Overview

Documented in the Pali Canon 29BCE is a rare form of Yoga once practiced by the Buddha. On reading this in 1996 I made it a life mission to learn and teach this. In the following years I frequently traveled around Asia to China, India, Sri Lanka, Japan learning from masters. 

The western name given to this yoga style is Lohan, this was to honour the Bodhidharma (Indian monk) who named one of the flow patterns Lohan. Lohan is Chinese for the Sanskrit word (( अर्हत् ) Arahant) word term for people far advanced along the path of Enlightenment, but who may not have reached full Buddhahood. I can’t promise you enlightenment if you learn Lohan, but guarantee you a unique Yoga experience.

    I have trained with Niel for a number of years, and throughout the whole time I have found him to be a very knoledgeabke Instructor. Niel is not only very knowledgeable regarding the subject he is teaching, but is also skilled at breaking things down into more understandable pieces. He is also good at understanding the best approach for one person does not work for another and takes time to ensure all teaching is applied in a way each student can understand. Overall I have enjoyed and value the time I have spent training with niel and look forward to future training.

    Meine Ehefrau und ich aus Deutschland, besuchten LOHAN YOGA Studio. Wir übten seither via Internet seine Yoga Stunden und machten spontan einen Trip nach Norwich. Einfach Klasse, genauso, wie er es virtual vermittelt, genauso vermittelt er es und sein Team, via Studio genau das- worauf es ankommt- Dafür sind wir sehr dankbar ,grad in der stressigen Zeit.
