Hi, I'm Mike of Balance Sound Therapy and Yoga. I  teach traditional hatha yoga in and around Richmond North Yorkshire.

I have been practicing yoga since 2006 and for many years was a professional teacher. Although I have been interested in various aspects of physical culture (running, kettlebells, calisthenics and martial arts) for most of my adult life, it is traditional hatha yoga that has proved to be my path and has affected me most profoundly. 

Some years ago, I suffered a personal crisis and lost my balance. Yoga (and therapeutic sound) helped me get back up and find it again. Since then I have become passionate about the healing power and wellbeing potential of traditional hatha yoga. I want to share it with others, to help them find their balance, too.   

In September 2019 I qualified as a yoga teacher with the 200 hours YTT course at Spirit of Yoga, Spain, with Maggie Levien, head of Yoga Alliance International for Spain. The yoga system I was taught and now teach is in the method taught at Kaivalyadam Yoga Insititute.   

I am also currently completing a course with the British Academy of Sound Therapy and hope to qualify in June 2020. Watch this space!
