‘I’ve been going to Chris’ class for a couple of years now and can really feel an improvement in the way my body moves. His classes provide a combination of strength and flexibility which allows the body to gently relax and revive muscles you didn’t know you had. Never thought I’d make it into a back bend at 41!’
Thank you to Amy for the lovely words! 💚

Final class of 2023 done. Tonight we focussed on the grounding, apanic qualities of exhaling to create deep connection to the Earth in our postures. Much needed at such a busy, exhausting time of year.
We’re back on 11 January. Join me for practice, yogis and until then, I wish you many festive blessings! 💚

“I've had yoga teachers before but never one like Chris - the way he has brought together breathing and the flow of movement has transformed my understanding. As a climber in my 50's I need good flexibility and core strength to achieve my climbing goals and Chris's patience, empathy and enthusiasm have motivated me to attend the class every week and also practice at home. Its been a game changer.”

Been thinking a lot about a lovely moment that happened this week.
I like to regularly play around in class with some challenge poses to encourage students to lift out of their comfort zones a little. This week we did a bit of Parsva Bakasana (side crow/crane). It’s tough, and requires a mental leap in order to approach the very real possibility of planting on your face.
A student managed a beautiful ex*****on of the form and the whole class turned to applaud her. Honestly, it was so wonderful. It made me feel extremely proud of the welcoming and supportive yoga community that continues to grow here in Mossley 💚

Hey guys! Just a reminder that I’m away this week having a mini holiday down on a farm in Suffolk so there’s no class until Thursday 9th September.
I’m also pleased to announce I’ll be teaching at the upcoming Awakenfestival this month. If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out, it’s going to be an amazing day of yoga and wellness and a new, exciting venture in Saddleworth that will be counting on the support of local yogis 💚

A big hello to my new followers! Please allow me to introduce myself 😀
I’m Chris, owner and teacher here at Earth Tones Yoga and I run regular classes in Mossley!
I have a weekly Thursday evening class at Mossley Community Centre and am also planning some new, monthly beginners sessions to help you take your first steps on your yoga path - more on those soon.
I’ve had a regular personal practice for around eight years now, based around the Ashtanga system, having practiced with some of the most renowned teachers from around the globe. I undertook a year-long teacher training course in 2019 with Evolve Yoga Training which has given me the strongest platform to offer deep and authentic teachings of this beautiful practice.
No matter your flexibility, strength or physical condition, if you have the desire to practice yoga, it’s my service to help you.
Get in touch if you’d like more info, have any questions or would simply like a chat! 😀

Hi everyone,
In these strange, dark times, my wish is to try and offer something that can at least provide some lightness and support so I’m delighted to announce a free four-week online yoga course on Zoom starting this Thursday, 6:30-7:45pm.
Join me for a set of mini, interactive workshops suitable for all levels where we will be breaking down the components of a series of fundamental yoga postures taken from the Ashtanga Primary Series to help you deepen your personal practice.
By the end of the course you will be equipped with the means to confidently practice a 30-45 minute routine at home.
Let's come together and support each other during lockdown through the beauty of yoga.
I’m offering this course for free - your presence is gift enough.
To book your space and receive joining details visit earthtonesyoga.com
The good stuff 💜
Adore this! 😍 Big thanks to Leo and his lovely family for joining in with my Sunday morning class today! 💚
Can’t have one class without a cat getting in on the act! 😻
Mini Tutorial | Meditation Posture
Finding comfort and stability in our meditation posture is the most important part of beginning or re-establishing a regular practice. Here’s a little tutorial of how I sit on the floor 🧘♂️
Sunday’s Gentle Hatha class was fun in the (living room) sun!
Join me on Thursday at 6:30pm for Dynamic Vinyasa on Zoom!

Our beautiful Thursday night haven. Well done tonight everyone! 💚
Some serious work put in by my Thursday crew in class tonight. Well done guys 💚
I'm really excited to be able to share my passion for yoga with you and its myriad benefits to the body, mind and soul.
My drive to teach is to help others feel more open in their bodies, calm in their minds and grounded in an increasingly turbulent world.
I'm a fully qualified yoga teacher (200hr Yoga Alliance Professionals) with a daily personal practice of over seven years centred around the discipline of the Ashtanga Vinyasa system.
My teaching approach is influenced by a host of inspirational mentors, traditional yogic philosophy and ethics, and the beauty of the natural world.
