Over the past few weeks I have run a weekly Nature Photography Challenge on Instagram. Often with the YogaTwins and YogaDogs in tow, I head into the great outdoors to capture images that best represent the theme of the week.

A few weeks ago I fell off my bike while cycling home from work. I landed heavily on my right wrist and was in a lot of pain. I managed to cycle the rest of the way home, although there were a few tears when I hobbled through the door. This was as much to…

Sky News approached me for an interview on International Men’s Day. Their reporter, Katie Spencer, contacted me because of the way in which I was challenging typical male stereotypes. My Yoga for Men classes are pushing boundaries, enabling my male students to become empowered to practice yoga to support their physical and mental health &…

During the latter stages of my yoga teacher training and over the Summer, I ran donation-based yoga classes on Queen Square in Bristol and 73 Degrees bike shop in Keynsham. Through my students’ generous donations, we raised a whopping £360. These funds will be used to support the following charities and community organisations: Costa Rica…

  This week, my (mostly) long hot summer of al fresco classes in Bristol drew to a close. I have been teaching yoga on Queen Square in central Bristol all Summer long. Amongst the personal trainers, pétanque players and runners, I nestled myself on the grass, providing my students and me with a perfect counter…

  As a male yogi, it’s not unusual for me to be in the minority in a yoga class. Even on my Yoga Teacher Training at Bristol School of Yoga, there were only two male students, amongst 14 women. Not that it bothered me – I’m there because I love practicing yoga. In fact, a…
