Chris Swain

Chris Swain, our Anatomy and Physiology, Teacher Training course module teacher, is a prize winning graduate of the British School of Osteopathy where his training included a year of dissection at Guy's hospital. His extensive studies have further included Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine and Thai Massage. He has been practicing yoga for 24 years and teaching since 1986, holding a Junior Intermediate Iyengar teaching diploma. Currently working as an Osteopath in North London and Brighton he treats many yoga students and can see how knowledge of A & P can help prevent injuries and empower practitioners to have a deeper relationship with their own practice.

Chris has developed an Anatomy and Physiology (A & P) course which is specifically tailored for yoga practitioners and teachers. Anatomy is not a dry and abstract subject with Chris. He brings the subject alive through an interactive style of teaching, which is enhanced by making use of visual images, 3D models and personal anecdotes.
