Senior Teacher
Chris Croft
Chris has taught yoga since 2005, is a published author and a pioneer in the field of emotional and physiological behaviour (through his ground breaking work with The Enneagram). His unique approach to Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga blends over 18 years of daily yoga practice and self-study, with a deep understanding of the complexity of human personality patterns. This powerful synthesis awakens a truly inclusive approach, which embraces the differing individual needs of each student who comes to practice. By adapting the entry point to the practice, highlighting key subtle internal alignment principles and encouraging a profound intimacy with the inner breath, Chris brings yoga to life with humour and insight. Richard Freeman, and the late Michael Stone, remain Chris’s primary teachers.

Linda F
"I have done a week of your online classes now and they have been fantastic! You have been able to recreate the safe and calm environment of your studio and brought it home to me. Thank you! The guide through the practice has been wonderful- I didn’t know that I probably just needed someone to tell me what to do at times like this. Someone who I could trust. You have both done that." 🙏
Heike
"Warmest congratulations on the online classes - you are doing a really terrific job with them. I too had to move all my teaching online and realized the hard way that it is not simply a matter of sticking a camera in the corner and carrying on as usual; you are doing brilliantly in reshaping in-class tuition to online tuition. I am finding instructions clear and easy to follow, and the quality of the footage is excellent. Thank you and Yulia for providing these classes at a time we need them more than ever!"
