John Scott and Julia Scott in conversation with Amy Hughes

John Scott has been practicing Ashtanga yoga since 1987. He was introduced to the practice by early Ashtanga yoga pioneers Derek Ireland and Radha Warell at the legendary Skyros/Practice Place in Greece. John is greatly respected and loved by his students (of whom Amy Hughes is one).
John’s Teaching: John still practices and explores the techniques of the counted method of Ashtanga passed to him and is continually discovering new meanings to the gems of wisdom that Pattabhi Jois left for his students to pass on. He connects to yoga practitioners with refreshing insight into the practice on a physical, anatomical and spiritual levels and is constantly improvising new and unique ways to engage and inspire practitioners with ashtanga and the counted method.

John Worldwide: In John’s mission to pass on Pattabhi Jois’ Counted Method he travels the World literally Counting – he learns to count in the national language of his host (usually his host is a graduate of John’s teacher training) to bridge the cultural ‘gap’ (“mind that gap because therein lies extra ordinary wisdom”) and thus he draws the community in to the shared language of yoga – Sanskrit. From John’s world adventure, sharing Jois’ teachings, an ever growing International Yoga Community is blossoming.
