He started teaching in 2005 after training in India and Bali where he qualified as a Yoga Alliance International teacher and in 2007 gained a further teaching diploma with the British Wheel of Yoga in the UK. His teaching comes from various styles of hatha yoga including Sivananda, Vinyasa Flow and Ashtanga. 

He travels extensively throughout the world and the UK attending eight or more workshops each year with many internationally renowned teachers,  and he tries to draw from the different styles he is exposed to in order to broaden and understand his own practice, so as to be best able to pass on these influences in his own teaching.
