Gary teaches with a strong anatomical focus, has a degree in Anatomy and Physiology, and directs students in yoga’s physical and mental techniques with calm encouragement and a dash of humour.

 

Gary began practising yoga initially to bring some release and flexibility to his back, which often seized up painfully due to distance road cycling. He found the physical, mental and emotional effects of regular, sustained yoga so beneficial that he wanted to share the practice with others.

 

Gary trained and certified as an Iyengar yoga teacher with Alan Goode and began teaching in 2007.

Gilly teaches our Friday Gentle class.
