Gareth is a committed yogi with nearly a decade of experience - initially as a student and latterly as a teacher endorsed by the British Wheel of Yoga. Gareth has practised a number of different yogic traditions and draws on these to create a varied and stimulating practice which is light-hearted as well as challenging. After all, doing something so good for you should be a pleasure not a chore. As a complement to his yoga teaching, Gareth is also an advanced level Thai Yoga Massage practitioner, accredited by the TTYMA. He trained initially with Kira Balaskas from the School of Thai Yoga Massage in London, then with Asokananda, one of the world's leading teachers. He is also trained to practise Indian head massage so don't let stress go to your head (neck, shoulders or any other part of your body), get in touch and put yourself back on the path to a truly amazing sense of well-being with a massage or yoga session with Gareth.
