Vaccasin

Vaccasin (and his wife Rebecca) owns Yoga Point Brixton where Vajrasati Yoga teacher Training found its home in South London. Vaccasin is on the Vajrasati Teacher Training Course and is completing the training over an extended period of time (due to other commitments) he is therefore on his third year of training with the school. Vaccasin and Jim ) school founder) share some history with Buddhist movements and with commonalities in previous yoga disciplines. Like all trainees in the school Vaccasin brings a lot to the table on TT. His extensive ‘previous’ means that he is a wonderful addition to the trainees on the course and is able to give as he continues to learn.

Vaccasin started practicing Iyengar yoga in Sydney, Australia in 1986 and started his teacher training with Peter Scott in Melbourne in 1990. He completed his teacher training at the Maida Vale Iyengar Institute, London in 1994.

Vaccasin developed the Yoga centre at the Croydon Buddhist Centre between 1991/97. He also taught at Bodywise (Bethnal Green) and Yoga Home (Stoke Newington) before moving to Bristol to set up City Yoga in 2001. After 7 years in Bristol, Vaccasin moved back to London to set up Yoga Point in Brixton. Having spent 12 years living and working in Buddhist communities (ordained into the Western Buddhist Order in 1993), Vaccasin’s yoga practice and teaching draws from this influence.
