains an avid student of yoga and relationship fascinated by the linking of different traditions and cultures through symbols, language and the Counted Method of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga.

Julia Scott

Actor, Yogini and Singer. Julia began her spiritual journey, first with Iyengar Yoga and Buddhist Meditation. For 10 years Julia was fully involved in acting life and performed in many Polish and  international film projects. This full on self-centred life experience brought her to the point of understanding that something very important was missing, her true self.  To feel for-filled, an inner transformation was necessary, that was the moment that Julia was introduced to Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, it became so clear to her that this one dynamic practice encompassed an inner journey of self-expression and deep discovery. Julia fully immersed herself in the practice and sharing the gems of AVY. Now when Julia is teaching and adjusting yoga asana, she draws from her multiple disciplines incorporating and integrating relationship skills so that the student feels met, held and supported, allowing for their inner expression to be articulated. After Sound Meditation Training, frequencies and sound are inseparable elements of her sharing. Julia’s gift is her voice, when joining her in mantra without realising, the students’ voices begin to harmonise and oneness pervades the space.

The synergy of Julia and John’s two energies fuel a collective experience of play, adventure, discovery and a resulting sense of belonging.

Ale Sai

Ale Sai is indigenous to Mexico and has the gift of not only melting cacao she also melts hearts when she sings. Growing up with a father who was a talented Kirtan Musician Ale Sai has naturally followed that path and embodies all the characteristics of Bhakti and Devotion. She is a wonderful space holder in Cacao, Kirtan, Temazcal and many other ceremonies. It is a pleasure to have Ale Sai as one of our special ceremonial space holders.

Ira Calixto

Born in Brazil of an indigenous native mother, as medicine-midwife and a Brazilian father of African roots. Ira grew up with the traditions and teachings of herbs, prayers, songs, drums and dancing. Conscious of the nature and healing power of the plants, of the earth and all the elements.

She arrives in Mayan lands Mexico in 1994. From that time until now she remains in love with these magical mayan lands, where she connected with indigenous teachings, traditions, worldviews and ancestral philosophies. Initiated as a Guardian of Sacred Fire and the Cacao Ceremony.

Ira is also certified in the Traditional Chinese Medicine of Acupuncture and finally it is our pleasure to have Ira facilitate at this retreat her expertise in Sound Therapy and will be Facilitating with her husband Ram the ceremony and application of the medicine Kambo.  

Ram Curbelo

Born in Argentina with native and European roots, Ram is a multidisciplinary artist, yogi, musician, Sound Therapist and nutritional educator. For the last eightteen years he has been exploring the world of meditation, music and sound therapy. Certified from the Instituto Español De Sonoterapia, Ram continues to dive deeper into the frequency of sound meditation studying with Rabenstein Istvan Sky (Hungary) and Tito La Rosa ( Peru). Ram also facilitates workshops in the practice and rituals of serving sacred plants and medicines. It is our pleasure to have Ram and Ira holding space at this retreat providing the ceremony and application of the medicine Kambo and to guide us through a mystical journey of sounds that will take us deep into our inner ocean of stillness and peace. 

Madhu Anand

Mexican by birth, Madhu discovered Bufo Alvarius – EL SAPITO at a time in his life when he most needed a Miracle, the healing and transformation was life changing. “EL SAPITO gave me the peace and healing that I had sought all my life. It completely surrounded me in white light. I finally let go of all the shame, doubt and confusion and was able to forgive myself. In that space, I encountered my truest self. The experience was so profound, it moved me to start sharing the medicine and to date I have 1000 registered cases. Every soul I witnessed being healed brought me incredible joy.”
