Yoga Mind & Body

Yoga Mind & Body is a modern yoga teaching organisation aiming to make the world a better place for more people by getting them into yoga. We take yoga seriously - but not too seriously! Classes are in Camberley, Surrey and Hartley Wintney, Hampshire.

I founded Yoga Mind & Body to create a professional yoga organisation where yoga is taught in an authentic but contemporary way, with the ultimate aim of making the world a better place for more people. I got interested in yoga in 1967 aged eleven. I thought that if The Beatles do it then yoga must be cool!

I then entered into a lifetime of keeping fit and holding down a pretty demanding career in the Metropolitan Police. At 39 I was heavily into cycling and consigned to a desk job. I started to suffer acute back-pain and sciatica related to a herniated disc which occurred when I was young. I realised I had to try something different.

Yoga was perfect. It helped me keep fit, was an excellent counter-measure to my more vigorous activity and helped to settle my mind. As I got older the more I practised, until I got to my fifties when I found yoga gave me what I needed to keep healthy and happy.

I believe that yoga has so much to offer society as an affordable, efficient and effective health and fitness activity. It could save the NHS millions and raise the quality of peoples lives. It also has much to offer in the workplace, care-homes, education, the military, and in prisons.
