Your Teacher
Peter Bisson
(I.Y.T.A., D.Ac., B.Sc., Cert. Mass.) began yoga in 1983
in Sydney, practising with various teachers. He began teaching
in 1992 while gaining his International Yoga Teachers Association
(I.Y.T.A.) diploma. It was at this time that Peter also
completed a certificate in Oriental Massage (Tui na).

Prior to teaching
yoga, he worked as a marine biologist in the field of marine
aquaculture.
The yearly retreat
to Lord Howe perfectly combines his love of yoga, sharing
Nature with other people, and his love of the sea.
In 1995 he finished
a three year diploma of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese
Medicine (T.C.M.). He runs his own clinic from home. From
this experience Peter learns much about energy flow and
health from the very practical and time honoured perspective
of T.C.M., as well as receiving an understanding of the
anatomy and physiology of the human body from a western
viewpoint. This knowledge together with the many different
approaches to yoga that he has learned from other teachers
has enabled Peter to develop a yoga practice that is both
traditional and yet innovative. The classes therefore incorporate
this understanding into general and specific stretches and
postures.
In the meantime he has completed two courses in herbs (Western
and Chinese) and has been to Sri Lanka to further his knowledge
of T.C.M..
Peter has completed
a 182 page yoga book (see details in 'About Peter Bisson',
above). It is designed as a user-friendly manual for the
beginner to intermediate practitioner. It contains loads
of photos and instructional text including meditations,
sequences, and variations to suit anyone.
Peter has been
teaching yoga on a full time basis since 1992, having taught
the whole time in Brisbane, and also in Byron Bay and Bangalow
in northern New South Wales while living there between 1994
and 1998.
He now lives in
Auchenflower in an old Queenslander style house.
