Our Teachers

Andy is a senior yoga teacher with over 30 years of yoga experience. He has been teaching Ashtanga Yoga for over 20 years, with extensive knowledge and experience of teaching and practicing Primary, 2nd and 3rd series in the Ashtanga method.

Andy’s teaching journey began with an apprenticeship with Gingi Lee at The Sangam (now The Shala). He subsequently trained with John Scott and Lucy Crawford, becoming a senior teacher and assistant to John Scott, working and teaching with him on retreats and workshops around the world. Andy has also studied with Simon Borg-Oliver, who has been a significant influence in the development of his approach to teaching Yoga.

Andy is passionate about the healing power of Yoga, something he has personally experienced in his recovery from 2 serious spinal injuries.

In his teaching, Andy combines the precision of biomechanics and functional movement with the fluidity of the Ashtanga Vinyasa method. As an experienced Life Coach, he understands and respects the individual and unique needs of his students. He brings an intelligent, creative, supportive, collaborative, playful and non-dogmatic approach to sharing Yoga.

Andy has a wealth of teaching experience, from London yoga studios to leading retreats and workshops around the world, and is excited to have the opportunity to share his knowledge and experience with the Hastings community.

He is the co-founder of Ashtanga Yoga Hastings, and is also a multi-modal therapist, using Coaching, NLP & Hypnotherapy, as well as Somatic and Breathwork techniques to help his clients. You can find more about this work by clicking here
