Marcela Enriquez Wakeham
Principal teacher on Still Flowing Yoga Teacher Training
Marcela is a senior yoga teacher, Qi Gong and pilates instructor and specialises in teaching experiential anatomy and physiology through movement.
​
From a deeply introspective practice and experiential knowledge Marcela has developed clear insight and understanding of the anatomy and physiology of movement, which she expresses in a uniquely fascinating and accessible way.
​
Marcela’s teachings are deeply rooted in a somatic sense of self and the perspective of one’s own life experiences which encompass body, mind and spirit. By bringing our attention to the inner-self, our breath and felt sense, she believes we can use movement to increase awareness and establish deeply restorative states of meditation.
​
Marcela’s early career centred around dance and choreography. She is authorised to facilitate Dance of Awareness™ workshops, a therapeutic dance form, licensed by Tim Brown and Clare Osbond – the creators of this group based therapy. In her own practice she is a devoted practitioner of Continuum Movement.
