Marie Groucott

I have been working with yoga for 12 years. I am a qualified yoga teacher and yoga therapist. I gained a 700 hour teaching qualification as an AYS and BWY accredited teacher with Sadhana Mala in 2008. I teach with respect to the traditions of Krishnamarcharya and T.K.V Desikichar.

Prior to yoga, I worked within the community in physical rehabilitation for adults, within community arts and as an advocacy worker with Realtime Video in Reading.

Teaching yoga enables me to integrate my work with my passion for yoga. Through yoga I aim to improve people's quality of life through transferring skills of self-nurture, independence and self-realization. The practice of yoga can offer all these things in an accessible and fun way at any level for any individual.

Through 'Gently Strong Yoga', I aim to bring yoga to Reading's diverse community.

I am married with three small children.
