- June Mitchell
Perth Yoga Studio Founder
Today
June Mitchell has been a full-time professional yoga teacher since the late 1970s. Her initial training in 1976/77 was in Hatha Raja yoga with William Mowat Thomson at his Scottish Yoga Centre in Edinburgh. William was the man who brought yoga to Scotland from his many visits and trainings in the Indian Sivananda ashrams in the 1960s and 1970s and was a truly wonderful mentor, teacher and inspiration.She followed this with regular Iyengar yoga workshops in the 1980s and 1990s.
In the late 1990s June came across Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga and was so enthused with it that she went to Koh Samui to do further teacher training in Ashtanga Yoga in the spring of 2003 with world-renowned Certified Ashtanga Tutor, Paul Dallaghan’s Centred Yoga. She followed this in the winter of 2004 with a trip to Mysore to the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute where she had the great good fortune to be taught by the guru Sri Pattabhi Jois and his family who were all teaching at the AYRI at the time.
2003
In 2003 June set up the Chi Yoga School which in 2010 became the Classical Yoga School, a 12-month RYS200 Yoga Alliance teacher training programme which gives all CYS graduate teachers worldwide accreditation. It begins in September each year at Perth Yoga Studio and at her friend and colleague Judi Farrell’s Merchant City Yoga, Glasgow’s prominent yoga studio. June’s passion is always to guide all CYS students to become outstanding yoga teachers, bringing good health and wellbeing into our communities.
1981
In 1981 June and her husband James, whose idea it was, established Perth Yoga Centre at 7 Barossa Place where weekly yoga classes and weekend workshops in many interesting health awareness subjects were introduced to the community and which are now very much part of general health awareness.
Perth Yoga Centre was only the second yoga studio in Scotland at the time, after June’s teacher, William Mowat Thomson’s Scottish Yoga Centre in Atholl Crescent in Edinburgh.
William was the man who brought yoga to Scotland in the 1960s/70s and set up the first yoga teacher training course in Scotland. He was a wonderful, inspirational teacher and mentor and responsible for establishing yoga in Scotland, the teaching of which is worldclass in many areas of the country. Many of our excellent teachers have been taught by June and Judi Farrell through their Classical Yoga School teacher training courses at Perth Yoga Studio and Merchant City Yoga in Glasgow.
