Bram Williams is an experienced yoga teacher and teacher trainer. His first love, however, is Kum Nye.
Having trained in many styles and forms of yoga over more than 20 years, Bram’s teaching approach is flexible and adaptable to the needs of a particular group (or individual). The emphasis of his teaching vocabulary stresses both breath release and attention on relaxation in movement so awareness is directed to the 'sensation' of the posture, rather than on a body aesthetic or idealised end result. Bram is currently teaching on Nyingma Netherlands Caring for Yourself course.
Bram is also a qualified Lip-Reading Tutor.
