Yoga by appointment
A love of yoga has spanned decades, bringing consistent discipline and gentle dynamism. I became curious about all that is yoga as a child in 1970s London at my girlfriend’s house. Her mother and aunt were ‘doing yoga’ in the front room, the door was shut and all we had was a keyhole! Roll forward to a jam-packed hall in student Manchester, the interest of ‘being a yoga aspirant’ began. Through my twenties, thirties and forties, and into my fifties, I have yoga’d, sometimes more, sometimes less.
Yoga is a great teacher as are three children. Fourteen years of teaching, I teach a slow and steady class based on key movement principles – developing the breath, yielding to gravitational forces, steady alignment, spinal integrity, naval expansion and returning to the quieter mind, inspired by the great Donna Farhi, among others.
As artist, the curiousity of our sacred geometry found in yoga asana and their orientations continue to inspire.
To interested students, I offer sequences of intelligent spaciousness, and pursue a willingness to engage in a creative, quiet sense of self.
