Yoga with Russell

I was lucky enough recently to attend one of Yoga Bija's one day yoga courses. I have to admit that I was initially a little uncertain at first as a result of past experiences. However, Yoga Bija's warm, and engaging manner put me straight at ease. The course was informal was tailored to suit individuals needs. Yoga Bija was very knowledgeable, informative, and set out to ensure everyone was included. The course was well structured, there was plenty of support and encouragement, and Yoga Bija was happy to answer any questions. This was definitely a user friendly course for all abilities. I'm a complete novice! If you are new to yoga, or looking to try somewhere new, I thoroughly recommend Yoga Bija!

I have done lots and lots of yoga classes over the years but this class has to be one of the best. Russell has a very caring and relaxed approach to his classes which enables me to go at my own pace with no pressure from him or anyone else. He adapts the postures to meet individual needs whilst making every class enjoyable and fun. I always leave Russell's classes feeling extremely refreshed and rejuvenated.

I’ve been attending Russell’s sessions since last year. His lessons are well structured and varied and he has the patience of a saint combined with many years of experience learning and teaching yoga. Highly recommended for beginners right through to experienced yoga practitioners.

I’ve been coming to Russell’s yoga class for over 5 years and find his class and teaching style are all I need. His class suits all ages and physical abilities and he is able to adapt for any physical issues on an individual basis. His depth of authentic yoga teacher training and experience are very supportive of everybody’s individual needs and he has a very relaxed approach. The class is friendly and supportive. I feel blessed to have found him and the yoga has helped me through countless challenges in my life.I can highly recommend him and his class

I have been attending yoga sessions with Russell for a number of years. Russell is an extremely intuitive yoga teacher, who creates an inviting, calm space, where you can relax and focus on just “being”. There are no expectations and I always leave feeling energised, more flexible and a lot calmer.

This is not one of those intimidating yoga classes where everyone is in designer gear and stick thin, this is a yoga class for real people, men and women, of mixed ability.Russell is so kind, he helps you make adjustments if a pose is too challenging, he looks after everyone, ensuring you get the most you can from each class.Russell is an accomplished Yoga teacher with knowledge about not just the poses, but also the ethos behind yoga too. Each class has a warm up leading to the main pose, breathing practice and then the best bit, the meditation which involves lying down under a warm blanket, this is my favourite part.I always sleep really well after this yoga class, I re-enter the world feeling calm and relaxed.

Russell is a brilliant yoga teacher, and I would highly recommend him.the class is relaxing and easy for all ages. and there are lots of health benefits. everyone is friendly.
