These lockdowns have made me lazy! But for the first time in two years, I've joined the lockdown online yoga teaching party, thanks largely to a close friend who called me up and said "Hey man, I'm starting an online wellness and fitness platform and I'd love for you to get involved!"...

Prana is The Force

As I sat there watching the incredible and fantastically awesome new Star Wars movie, 'The Last Jedi'. The old brain cogs started whirring and parallels were drawn between The Force and Prana (Life Force in yoga). I thought, yoga is Star Wars, Star Wars is yoga! Far out! Now I have thought this before in [...]
Minimalism & Yoga: Cultivating a Minimalist Lifestyle
Breaking The Mould

As with many things in life, opinions change, tastes change and expression changes. After teaching for just over a year and a half, I'm now a little more mature, skeptical and rebellious of the industry.

Pranayama – Breath Control. Nadi Shodhana – Alternate Nostril Breathing

Yoga isn't and has never been just Asana (Physical Postures). In fact all that is said in Patanjali' Yoga Sutras about Asana is: 'Asana is a steady and comfortable posture' (2:46 Patanjali, The Yoga Sutras). This is very different from how we view Asana these days. Anyway I wanted to post about something different, from [...]

Now as a Yoga Teacher, I understand, now more than ever, how Yoga can help Cyclists with injury prevention, injury recovery and better well being on and off the [...]
