My journey to yoga

I started practicing Yoga after breaking my leg back in 1999, initially just to get back my mobility but it proved to do much more than just this.  In 2007, after several years teaching in Thailand, working as a thai masseur and following other related persuits, I came across Teach Yoga.  Teaching yoga was a great fit to what I was already doing as it enables me to help people help themselves, which I believe can be much more empowering for my clients...

My teaching style

Inspired in my teaching are the following principals:
The foundation is key, as building on a solid foundation is the only way to build any structure.
Inversions are an important element to include and eventually become proficient in within our practice.  They offer a different psychological perspective, inprove balance and highlight elements of our practice that we may otherwise hide from.
Capturing our imagination is the best way to learn.  When we are interested, joyful and discovering that childlike playful nature it is really hard not to learn...
People make the best props!
