Testimonials
Here are some of the things that people have to say about their experience of working with James:
"The classes are an enjoyable, rewarding experience allowing for differing levels of ability and understanding amongst the students who are encouraged to work within their own limitations. I have noticed an increase in flexibility and strength after just a short time which I am really pleased about. I enjoy the relaxation that yoga practice brings and the overall feeling of wellbeing. James creates an environment in the class which is both nurturing and conducive to the practice of yoga - a peaceful place to leave the outside world behind." Anitha
"I'm not a body person... clumsy, over-weight, unfit and ashamed... I never saw myself doing Yoga. Self-righteous health freaks showing off their fine physiques I thought... James took me to a gentle place with myself and even with my Chronic long-term back-pain managed a perfectly tailored programme for me that helped me to realign myself and see a more active future, and less hated body! If you can't face a group to start with, then I highly recommend a few individual sessions to show yourself the physical and emotional well-being that you can have through Yoga." Rozz
I just wanted to say thank you for the workshop in Iffley on Saturday. It was a beautiful experience that had a profound impact on me; in particular the end meditation in which we were asked to become aware of one sensation / feeling and then the opposite. During this I had a moment of clarity of something that I had been trying to work through for a while; it was so enlightening and blissful! I'm sure it was down to a combination of the physical and the mental workout which was far more powerful (in terms of unity) than I've experienced in yoga before; and I'm sure that this is down to your instruction. Thank you so much! Voulla
"I have always been a complete sceptic about the benefits and validity of Yoga. Then some colleagues asked me to organize a yoga session at work and I contacted James. I'm a complete convert! Yoga is such a lovely way to break up the working day, and I always go back to work feeling refreshed, focused and relaxed. I'm not sure how I got through the week without it!" Claud
"After the five years that I have been practicing yoga, I feel that yoga is for me more of a way of life than purely physical exercise. In those five years I met quite a few yoga teachers and each one of them has left something special to me. I don't think it is possible to find a 'bad' yoga teacher, and it is not possible to find two yoga teachers who are just the same... I could write many pages about what is special about James, but probably it won't be as effective as experimenting a class with him, and also different people gather different things from the same experience... So I will just say that with his voice that becomes one thing with my breathing and movement, he manage to make me wipe off my mind all the thoughts and worries... after the yoga class they are not worries any more... Thanks James!" Erica
"The classes are calm, relaxed and friendly and after a long working day you can leave the stresses of the world outside for a couple of hours. James caters for all levels of ability and regularly reminds us that we should trust in our own bodies and their limits. I have gained confidence in my abilities and in who I am. The classes have deepened both my practice of yoga and my spiritual practice as a whole" Wayne
