In late 2018, I was interviewed by Here For You For Them on mindful parenting. In the interview, we covered topics such as how yoga has helped me cope with the pressures of being a dad, tips on yoga poses and mindfulness techniques to try when short on time and yoga in the UK national…

it’s the six-month anniversary of my Yoga for Men classes in Keynsham, Bristol. When I started these classes, I wasn’t sure whether there would be much interest in yoga classes exclusively for men. The popularity of these classes has proven what I suspected – that in the right environment, yoga can be hugely appealing to…

I was invited by international yoga teacher, Caleb Jude Packham to support his 50 Men. 50 Mats introduction to yoga class at the Re:Centre in London. The concept being to encourage more men of all ages and from all walks of life to get on the mat and practice yoga for the first time. Even…

I remember back to the 1st day of my 1st module on my yoga teacher training at Bristol School of Yoga. Laura Gilmore invited us to think about the ways in which we find balance in yoga. The yin and yang. The prana (energy flow inwards) and apana (energy flow outwards). Or in a physical…

I have mentioned before that the catalyst for my becoming a yoga teacher was by completing a 30-day yoga challenge on Do Yoga With Me. Around that time, I was also organising lunchtime yoga classes, beaming streamed Do Yoga With Me classes for my colleagues at my previous employers – Eunomia Research and Consulting in…

This week’s Yoga for Men classes in Bristol were fundraisers for Prostate Cancer UK. My blog last week highlighted why I am supporting such a worthy cause.

Over the past six months, I have been running popular Yoga for Men classes in Bristol. Coupled with my support for worthy causes through my Yoga for Charity classes last year, I have always enjoyed the opportunity to raise awareness for specific charities. At my Yoga for Men classes next week, I am proud to…

Over the past year, I have focused on running regular yoga classes – whether that’s Yoga for Men, Yoga for Charity or Yoga for Cyclists as part of a six-week programme. The classes all have one thing in common – their duration. I love running one hour classes, and the feedback I often receive from my…

As covered in last week’s blog, the media interest in YogaDad has snowballed over recent months. It’s been great getting so much regional and national coverage, shining a long overdue spotlight on my adopted home town, Keynsham in Bristol. Home is most definitely where the heart is though, so when Keynsham Town Community Radio got…

It’s been an impressive few months at YogaDad HQ on the media front. Sky News started the ball rolling with a prime-time interview to mark International Men’s Day. Being filmed demonstrating yoga with one of my male students felt pretty surreal. The stars of the show were the YogaTwins, who took it in their stride…
