James is a highly knowledgeable and inspiring teacher of yoga, Sanskrit scholar, storyteller and Kirtan singer.
He invites to delve deeper into true yoga and to explore the ancient tests on and off the mat. With ease, he transports Eastern mythology and philosophy into the Western 21st century in a way that makes these topics easy to grasp, understand and to apply them to one’s own life.
Working with sound and song, movement and meditation, story and inquiry, practical philosophy and study of the classical Sanskrit yoga texts, James’ programs invite nourishment and vitality to all parts of ourselves as we inquire into the reality of being human. With a background in languages and literature, and having lived in several countries, James brings the perennial wisdom of the Indian tradition to vivid life in the context of our world today.
KIRTAN
Kirtan is a powerful, accessible, traditional yoga practice. Working with simple call and response chanting, using our own voices, we invite ourselves into greater harmony, lifting our vibration and recalibrating our nervous system. As sound penetrates and pervades, kirtan reaches the parts that other practices are not always able to. No experience is required for this uplifting, cleansing and revitalising practice. Everyone welcome!

At the heart of traditional yoga practice is satsang - coming together to explore what is, attuning to the time-proven teachings of yoga so we can weave their support into all aspects of our daily life.
In this session, with story and song along the way, James will focus on essential yoga teachings laid out in the Yoga Sūtra: beautiful, pragmatic teachings that can support us in everything we do and help deepen our āsana practice for greater nourishment and sustainability.
