Polly Griffiths teaches wholehearted yoga with honesty and realness, informed by her study of the Buddha Dharma (teachings), and by her training within the Ghosh yoga tradition. Based on traditions shared by B C Gosh, this lineage from Kolkata is therapeutically grounded and focuses on strength in the body and stillness in the mind. Polly is the only Advanced level instructor of this methodology in the UK.
Specialising in practices that promote strength, balance, functional health and mobility, Polly’s approach emphasises progress and improved confidence and understanding. This yoga method is informed by the practices and traditions developed by Hathayogi and body-builder Bishnu Charan Ghosh, a major influence on the progress of modern yoga as exercise in India. Sometimes known as ‘Kolkata Yoga’, the practices shared by Ghosh and his students - including Bikram Choudhury - are linked to The Gheranda Samhita - the key 1700 hatha yoga text. Today, the Ghosh Yoga method seeks to integrate history and tradition with modern, evidence-based understandings. The tradition continues to be shared by Ghosh’s granddaughter Muktamala Mitra at Ghosh's Yoga College in Kolkata, and globally by Acharyas (masters) Ida Jo and Scott Lamps - with whom Polly trained.
Polly has shared yoga in California, New Zealand, and Thailand as a travelling teacher. She now teaches regularly at studios in Cambridge and London as well as at festivals, special events and retreats - including at Dhanakosa, the Buddhist retreat in Scotland.
