Narelle Carter-Quinlan

Narelle Carter-Quinlan offers online programs and live events in Yoga for Scoliosis, embodied spinal anatomy and embryology, and the lived experience of the Body-Land.

Renowned as a global leading exponent on yoga within an asymmetric body and the embodied spine, she is an anatomist by academic, experiential and yes, cadaveric training. Her unique body of work integrates the practice of yoga with imagery and photogrpahy informed by her journeys into the Australian land - her home.

Passionate about her subject and vibrantly engaging, Narelle has guest presented to sell out Workshops and lectures at Yoga Union Centre for Backcare and Scoliosis in New York City, has taught the spinal anatomy and scoliosis research component of Elise Miller's yoga for scoliosis Teacher Training in San Francisco, has taught in Europe, the UK, New Zealand, and of course, in her native Australia.

She presents her scholarly and movement research in yoga and the spine at International peer reviewed Conferences, including the World Congress for Low Back Pain, the World Dance Alliance Global Summit, International Association of Dance Medicine and Science, The Australian Osteopathic Convention, and twice at the Australian Yoga Therapy Conference.

Beloved for her uniquely beautiful, rich, information dense presentations, and deep, yet playful teachings on Spinal Anatomy, Narelle delights in illuminating the complex with originality, humour and story. With her formal training and apprenticeship in the Iyengar method of yoga unravelling close to two decades, Narelle's yoga and movement practice spans five. She is a dancer, choreographer and artistic director, currently researching House of the Broken Wing, a performative, film and written exploration of moving in a scoliotic landscape.

Most deep, is Narelle's ongoing signature enquiry of the body as felt, known, poetic space; consciousness within our interior terrain. Her Embodied Terrain Photography© juxtaposes aspects of our inner body and the the experience of the living, breathing Land (a good use for her Histology training!). She has self published a physical photo book, Australian Skin, which launched in May 2012 in New York City at Yoga Union Backcare, at her digital exhibition and movement-sound performance by the same name.
