#19 - Keen on Yoga Podcast with Lucy Crawford Scott

Lucy began her interest in a more holistic approach to life working from 1990 as a massage therapist and aromatherapist in London. On her way to work one day she was intrigued to see a long line of people queuing down the road with yoga mats to get into an adjacent building. She joined them and this is how she began her study of Yoga with the hugely popular Derek Ireland and Radha Warrell visiting London to teach an Ashtanga workshop.   Shortly after, Lucy travelled to Mysore, India to begin her studies with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. In 1995 Lucy received authorisation to teach. This was the same year she started a family with John Scott whom she met on her first trip to Mysore. Lucy was an instrumental contributor to the book Ashtanga Yoga with Lino Miele. Long before the internet, this was the first of its kind in recording the vinyasa count that so qualifies the practice. Lucy currently leads Ashtanga workshops in the UK and internationally.  She is baed in Devon where she is a craniosacral tutor at the Karuna Institute. Years of experience in holistic boydwork and ashtanga yoga define Lucy's gentle and profound energy when teaching.
