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.) and ran his own clinic for a further six
years. From this experience Peter learned 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 a course in herbs and has
been to Sri Lanka to further his knowledge of T.C.M..
Peter completed
a 182 page yoga book in August of 2007 (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.
