As a child Ben was fascinated by the illustrated Yoga book gathering dust on the shelf at his family home. Some years later he took the book with him on a whim before returning to university and began to explore the Yoga within the pages. It was two years before he attended a Yoga class, which was taught by a Traditional Yoga Association® teacher and brought about a remarkable and profound healing within him over time. He has tried many different types of Yoga and brings that experience with him to his popular classes. Ben teaches in the beautiful countryside throughout Somerset and Wiltshire and gives private Yoga sessions to individuals, partners and families.

“We all hold much tension and stress deep inside ourselves. It manifests itself as shallow breathing, sore muscles, scattered thoughts, mental and emotional vulnerability, frequent illness, fitful sleep, and a lack of love, energy and inspiration. Yoga was gifted to us by some very wise people thousands of years ago to help unburden us of this heavy and unnecessary load. Yoga reaches deep inside our body to massage muscles and caress internal organs. It nourishes joints, strengthens bones and awakens the heart. It seeks out emotional pain buried deep within our soul and gently eases it clear bringing a sense of release, followed by calm and contentment. It restores breath, bringing life-giving oxygen to every cell in the body. ”

“Through asana we reintroduce ourselves to muscles that have long since resigned themselves to a lifetime of painful armoured tension. Yoga releases their pain, allowing them to be long and strong again, and they are immediately grateful. With this increased awareness of ourselves comes a clear and blissful understanding that, far from being a burden we carry on our shoulders, life is meaningful and good. Equipped with the inner strength to feel tenderness, joy and sorrow without shutting down, we can finally be free. Yoga enables us to understand and love ourselves more deeply, and therefore others, and the best aspect of all, anyone can do it.”
