So this weekend at Teacher Training, we learned the complicated structure that is the vertebral column, the spine, and the pelvis 🦴. And I guess the most important takeaway is to remember that what we’re looking at is a process of evolution, rather than something that we often assume was designed for purpose. Shifting that perspective helps us understand why this structure fails so often — and so miserably.

The spine is complicated… but it can be simplistic. And in order to help you understand, I’m running a CPD course this coming Saturday 📚. CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development — it’s for yoga teachers who want to deepen their understanding of all things yoga 🧘🏽‍♂️. In this one-day CPD, you’ll learn everything I feel you really need to know to become a more confident teacher — and to make sure you’re guiding students in the right way, rather than (accidentally) causing harm, which can happen even with the best of intentions.

That said, the course is also open to non-yoga teachers — anyone who’s dealing with lower back pain, or who has a history of it, and wants to make sure the yoga they’re doing isn’t going to trigger old injuries or aggravate what’s already there 💥.

If your spine’s been giving you grief — or if you’re teaching others how to move theirs — this might be the course that puts things back into place… literally and metaphorically 😉

As you might’ve heard, I’ve got a bit of a dodgy back 😏🫣 - I try not to go on about it 😵‍💫
So I’ve poured 20+ years of experience, my own pain, and a whole heap of science 🔬 into this one:

A one-day in-person CPD for yoga teachers on how to adapt yoga for students with chronic lower back pain 💊😰
SAT 14th JUNE - 8.30am-4pm 📆
https://www.akramyoga.co.uk/back-pain-cpd
👇🏽
Because here’s the truth — around 80% of students have some form of back pain.
And we’re either helping them or accidentally making it worse 🥹

This CPD gives you the confidence and clarity to know what you’re doing — not just from tradition, but grounded in actual research and real-life experience.

If you’re a yoga teacher who wants to serve students better, this one’s for you 👊🏾

🗓️ Starts June 14
📍 In-house at Akram Yoga, Addlestone
🏆 Taught by Om Yoga Teacher of the Year (still sounds weird saying that…)

Spaces are limited — https://www.akramyoga.co.uk/back-pain-cpd

In my new Blog, I explain through the yogic lens, what ANATOMY is. Here is a summary. It’s taken me a week to write it up and to sound marginally clever 🫣😏
“Anatomy is just a structure, a silent map of possibility, but when we breathe fully 🫁, consciously, we bring fire to the frame and awaken something ancient inside the body that no textbook can explain”

Can you build muscle and flexibility at the same time? 😏🧐
Erm, it’s complicated 🤨
What you learn, the more you learn is that the answer is never straight forward. There are so many variables to consider 🙏🏾 But of course, Laura can 😏🥹🤣
I may stick the full video and answer on YouTube. Link in bio.

☯️ EVER THOUGHT OF TEACHING YIN YOGA? 🤔
For many of us, Yin is more than a practice — it's how we slow down, heal, and reconnect.

This teacher training isn’t about memorising scripts or fancy poses.
It’s about understanding why Yin works, and learning to teach it from a place that feels real.

📍 In-house training in Addlestone
🎓 Accredited | CPD-certified | Lifetime online access
🧘‍♀️ Taught by experienced, award-winning teachers

We start this September — spaces are limited.

Yesterday at the Om Yoga Show was overwhelming, embarrassing 🙈, humbling, and absolutely the best day we could have imagined. We won the award for favourite Yoga Studio 🥇🏆💥 — a true reflection of how much love and support the studio has received from everyone.

We raised a glass 🍷 to the one person who wasn’t there but would have loved it the most — our dear Christine ❤️. She would have been so proud 😊.

A massive thank you to our incredible teachers. Without you all, I’d just be the angry guy arguing with people at the desk. You are the ones who make the magic happen. , , and .b.yoga — you all trained with us, and I couldn’t be surrounded by better people. Thank you for everything you bring to the studio 🙏🏾❤️.

has been with us since the early Woking days, and I’m so grateful for her loyalty and time 🙏🏾.

To our amazing cover team, , , and 🙏🏾.

And last but definitely not least, the real star ⭐️ of the show, the best yoga teacher I know (and the hottest 🔥) — my wife 💫⚡️. The studio wouldn’t be here without you.

Thank you to everyone who came along and got all rowdy. You all are the best 🙏🏾😎.
