Teacher Details

Richard came to yoga in 1997 after a chance conversation during a blizzard on a Welsh mountain. He initally practised Sivanada yoga but since 2001 he has mainly practised ashtanga yoga. The growing importance of yoga in his own life and a desire to share the benefits of yoga with others led him to undertake teacher training with Union Yoga in 2005.

Since completing his teacher training Richard has been teaching yoga to beginners and intermediate students, both in groups and individually, in Sheffield. In 2006 he became a partner at Yoga Shala Sheffield and is committed to developing the Shala. His teaching is in the ashtanga tradition and is informed by his own practice. He has a particular interest in the flowing nature of the practice and how this can transform physical exercise into a moving meditation.
