Overview

Chris has been practising yoga for over 10 years; it began as he progressed into more senior positions in Primary Education where Chris soon realised the improvement in his mental well-being as a result of movement, meditation and breath. Regular practice allowed Chris to take his experiences off the mat and into school; it helped create mental clarity and calmness; increased body awareness; relieved professional stress patterns and relaxed the mind, centred attention and sharpened concentration. Yoga has profoundly changed Chris' outlook and he actively approaches his role as Headteacher from a place of compassion.

Having spent 30 years in Primary Education Chris is highly skilled at storytelling, adding magic, awe and wonder whilst infusing asana into teaching sessions.

Chris also has a passion for cold water swimming, focusing the mind through breath-work when immersing into extremes enabling a holistic approach to well-being, reducing stress, improving sleep and boosting energy levels.

Chris has completed a transformational 300 hour Ashtanga Vinyasa teacher training course studying under Senior Teacher Catia Leite at SPACE Yoga Studio in Brighton and 35 hour Yin TT with Senior Teacher Louise Windsor at The Yoga Garden. His classes are varied and are accessible for all levels. Chris likes to bring some fun and uplifting energy into his classes and takes you through a moving meditation: an energising flow, gently warming up, building strength and heat, stretching deeply with a Nidra style Savasana. Chris likes to follow a theme incorporating the 5 Elements and deep relaxation into his Yin Yoga classes allowing students to find their edge, find stillness and drop into their bodies.

    I really enjoy Chris's classes. He has a very grounded, positive and playful energy and the sequencing is strong but allows students to take it to their own level too. Chris holds a space really beuatifully and invites students to really tap into their own physical and energetic body. If you want to have fun, be challenged and come back for more, I highly recommend doing yoga with Chris!

    Chris is such a wonderful teacher. I was new to yoga and have always struggled to stick to any sort of exercise for more than a couple of weeks - but I loved these sessions, and really felt the benefits on my mental and physical well-being. I’m very grateful to Chris for setting up these classes and introducing people like me the wonderful world of yoga. Chris is also an excellent instructor. He gave clear guidance and also structured the classes so they would be suitable for all levels of experience and capability. Thank you Chris!

    Thank you patcham infants for the wonderful yoga class led by Chris. It has been a small circle of calm in a hectic and stressful year. The class was fantastic for a beginner like me and allowed me to go at my pace. I have noticed I am less stressed, have less shoulder pain and sleeping better and now want to make yoga a regular part of my week.

    I have never done yoga before this course. To be completely honest, I wasn’t sure if it was going to be for me. Chris has completely changed my mind on that! Not only does he have a calming presence, but he is patient and I find his directions really easy to follow without looking up. He also accommodated my sweaty hands (!) by buying some chalk which allowed me to focus properly on the poses. I would highly recommend Chris and am looking forward to continuing.
