Meet our Teachers : Chris Saunders

Chris started Yoga classes with Sheffield Yoga School in 2000.

He has a keen interest in climbing and has found that Yoga practice and climbing go very well together, not just the strength and flexibility we gain through Yoga but also the concentration, the control of breathing and the ability to quieten the nervous system at stressful times (for example when hanging off a rock several metres above the ground!)

In 2013 Chris completed a rigorous 3 year Satyananda Yoga Teacher Training course with Swami Satyaprakash.

He is a regular visitor to the Mandala Yoga Ashram in Wales, the highlight of which has been the 10 day Prana Vidya course with Swami Gyan Dharma …. which he’s done several times now!

Chris is particularly interetsed in the ‘deeper’ Yoga practices and is currently teaching Ajapa Japa (an ancient meditation technique) in our classes.
