Certificate level: Level 1

Chris first started attending Yoga classes in his 30s when he’d developed a bad back. He did various classes as a busy work and family life would permit. Some 20 years later he discovered Iyengar Yoga at ZagYoga Iyengar Studio. He soon started attending two classes a week and before long started to develop his home practice which led him on the path to becoming an Iyengar Yoga teacher 10 years later. 

He says: “I find a great joy being in a Yoga class or practicing at home. It enables me to connect mind and body, to feel totally present for an amount of time every day. It’s allowed me to see a steady progression physically and mentally which in turn has built confidence, developed will power and brought a balance to my life”

Chris creates a warm, welcoming environment in his classes and believes yoga can be a positive force for everyone.

Chris is joining the Zagyoga team and will be teaching Sunday morning classes.
