I am Debbie Bhowmik, London-based Chromatic Yoga & Inside Flow Yoga Teacher.  I am the first certified Inside Flow teacher in Central London, a Level 2 Chromatic Yoga Leader. Founder of J.O.Y - The Joy Of Yoga, I started practicing yoga in 2005 to aid the recovery from an operation where a disc was removed from my lower back and as a result of the assisted healing process I instantly fell in love with all aspects of yoga.

 

As a consequence, in 2015 I chose to pursue my studies and understanding of yoga, travelling to Rishikesh, India where I successfully completed my first Yoga Teaching Training course with Suddha Ananda Yogshala.

 

I continue to study to deepen my own practice & develop my teaching skills, travelling to India several times a year to study with Pranam Yoga Joseph in Varkala. Joseph has not only allowed me to take my personal practice to a more profound level, but also my teaching methodology and understanding of yoga. He is always very keen for me to stay longer in India and continually encourages me to assist him teaching. I have also travelled to the USA to study Anatomy & Inside Flow.

BIO

My journey as a Yoga Teacher has led to teaching in my home city of London where I have taught small groups, bespoke early morning sessions in Grosvenor Square, Mayfair, corporate sessions in private members clubs well as personal one to one sessions with selected clients.

My other great passion for travel has allowed me to teach internationally, from the un-spoilt beautiful beaches of Thailand, to Colombia, Miami and across Europe.

BELIEFS

6f9fa36b-05ab-4982-9c98-e4b485cbe690.jpg

My belief is that yoga is a breathing exercise with movement, rather than a movement based exercise.

 

If you can breathe, you can do yoga. I am passionate about teaching beginners and introducing them to the J.O.Y of yoga including people with injuries. However, I embrace more experienced students guiding and encouraging them to deepen their practice. There are no age limits; I have students ranging in age from 4 to 70.

 

There is always a sense of fun and adventure in my classes, as a result my students leave smiling from the heart. One of my mottos is: yoga is not a sport, you don’t have to win!

 

I passionately believe that neither age, language nor ability need ever stand in the of way practicing yoga.

 

Going forward, I will be co-hosting retreats & teaching across the globe. I feel very blessed that I’m able to combine my two great passions Yoga and Travel.

CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

Chromatic Yoga

Chromatic Yoga was created by Matt Giordano. It is a systematic approach to teaching that provides a highly intentional and well structured experience for students to cultivate awareness of their body and mind. Authenticity is our highest core value for the sake of cultivating a supportive and empowered community.

 

Chromatic Teachers provide you with "a step by step path toward a peak postures and/or philosophical teaching". To set you up to use your body for me in an intelligent way to practice Yoga & achieve your highest potential. Chromatic classes include either a physical or thematic “through-line” which provides you with the highest level of learning and integration

Inside Flow  

Inside Flow was created by Young Ho Kim and is an exciting, new way to practice Yoga. Inside Flow yoga is a combination of yoga, music and choreography, think of singing a song with your body.

 

Based on vinyasa flow, Inside Flow links yoga poses with smooth and controlled transitions and is practised to the rhythm of the music. The speed of the music defines the speed of the breath, making this an intense breathing practice. Inside Flow has different sequences with slow, fast, upbeat, relaxing songs starting from Hip Hop to pop music. It is an evolution of Vinyasa Yoga!
