What is his background?
Steve will join the retreat for the first time in June this year. He is the founder of a vibrant and popular yoga centre and café in Godalming, Surrey UK. He has travelled and studied in India and elsewhere with yogis from whom he has learned a great deal and yoga has occupied his life for about fifteen years now.

What type of yoga does Steve teach?
Qualified in the Sivananda tradition, Steve takes inspiration for growth from a variety of sources, even blending Tai Chi with more traditional Hatha forms, making for an interesting week. Steve’s practice began with Buddhist meditation, and mindfulness and breathing is central to his practice and teaching.

What is it like to be taught by Steve?
He is not teaching by rote or manuals, but tries to offer students something of what he has learned from experience. He will ensure the classes are tailored to the students’ needs and abilities.
