John has been practicing yoga for three years now. His initial motivation was to lose some weight and its safe to say he did that and then some! Weighing in at 17 stone when he started yoga and now seven stone later he has fallen in love with this ancient art on a much deeper level. He is the epitome of the benefits yoga brings to peoples lives physically and emotionally. Over the past three years, John has also qualified in the Top 9 for aerial silks in the IPAAT competition and has been teaching different types of gym classes. As a former chef with over 20 years experience, John has invaluable personal knowledge and first hand experience of the struggle many people face in maintaining a healthy diet. “Complete surrender is like falling from a tree without flinching a muscle” (Ramakrishna)
