Morven HAMILTON

Trainer Pro, Senior Yoga Teacher

Morven Hamilton is a yoga teacher trainer and mentor based in Weston-super-Mare. Teaching since 2008, she specialises in yoga therapy and is also a qualified Mindfulness teacher. Morven leads a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training programme as well as specialist Yoga for Cancer training courses. Her work is rooted in a deep belief in yoga and mindfulness as powerful tools for healing and transformation—something she has witnessed in the lives of many students over the years. Following her own cancer diagnosis in 2019, Morven instinctively turned to her yoga mat the very next morning—a reflection of how central the practice is to her sense of self and wellbeing. Between 2010 and 2016, while working at Penny Brohn Cancer Care near Bristol, she developed Healing the Whole Person, her unique approach to Yoga for Cancer. Her work there was shaped by the charity’s integrative, whole-person philosophy of cancer support, which continues to inform her teaching today.
