ABOUT JON
I’ve been practising yoga since I was 20 and teaching full-time for the past six years.
I love the physicality and creativity of yoga, but also everything around it — good food, sunshine, exploring somewhere new and spending time with good people.
As a psychotherapist, I’m also passionate about bringing more compassion into our practice — learning to meet ourselves with the same kindness we’d offer someone we love.
That’s the feeling I want to bring to my retreats.
My
APPROACH
One of the things I care most about in my teaching is bringing compassion into the practice.
Yoga can be challenging. We can get frustrated when something doesn't feel right, compare ourselves to other people, or judge ourselves for what our bodies can or can't do that day.
I’m interested in practising differently - meeting ourselves where we are, with a little more curiosity and a little less judgement.
My work as a psychotherapist has deepened that belief. There’s something powerful in bringing the two together: using the practice not just to move our bodies, but to notice how we talk to ourselves.
Could we speak to ourselves with the same kindness, patience and compassion that we would offer someone we love and care about?
That question sits underneath a lot of my teaching.
THE
PRACTICE
STRONG, CURIOUS AND KIND
My teaching is creative, physical and varied, with practices that can be strong and energising one day and slower and more restorative the next.
There’s space to challenge yourself, but also permission to stop, adapt, rest or do something differently.
For me, the practice isn't about performing yoga perfectly. It’s about paying attention, finding what feels right for you and learning to meet yourself where you are.
THE REST OF THE WEEK MATTERS TOO
For me, a great retreat isn't about filling every hour with activities.
It’s about having somewhere beautiful to wake up, practising yoga, eating well, getting in the sea, lying by the pool, exploring somewhere new - and having enough unplanned time to simply switch off.
That's the balance I want to create: good yoga, beautiful surroundings, good people, and plenty of space to just be.
