Louise Grime

Louise first discovered yoga over 30 years ago. In 1989 she spent time at the Sivananda Ashram in Kerala where she completed their Teacher Training, the following year she became a member of staff at that ashram and completed the Advanced Teacher Training course. Since then she has travelled frequently to India to study, has trained and taught in ashrams, and has spent time at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune. Louise trained as an Iyengar teacher in 1994 and, whilst Iyengar is still her main influence, she has developed a softer more flowing approach in her teaching style. Her most important teachers have been BKS Iyengar and Shandor Remete, founder of Shadow Yoga, with whom she studied intensively for 8 years. Louise is the author of the book and DVD ’15-minute Gentle Yoga’, which has been translated into several languages and was distributed free with India’s most widely read news magazine, India Today. Louise’s approach to restorative yoga has been primarily influenced by Judith Lasater and Patricia Walden. Always a student, Louise continues to train at the Iyengar Institute.
