About the Tutor
I\'m a British Wheel of Yoga trained Teacher with influences from the Iyengar, Astanga and classical Hatha Yoga traditions. I share my practice as a fusion of breath coordinated movements and classical postures which promote strength, flexibility and balance, culminating in a practice adaptable to all..
Having a background based in biology and an interest in different philosophical systems I discovered the benefits of Yogic practice in my late 20?s. As a life-long asthmatic I turned to the yogic breathing techniques when my doctor prescribed stronger medication for the condition. Instead of increasing the medication I am now almost totally free from the symptoms and medication.
Since the late 90\'s I have maintained a daily practice which has had a profoundly positive effect upon my physical and mental well-being. I am continuing to develop my practice and understanding of the principles and philosophy of yoga by exploring different approaches such as studying kalari piat (a yoga based martial art) and attending retreats lead by international teacher Clive Sheridan.
I have taught and led retreats in Europe, Middle East and India. My wish is to pass on my experience and understanding of yoga instructively, yet also with delight and passion. I teach regularly on the leading European Yoga website Ekhart Yoga.
I have recently married yogini Francesca Giusti. We enjoy sharing our passion for yoga at our studio Pure Yoga Cheshire in Macclesfield and with Workshops in the Uk, Ireland and Europe.
