About Peter Scott

Peter Scott has been practicing yoga since 1977 and has devoted over 40 years to the art and science of yoga. The strength and power of Peter's teaching is an amalgam of all these years of study with the Iyengar family, teaching and learning about his students around the world, and at the core, his dedicated personal practice of Iyengar yoga.

He is much loved by students around the world for his ability to inspire and positively encourage the practitioner along the path of yoga, and for the clarity he creates when teaching. Peter's instructions and his approach to teaching leads the student into that penetration of awareness to where body, senses, organs of action, mind and intellect work together to give lightness of body and calmness of mind during the asana practice. Through his deep knowledge of yoga combined with his previous professional work and lecturer in Naturopathy and Remedial Massage, Peter has extensive knowledge of the body, its anatomy and physiology, and how that relates to yogic wisdom.

He is a Co-Director and Senior Iyengar Yoga Teacher based in Melbourne, Australia at Yoga Jivana (Yoga Life) Centre. He began teaching in 1982 and currently runs Teacher Training Courses and Workshops around the world.
