SCARLETT DEE MEHIGAN is the Director and Founder of Tribe and the creator of the Tribe Yoga Teacher Training which has been running since Jan 2008 ....Born to Jamaican and Irish parents in England nowadays Scarlett spends her time in Europe during the winter and travels to Asian destinations during the winter. .
She has been practicing yoga and meditation for more than 17 years and shared her experience of yoga with students for 8 years. Her style originates from her years of practice and training in Ashtanga and Dynamic yoga. Through simple and clear instructions Scarlett offers a practical, light hearted, fun, creative, and spontaneous approach to yoga suited to both beginners and more advanced students. Her main source of inspiration comes from Godfrey Devereux who devised the dynamic yoga method and with whom she spent time as an apprentice and teacher trainee. Scarlett has also trained intensively with Larry Schultz where she learnt to 'fly' whilst training in his 'rocket sequence' which focuses on arm balancing postures and strongly influences her self-practice and teaching to her more advanced students. Scarlett's main focus is to guide students towards having the confidence and understanding to develop a self-practice and experience the transformative power of yoga which enriches and empowers them in life as they connect to their own inner wisdom and divinity. Her emphasis in her teaching is 'its not what you do but how you do it!' encouraging her students to journey inward and explore the possibility of culitvating awareness and aquiring concentration of the mind so they can enter into deeper states of meditation and ultimately move towards higher states of conciousness. As well as teaching yoga Scarlett complements her understanding of the body, mind and spirit as an accomplished and skillful massage therapist. Trained in 8 different styles of massage she has developed her own unique style of deep tissue remedial massage which, whilst honouring the individuality and needs of the peron she is treating, can help to create therapeutic and deeply relaxing results
“At the age of 20 frazzled by my circumstances and the age-long question ’what should I do with my life?’ I headed out to Asia. Through my travels encountering different people and places it became transparent that I was at my happiest either deep in the heart of nature or in a place of worship. So I travelled exhaustively through Asia and most extensively through India, which I had a special affinity for. A country deeply rooted in spiritual practices throughout the whole of its society, from which for thousands of years great teachings and teachers have emerged. I delved in and out of different yoga, meditation and spiritual endeavors for a number of turbulent years never really satisfied until I gratefully happened upon Ashtanga-the eightfold path and the teachings of Advaita when I met a teacher of great significance to my life …Godfrey Devereux. I enthusiastically spent time as his apprentice and completed a teacher training which gave me an in-depth understanding and experience of yoga. Under guidance I began to grasp the fundamentals to the practice of yoga, which led to realizations on and off the mat. Through a deepening appreciation and practice of meditation and asana, study of the Patanjalis sutras and the absorption of the teachings of Advaita, life began to make sense and I relaxed more and more into the flow. This was life-changing stuff! Yoga became an arena of discovery and exploration into my true nature and ultimately into the nature of life itself. On the mat concepts became experienced realities and the fuzziness of daily existence began to clear as my various practices offered deepening transformations in my emotional, physical and mental being.
Like any great joy in life…. Nature… laughter… friendship…love… I hope that the precious jewel of yoga is experienced throughout the world. I would love to see people live through the yoga teachings to explore their true nature and realize their full potential. It would be great if all of us that have been touched by yoga can find ourselves journeying inward with awareness, good intentions and a connection to our inner wisdom to enrich our own, and the lives of people all around us, with relaxation, peace, joy, smiles, laughter and most of all love. Most of all I would like yoga aspirants to rediscover yoga as a spiritual path, learning through the intergral teachings that have been graciously left to us by the great yogis, saints and spiritual master of our past.'" Scarlett has a passion for travelling and welcomes invitations to teach yoga classes, yoga retreats/holidays, yoga workshops and yoga teacher trainings anywhere in the world.
