Glen Butcher started practicing hatha yoga in New Zealand 19 years ago. He has been teaching under the guidance of Natanaga Zhander (Shandor Remete), the founder of Shadow Yoga, for 10 years.

Glen initially undertook a two-year teaching apprenticeship in London at a school that specializes in individual instruction in small groups. He went on to assist John Scott (author of 'Ashtanga Yoga') in Mysore practice classes and to teach at Triyoga, one of Europe's largest yoga centers.

Both Glen's practice and teaching are strongly influenced by his ongoing training with Zhander, who has inspired him to pursue personal studies in Ayurveda and the ancient hatha yoga texts. Glen is also currently studying Sanskrit at the University of Hawaii.
