Overview

Glenn Johnson

My name is Glenn Johnson and I  began my Yoga journey over twenty years ago- whilst studying Acting at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art,  I was introduced to yoga by my dance teacher Ed Clarke (the founder of Tirpsichore Yoga Theatre Company) who was an early inspiration. Yoga proved to be an ideal antidote for the stresses and strains of the acting life. I was then taught for a number of years by senior local yoga teacher Alison Brooks.

Training

In time I chose to train as a yoga teacher myself and was fortunate to have the opportunity to train with the Chekira Wholistic Trust under Brenda Brown - herself a pupil of the late Wilfred Clark (founder of the British Wheel of Yoga and later FRYOG). Brenda has now retired, after a career spanning over three decades.

Many inspirations

Throughout my career I have attended workshops with many inspiring teachers including; Peter Blackaby, Swami Saradananda, Julie Friedeberger, Sabine Blackaby-Schmidt, Bill Woods, Sophe Hoare, Alison Brooks, Judith Richards to name just a few.

Chair based yoga for the over 60's and the less able

In recent years, in addition to traditional Hatha Yoga classes, I have specialised in Chair-based Yoga for the elderly and the disabled and offer these classes weekly at four venues in the Woking area. I also offer talks and demonstrations of chair based yoga to interested groups and organisations.

Yoga For All Woking

I have now  been teaching for 12 years at a variety of venues, and, as the name of my company suggests, to a diverse range of students. I pride myself on having a flexible approach to teaching and take care to adjust style and content according to the ability, age and fitness level of my students. My motto is:

"No one should be excluded by age or infirmity from the practices of Yoga - Yoga is India's gift to the world- my mission is to make yoga available TO ALL " 

Workshops

This year I plan to teach  Workshops on The Chakra energy centres. and make them available as CPD courses to interested students

    I look forward to my weekly yoga class with Glenn. He makes it fun, enjoyable, as well as ensuring I work to the best of my ability and teaching me to listen to my body. I appreciate the time spent practicing meditation and mindfulness, which is a welcome distraction from my usual busy schedule.

    I have been going to Yoga with Glenn for well over 5 years, the class is brilliant for both experienced at YOGA or those who are beginners or may be suffering from aches and pains in our older years. Glenn always has extra tips and advice to help. The classes are good value for money and all the other ladies and gents are all so nice.

    I've been attending Glenn's yoga class for many years now, it's a great class for mixed abilities, he always checks that we are in the correct positions and offers a wide range of poses each week.

    teacher review

    I have been attend Glenn's yoga sessions for probably around 10 years. He is a very kind and patient teacher. HIs sessions are attended by a wide range of ages and he is always mindful of individuals who may have trouble with more challenging poses so will offer a good alternative. He takes time to observe and correct our poses when necessary but always in a helpful and polite way. I am happy to recommend Glenn.
