Kevin has studied and practised yoga and meditation for over 30 years, and has been teaching yoga in Gloucestershire since 2000. He trained extensively and rigorously in Iyengar system, in which he is qualified. His style of teaching is deeply rooted in his Iyengar training, and is additionally informed by other approaches to yoga, as well as the practice of Mindfulness. He sees the practice of yoga as a means to developing greater compassion and self-acceptance.
Kevin practises yoga within a context of Mindfulness, rather than Hindu texts and philosophy. His practise is continually informed by meditation practise. Contrary to popular belief, yoga is essentially an awareness practice, rather than a series of stretching movements, the aim of which is to still and centre the mind, which takes us out of our heads and into our bodies in preparation for the practice of meditation.
With regular practice we learn to listen to and explore our body-mind, which can lead us to develop a more harmonious relationship to ourselves and the surrounding world. A strong, healthy, body and a calm, clear and compassionate mind enable us to live and enjoy life to its full potential.
