The page has had a few new likes lately so I thought I should introduce myself 😊🙏

🟠 My name is James, I started training as a Yoga teacher in 2015. In 2017 I was lucky enough to spend 6 months at Ananda Ashram in Pondicherry India. Here we studied from 5.30am - 9pm daily. At the end of the course I was awarded the title "Yoga Sadhaka" and the name Dhananjay. I don't mind being called James or Dhananjay.

🟠 I have now undertaken 1700 hours of Yoga teacher training from the UK and India. I also have a BSc in Community Health and Well-Being which has given me a deeper understanding of anatomy, physiology and a wider view of health. Since graduating I have worked for lots of charities, including as a mental health practitioner in GP surgeries teaching cognitive behavioural skills for stress, anxiety and depression.

🟠 I am really passionate about helping people to lower their stress levels and believe Yoga can help everyone to be healthier and happier. My mission is to deliver the best authentic Yoga classes that I can, and to create a welcoming environment where everyone can practise Yoga.

🟠 In 2024 I completed my training as a ''Gong Practitioner'' to offer sound baths. I am currently 1 of 5 registered gong practitioners in Wales with the College of Sound Healing.

Booking for classes opens every 5 weeks. If you would like to join Yoga classes, retreats and gong baths - visit the link below:

My story

I have been on a real journey with Yoga, I started training in 2014 with Kalavathi at Om Studio, Cardiff. Following teacher training and graduating from university with a BSc in Community Health and Well-Being (1:1) in 2017, I travelled to Pondicherry - India to take part in Ananda Ashram’s highly acclaimed 6 month residential teacher training course. Here I developed my understanding of Rishiculture Ashtanga Yoga intensively, with classes and practise from 5am - 9pm daily under the knowledgeable watch of ‘Ammaji’ - Yogamani Meenakshi Devi Bhavanani and Yogacharya Dr Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani. Here I was awarded the title ‘Yoga Sadhaka’ and the name Dhananjay. I currently work for a charity within the NHS delivering mental health and wellbeing interventions and psycho-education courses for stress, anxiety, depression and panic. I also teach a range of Yoga classes in South Wales for all abilities and experience. I am really passionate about mental health, stress reduction and physical fitness. There are many proven mental, physical and even spiritual benefits of practising Yoga and I hope to share what I have learnt with you in class. See you soon!
