OVER TWENTY YEARS OF PRACTICE, STUDY AND RESEARCH<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Training<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I teach drawing on my extensive experience, gained through more than two decades of study and dedication. Each course is developed by combining the tradition of yoga with anatomy, biomechanics and Eastern medicine, as well as by exploring the connections between humanity and nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three things I won\u2019t compromise on<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rigour.<\/strong> I come from a background in scientific research and have never stopped working in that way. What I teach you is grounded either in empirical, evidence-based principles or in logical explanations, and if something isn\u2019t, I\u2019ll say so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experience over dogma.<\/strong> You don\u2019t learn about yoga or nature just by listening to people talk about them. The training courses I offer have a solid theoretical foundation that will give you confidence, whilst never losing sight of the importance of practice and experience. What enters through the body stays with you; what enters only through the mind is forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Care groups.<\/strong> I\u2019d rather have small class sizes and genuine support than packed classrooms. Learning requires someone to see you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
