Nigel Marshall - Personal Biography
Nigel Marshall has been practicing Ashtanga yoga since 2001. He is a direct student of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and is authorized to teach by the K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute in Mysore, India. He was first taught Ashtanga yoga by KPJAYI-certified teachers Alex Medin and Maia Heiss at London's Yoga Place. Since then, he has practiced with many certified and authorized teachers and regularly returns to Mysore to practice with Sharath Rangaswamy. The glorious results of a misspent youth--unhealthy choices in recreation and consumption--have meant that advances in the practice have not come quickly or easily to Nigel. He endeavors to remain content practicing the primary and intermediate series of asanas. In 2004, Nigel's teaching experience began with his assisting authorized teacher Saisha Petersen. He began teaching professionally in 2005. Nigel considers his teaching style to be particularly influenced by his teachers Rolf and Marci Naujokat, as well as by his own patient struggle to overcome stiffness and injury. He emphasizes care and alignment within the context of a traditional Mysore-style class. Nigel currently teaches the Mysore program at Absolute Yoga in Bangkok, Thailand. Nigel was a student of practical philosophy and meditation at London's School Of Economic Science for ten years. He remains in touch and influenced by the school and is enthusiastic about the ideas of Gurdieff and Ouspensky, Krishnamurti and Sri Shantananda Saraswatti, amongst many others. Nigel also takes a keen layman's interest in general health and nutrition, Ayurveda and other forms of natural holistic medicine. And no biography about Nigel is complete without a mention of his intense interest in and love of music. More about Nigel: About personal biography pages
