To lead well, you need to learn to follow well’, these words from his teacher Patrick still profoundly resonates with Jonathan every time he steps onto the mat. Learning to trust the process, to completely let go of oneself and to follow without doubt can you hope to lead your life to its fullest. He aims to help guide others to fulfill their own potential as this is the core essence of what he believes in and what he wishes to cultivate within his students. From his early twenties, he worked in education and was involved in coaching until he found yoga. Jonathan saw an opportunity in the difficulty and wanted to change the mindset of others from thinking “I can or can’t do something” to “How do I do this?”. He took the first step forward on his yoga path to seek out answers. With an unshakeable belief in inspiring his students to achieve their best within the practice, Jonathan takes a methodical approach to teaching. Focusing on how our entire body is working together, complicated postures are deconstructed to allow more accessibility and allow space for learning within the practitioner. Jonathan’s classes are a balance between developing power, precision and mindfulness. By awakening the student's inner tapas, he aims to guide the student through a self-disciplined practice whereby they feel more physically robust in the body, build resilience and develop vibrancy.
