I teach Astanga Vinyasa Yoga, in the Mysore tradition of Sri T Krishnamacharya, and Vinyasa Flow Yoga based on ‘classical’ Astanga in Patajali’s Yoga Sutras. I teach both the Primary and Intermediate Series in regular classes and private tuition, in London and on international retreats. I also choreograph other vinyasa sequences suited to individual needs. Spiritual philosophy is integrated with breath and asana to reveal the spiritual path underlying the practice, and the technology to stabilise the mind and realise our true nature. I aim to inspire, challenge and exhilarate any level of practitioner. I'm a believer in the ancient yogic path to self-realisation.

I began practicing Hatha Yoga in 1986. In the past decade, my interest turned to Astanga Vinyasa Yoga and i've studied extensively with Sri K Pattabhi Jois and many of his senior students including John Scott, David Swenson, Matthew Sweeney and Rolf Naujokat. Nancy Gilgoff was my first astanga teacher and I've attended many of her 'Adjustment Clinics' to learn how to safely assist people in the Primary and Intermediate Series. I completed my Teacher Training certification with Richard Freeman (2004), and more recently studied asana, pranayama & kundalini metaphysics with Sri BNS Iyengar at the Patanajala Yoga Shala in Mysore (2008). On the Vinyasa Flow side of yoga, I completed the Tripsichore Yoga Theatre Teacher Training with Edward Clark (2002). David Life and Sharon Gannon (Jivamukti Studios) are also inspirational people and teachers.

I'm interested shamanic techniques and the tantric Buddhist path, especially Tibetan Nyingma tradition. I did a 10-day silent Vipassana meditation retreat in Myanmar (Burma) in 2006. I'm a certified member of Yoga Alliance (USA) 500 R.Y.T..
