Rowan Cobelli has been a full-time tutor and teacher trainer of Yoga for 24 years. His studies have taken him from the psychological to the spiritual, exploring the art of inner resolution and true rest. He grew up with a Roman Catholic family and schooling, lived for several years at a Tibetan Buddhist Meditation College, then experienced Ashram living whilst studying Yoga & Yogic philosophy.  He is interested in the complexity of human interaction, and subtle and determinant forces that inform behaviour, opinion, choices, and purpose. Rowan became fascinated by the non-dual path of inner communion, silence without effort, and direct recognition of the nature of Being. He is now particularly interested in the fine line between the direct experience of Self recognition, and the study of the very human journey of understanding and psychological integration. These explorations have taken him into the realms of trauma, shadow and repression, spiritual bypassing, and the brilliance and precariousness of the human defence mechanisms, and their roles in a more honest and emotionally developed life.
