"This was the first yoga workshop I have attended and I was not disappointed. From start to finish this was a learning process, each pose was explained, what it symbolises along with focusing on balance and posture. The meditation and chanting were excellent and Iain made the chanting both interesting and fun. Iain is a brilliant teacher and I left the workshop feeling uplifted, peaceful and feeling like I had learned a lot about the different poses and their meanings."

About Iain:
I found Yoga when I started attending lunchtime sessions away from a busy 9-5, during a time when I was struggling with what I now know to be chronic stress and anxiety. I didn’t know what magic was at play, all I knew was that Yoga made my brain be quiet even if just for 45 minutes. Since then, Yoga has been a pivotal tool in dealing with my anxiety and I consider it a genuine privilege to be able to share it with others now as a teacher.
In my classes, you’ll find philosophy weaved in with a solid grounding in anatomy, plus all the cheerleading you may need. Above all else I encourage everyone to move in a way that quite simply feels good to them at that moment. Whether it’s a fiery flow or a grounding Yin practice, my job is to help people feel at home on the mat. To explore, be curious, connect to themselves and find a sense of pride – all the while knowing I’m there to support as much or as little as needed.
I’m a self-confessed yoga nerd and I truly believe this powerful practice has the capacity to change lives.
