Bill Thwaites

Bill Thwaites one of the UK’s most senior and highly acclaimed 26&2 Bikram Hot Yoga teachers, who personally has taught the likes of Lady Gaga, Benedict Cumberbatch, Hayley Atwell, Olivia Williams, Toby Jones, Maxine Peake, Gemma Arterton and Robert Downey Jr.

As the former founder of London’s highly successful group of Sohot Bikram Yoga studios, Bill has extensive experience training thousands of students and yoga teachers from all over the world.

Bill's unique insight often challenges established dogma helping students gain a more enriched perspective.

By getting students to remove the standard construct of getting the body to stretch into postures and instead, use the postures as a framework to expand the body open, Bill has proven students instantly eliminate their back pain or joint pain, restoring mobility and gain superior level coordination, balance and awareness. Over the years Bill has refined and perfected this approach which he calls Sohot Method.

Bill Thwaites, is an author of the upcoming book ("Perfect Freedom: How to Reach a New High in Physical and Mental Health") in which he details the science behind why he changed the way he practises and teaches Bikram yoga, creating the Sohot Method.

Funcational Approach

The Sohot Method

If you’re looking to enhance peak physical and mental performance without damaging your joints and spine, then you need to practice smarter.

The Sohot Funcational Approach is superior to the standard approach to Bikram Yoga in three primary areas.

Firstly, it develops functional strength, which the standard approach to Bikram yoga fails to do.

Secondly, the Sohot Method restores joint and spine health. No more impingement or negative compressive forces.

Thirdly, it rehabilitates the body's entire fascia system, greatly improving proprioception, agility and posture.

Your Bikram yoga class remains the same except now you have a different headspace, focus and goals.

If your yoga practice is giving you joint and lower back pain, or neck and shoulder tension, then you need to change your game. You need to practice smarter.

The Sohot Funcational Approach is the application of emerging science in sports performance and longevity. We're not talking about the science of 30 years ago, we're talking the past ten years, which due to modern imaging technology has given us the ability to see how the mind and body respond when active.

Whether you practice at home, the studio or both, the Sohot Method of Bikram Yoga will rapidly improve your physical and mental performance, particularly if you are in Pain, Injured or lacking Flexibility.
