"Your classes bring everything that yoga
promises to deliver. Your knowledge of the theory and history
of yoga informs our yoga practice without it being too serious
and earnest.
Without yoga, I really think life would be harder. It keeps
me sane mainly because of its stress relieving properties
- I always leave your classes with a feeling of peaceful positive
calm. I get a great sense of accomplishment every week. I
can definitely feel the improvement after if I've had a break
from yoga. I used to get back ache and they have disappeared
since taking up yoga.
Your classes are friendly and you don't take yourself or
the practice too seriously (by that I mean you take it seriously,
but you're not serious).
A great class, one that I've enjoyed attending weekly for over 2
years." Christy Tiney
"Jeff's yoga classes are the best in town - he combines knowledge,
having studied extensively with the world's best Indian and American
teachers, with sensitivity and grace, and a real understanding of
how to move minds and bodies into stillness. As one of the world's
worst meditators I can honestly say that I have got closer to that
point of profound silence in Jeff's classes than I have with the
many yoga teachers of India with whom I have studied. He is the
genuine article - a gifted teacher deeply commitmed to the ancient
yoga teachings. He wants to infect everyone with his enthusiasm,
but he is very cool and never stuffs it down your throat. I have
dropped out of many yoga classes in my time but I cant imagine ever
doing so with Jeff. He rocks." Lucy Edge
"I'm an average bloke in his late 50's, likes walking, gardening and
beekeeping, but not very supple with unforgiving hamstrings. I have also
suffered from sciatica for some years - despite exercises suggested by my
GP, the only real relief came from Ibuprofen!
I took up Yoga with Jeff about a year ago. Whilst not being able
to contort my body as others in the class do, I was stretching parts
of my body other exercises didn't reach and within weeks my sciatic
pains lifted. It's good to have the discipline of a weekly class
and can honestly say I now sleep better and my body is less tense
- though I still can't touch my toes!" John
Catton
"After a lifetime of abusing my body, fencing and skiing, I have
had a number of operations and was suffering a major loss of range
in my knees which was restricting my daily mobility as well as my
sporting practice. Fortunately my work was offering in house yoga
run by Jeff. He has been an inspirational teacher who has sympathetically
assisted me in achieving full mobility. Moreover I feel so much
better. Practicing yoga with Jeff has been truly beneficial but
more than anything it has been fun." Mike Cooke
"I really love Jeff's Saturday morning class at Triyoga. Leading
up through a flowing sequence of postures he inspires us to discover
stillness through action, calmness through challenge and openess
through surrender. A compassionate & inspiring teacher. Well worth
getting up early for !" Annabel Chown
"That guy today was really good! I feel nice and stretched and relaxed
and focused - unlike other classes where i normally just want to go
to sleep" Kiriana Glasson
"I love Jeff's classes and the chance to explore getting into so
many different shapes and positions that i didn't think were possible...I
also love the feeling that my body is getting more bendy and flexible
and the yoga really helps me to 'switch off' from the stress of
work" Hilary Goodban
"The atmosphere at Jeff's yoga classes is really relaxed and unintimidating,
no matter what your level is. Jeff is the epitome of calm, whilst
being a real inspiration. You find yourself relaxing and working
your body at the same time, and if you're also a high impact exerciser,
it's a great antidote to those pounded muscles and joints. Yoga
with Jeff is the best way I've found of unknotting my shoulders
after a day in the office and it also complements the rest of my
exercise plan really well." Melanie Wright
"Before I started yoga I had a preconceived idea that it was for very fit and
able people, however since starting I have felt that it is for all levels and the
consideration that Jeff gives to each individual whilst conducting a large class
is excellent. He provides assistance in correcting moves or feeling the maximum
benefit from a particular position without drawing the rest of the class' attention
to yourself.....so you feel comfortable. Yoga has improved my posture whilst walking
and sitting and I feel more in tune with my body. It makes me feel far more healthier
and you can really push your body to the limits, beyond your capabilities! I am not
the most flexible person in the world but I feel I have improved and that yoga has
allowed me to release tension in a creative proactive way and I am definately feel much
better for going. Jeff is a fabulous teacher and I feel lucky that my first yoga teacher
was such an enthusiast, expert, skilled and attentive instructor." Reena Basra
