In my unique approach to Hatha Yoga, I guide students through a three-stage journey. Each stage embracing different INTENTIONS. The result is that students obtain an astounding insight into their body & mind. A true mind-body connection along with incredible strength, flexibility, stamina and focus.
Most people who practice Hatha yoga never discover the true power yoga can bring to their lives, remaining stuck in a beginner’s mindset. They become masters of being a beginner. A bit like if you were learning to play the piano and all you had was the book “Piano for Beginners Level 1”.
Thinking one or two seconds ahead of yourself when practicing your yoga will keep you boxed-in with a beginners mind, never exploring the true power yoga can bring.

In the world of yoga, there are those who stress the need to take things easy, be mindful, focus on listening to your body. Then there are those who see yoga as a demonstration of ability as if it were a Cirque Du Soleil act. Both approaches lead to problems if you are pretty damn stiff, like me.
My mindful approach to Bikram hot yoga has proven to be particularly beneficial to those with stiff, injured and unfit bodies. Recently I received an email asking if I would go through each of the 26 Bikram postures outlining the key steps involved to perform each pose correctly without injury. Yes sure, why not I said. I'll add it to my To Do list.
If you've been practicing for a while and feel your development has come to a grinding halt, maybe it's time to change your approach.
Strength / Flexibility a Misunderstood Relationship.
I have read a lot of reviews about Bikram Yoga in which the journalist completely misses the point. Sometimes they fail to fully comprehend the heat and that Bikram yoga is simply Hatha yoga done in a hot room. What's more shocking is the number of times journalists don't understand why we do the same sequence every time.
