John Scott - Personal Biography

John has been a dedicated and direct student of Shri K. Pattabhi Jois since 1989, having been introduced to Ashtanga vinyasa yoga by Derek Ireland. Since then, he has continued to develop his practice while teaching and sharing the practice with other students on the path of yoga.

In 1995, John was certified to teach Ashtanga yoga by Guruji. John incorporates design and yoga philosophies, adding a very precise, detailed and colourful metaphorical presentation to his teaching. His highly individual, analytical and sensitive approach touches deeply the students who work with him, resulting in a strong following. John now mainly focuses on spreading his understanding of the vinyasa count in international workshops as well as locally in Cornwall, England.

John's teaching reputation is worldwide, and his best-selling Ashtanga Yoga book and counted Primary Series DVD are fundamental resources for many yoga practitioners. John is currently writing informative books based on the counted method.

John is also known for his illustrations/charts of Ashtanga yoga primary, intermediate and advanced series which have been published in Ashtanga Yoga by Lino Miele, and which continue to circulate worldwide.
