A Yoga Alliance Senior Teacher, Jim has been teaching yoga for 28 years. Graduating from the Patanjali yoga school in Kathmandu in 1992, and the Iyengar school in 1996, Jim established the Vajrasati school of yoga in 2000 www.vajrasatiyoga.co.uk, it’s principles founded on 30 years of scholarship studying the yoga traditions including; Tantra, Vedanta and Hatha, and incorporation of these teachings within a modern postural yoga setting.
In 2017 Vajrasati school was awarded the prestigious ‘Teacher Training Plus’ title by Yoga Alliance Professionals. One of only seven schools to hold the accreditation at the time.
Though Jim’s classes are popular with experienced yogis they remain highly accessible and cut across all levels of experience to be just as appreciated by complete beginners. A typical class will incorporate asana, pranayama, breath-work and mudra as a means of leading students towards moksha or liberation.
Jim’s classes emphasise attentive awareness of physical, and more subtle, states of oneself in order to alert students to their own, intuitive intelligence. This approach lets all students, from beginners through to more advanced yogis, move from their own level towards greater integration.
