Aidan Love

Bio:

Aidan started attending Iyengar yoga classes in London in 1997 and was instantly drawn to it. It helped to give him freedom from a long-standing back problem and he also enjoyed the calming effects on the mind that the practice brings. He completed the Iyengar two-year introductory teacher-training programme in 2006, and currently holds a Level 3 certification. Aidan has been lucky enough to study over long periods with some very experienced teachers in the UK including Glenys Shephard and Sheila Haswell. He has also been fortunate enough to be taught by Geeta Iyengar, Abhijata Iyengar, Gulnaz Dashti, Stephane Lalo and many other inspiring teachers from other countries too. Aidan hopes to share the benefits of yoga with those he teaches. He believes that yoga can help everyone to realise their potential and live more balanced and fulfilled lives. His experience is that the practice of yoga equips us to rise to the challenges of our bodies and the stresses of life, as well as directing us inexorably towards a more connected relationship with our inner selves and the wider world. He has an established Pranayama and meditation practice as well as a fascination with many different aspects of Indian Philosophy. He likes to weave aspects of Yoga philosophy into his classes. Aidan moved to Istanbul in 2009 and has been teaching at various studios there since moving there. He continues his other work as a musician/producer and also as a director of Heliotrope Yoga Holidays.. He currently divides his time between Turkey and the UK.
