Caroline/Satyadhara studied the British Wheel of Yoga’s Cancer module with Julie Friedeberger/Priya Shakti in 2016 and now runs yoga classes for people living with cancer at the Arden Centre at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust. She teaches eight classes each week (beginners and continuers level) in Earlsdon, Coventry. She also works with people with dementia and occasionally works on a one-to-one basis with people who aren’t ready or able to join a group class.  Satyananda Yoga is integral and awareness-based yoga which harmonises and balances all aspects of the being – body, mind, breath, emotions, psyche and spirit.

The Bihar School of Yoga in Northern India  was founded in 1964 by Sri Swami Satyananda Saraswati to impart yogic training to householders and sannyasins alike.  The Yoga techniques developed there are a synthesis of many approaches to personal development, based on traditional vedantic, tantric and yogic teachings in conjunction with contemporary physical and mental health sciences.
