The Bath School Of Shiatsu And Yoga

I can confidently and must highly recommend Frank to absolutely anyone no matter how young or old they may be. He has been my yoga instructor for 9+ years and since my very first session with him it’s been an absolute pleasure. My body and my mind have benefitted from his expert teaching. He knows his subject more than anyone I have met or have done yoga with. Whether you’re a novice or an expert in your own right on all things yoga .. I can guarantee you will learn and benefit from sessions with Frank. Whether it’s a 1-1 lesson or in a class of 50 you will come away energised, more flexible, stronger and know you’ve had his personal attention and expertise.

Having studied Shiatsu at another school for one and a half years, I took a three month taster course with Frank Davies of Bath School of Shiatsu and Yoga. In terms of Shiatsu techniques, I can truthfully say I learned more in those three months with him than I'd learned in a year and a half with my previous school.Such was the force of this realisation, I decided to go back to the first year with him and start my learning journey right from the beginning again - and this has been a very good decision!Frank's integration of Yoga - which I am not good at - and emphasis on posture makes the process of giving Shiatsu not only more comfortable as a practitioner, but a more fluid and enjoyable experience for the recipient.As a tutor Frank is exacting. But the consistency of his approach to teaching and his immense encouragement builds my confidence, and also my hunger to learn more and more.His passion for what he does is infectious and his sense of humour fills our beautiful workspace. Beyond that, his love for his students is tangible. And his patience... I'll admit I must have tested this in him, but have been met only with kindness and further encouragement.I can't recommend this course more highly. It has changed my life, and I have a huge sense of gratitude for this.

I have been attending Frank's yoga classes since I was a student at the University of Bath 18 years ago and when in Bath always return to him. He has set the standard for yoga class for me, I'm not the only one as most of his students have been with him for over 10 years! What is fantastic is the class is mixed levels of ability, age and gender. He is the most experienced teacher in Bath and an excellent guide. He calmly and gently talks us through the postures to ensure we get the most benefit from our session. He is very observant and will gently adjust you when necessary. Frank provides a friendly and relaxed space for everyone to experience the true nature of yoga. Thank you Frank.

Frank, Heidi and Mercedez are wise teachers, I feel very lucky to have learnt with them. They all hold appropriate space on and off the mat! I felt immensely supported throughout my studies (and still do) with Frank being especially considerate and accommodating in times where I needed the extra support. We had the freedom to be who we are, and we thrived because of this. Bath School of Shiatsu & Yoga, in both of the dojos we practiced from during my studies were held in a clear and light space (physically and energetically speaking). The course itself is beautifully structured and even with the complex topics, is broken down simply, in a way you can easily digest. One of the things I loved most about this school was the acceptance and embracing of people from all different walks of life, coming together and connecting through the art of Shiatsu. I still connect with my class and find it deeply nourishing when we do. I am forever changed by BSSY and am so grateful for my experience and embodiment that has come from choosing to learn with this divine school. You are in safe hands here, and I trust if you are feeling drawn to BSSY, you’ll absolutely love it.

One of the most experienced teachers in Bath.No matter what level you’re at, he’ll seamlessly fit you in his class.He’s outstanding

Outstanding. Deeply thoughtful and empathetic. Frank is very knowledgeable but also extremely accessible making him the perfect teacher for me. If you want to learn about Shiatsu, Bath School of Shiatsu and Yoga is a great place to start your learning journey.

Frank is a truly outstanding yoga practitioner and teacher. I have been a pupil of his for around 10 years during which time my flexibility, balance and core strength have greatly improved. His own flexibility is awesome. He has a cycle of movements so that in each class he concentrates on a different part of the body (hips, shoulders etc.). The postures are challenging but he gives easier options according to the individual. And the final meditation is very relaxing (many people even nod off...). I highly recommend him.

Frank is a great yoga teacher. I have been with him many years and always enjoy his classes. He encourages you to explore what your body can do and to gently challenge it without pushing too far or expecting you to be able to magically hold an amazing pose. Always held with positivity and a sense of humour.

Had a fantastic 3 years with Frank learning all about shiatsu. it's a fantastic therapeutic method and Frank is a brilliant teacher.
