I qualified as a Yoga Teacher in 1992 training with Paul Harvey on his Viniyoga Practitioner course. I continued studying with Paul for a further 9 years, as an individual student, doing retreats and study days.
A part of this training process was to spend some time in India studying at the Krishnamacarya Yoga Mandiram and I was fortunate enough to be part of a group studying with TKV Desikachar on several occasions.
I have taught in many varied situations including Schools(students and staff), special needs residential care, businesses, the NHS, and for 12 years I taught yoga and meditation in prison, something which I found both challenging and rewarding. As a result of working in prisons I completed a Diploma in Counselling from 2001- 2003.
In 1995 I met Hart deFouw for an Indian astrology reading and was so intruigued by the experience that it was instrumental in starting me on a course of study in Jyotish (astrology) and palmistry with Hart in the UK and completed his trilogy of foundation courses in 2003 and other specialist courses with Hart and his student Steven Highburger.
In my own yoga teaching and practice I am increasingly influenced by the work of F.M Alexander and have now qualified as an Alexander Technique Teacher after completing a four year teacher training course. I am extremely interested in how we can learn to move more freely and with less effort not just when doing yoga but also in our everyday activities.
I completed an Ayurveda training with Ann Johnston in 2016 and am currently undertaking a psychosynthesis training with Mark Jones and Keith Hackwood.
When I work with clients I draw upon what I have learnt, and continue to learn, from my studies of Yoga, Ayurveda, Indian Astrology as well as Psychosynthesis.
At present I live in Herefordshire with my wife, Eve, an artist, and three children.
