YOGA CLASSES
Here is an integral and creative approach to the practices of Asana (posture), and Pranayama (breath), Pratyahara (relaxation) over Dhyana (meditation). Students practice yoga stretches, postures and movement, sound mantra, breathing relaxation and sitting.
Emphasis is on breath, connected posture work where the level of physical exertion is generally mild to moderate (in relation to the dynamic or more athletic forms of yoga). Partner work can also form part of the class. Students should feel free to adjust the practices to their situation under Richard’s eye.

ABOUT THE TEACHER
Richard’s mature teaching style is a positive, down to earth synthesis of body, mind and spirit arrived at after 40 years’ regular practice, ongoing study and teaching with a clear relationship to the arts and creativity.
Between 1973-1985, he received extensive yoga teacher training under the late Dorotea Mangiamele, founder of Mangala Studios of Yoga and Creative Dance. He has taught yoga since 1975.
He was a full member of the International Yoga Teachers Association (I.Y.T.A.) since 1981. When the I.Y.T.A. was dissolved in December 2023, Richard transferred to Yoga Australia where he is currently a senior/level 3 yoga teacher. Through his practice of Japanese ink painting and calligraphy brings an artistic and creative dimension to the postures, concentration and flow of energy in these yoga classes.
