Having practised for more than 10 years, Peter was convinced of yoga's benefits and decided to train as an instructor to share his Hatha yoga experience with others. He completed the International Yoga Teachers' Association Diploma in 2004 and, six years later, continues to refine and extend the techniques he shares with his classes.
Peter's yoga classes are
modelled on the teachings of the late Indra Devi, who recommended a
daily practice of yoga postures and breathing techniques. Devi
encouraged her students to adapt her lessons to suit their
individual needs and circumstances.
Disciplined, regular yoga
practice helps overcome the physical and mental tensions that
restrict the body and mind, by developing flexibility, strength,
stamina and vitality.
"To a mind that is still the
whole universe surrenders."
-Chuang Tzu

Eleven enthusiastic "yogis" participated in Palmerston North's session, led by Yoga Instructor Peter McDermott, at the 'Be Still' yoga studio at 37 Cambridge Street in Milson (pictured).
This year World Yoga Day was held in support of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF, also known as Doctors without Borders) an independent international humanitarian organisation that delivers emergency medical aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural and man-made disasters or exclusion from health care in more than 60 countries around the world. All donations will be passed on to this worthy cause.
In emergencies and their aftermath, such as the recent devastating earthquake in Haiti, MSF provides essential healthcare, rehabilitates and runs hospitals and clinics, performs surgery, tackles epidemics, carries out vaccination campaigns, operates feeding centres for malnourished children and offers psychological support. When needed, MSF also constructs wells and dispenses clean drinking water and distributes materials like blankets, plastic sheeting and other basic necessities.
