  • I can honestly say that through being introduced to the Ashtanga practice through Jake, my life has changed greatly for the better.

    Duncan McEvoy

  • I'd tried out several different yoga classes before but what stood out with Jake was how he teaches with a genuine desire to see people do well, as opposed to teaching merely as a job.

    Julia Pittock

  • Whatever is going on, I never regret getting out of bed to practice with Jake and the wonderful community who have become true friends. It's at the heart of who I am and has truly changed my life.

    Salli Radford

  • Jake is a very intuitive and rigorous teacher and has really helped me progress in my physical practice, which has had a huge impact not only on my physical but also mental well being.

    Ruchi Gulati

  • I'm grateful to be part of such a welcoming community - one that are as keen as me to get out of bed at 5AM to practice! It says a lot about Jake's knowledge and dedication to Ashtanga

    Ellie Bye

  • It is inspiring to be a part of a group of dedicated practitioners. Thank you Jake for the awesome Mysore program with great adjustments, tips, guidance and providing a Zen space to practice.

    Dhammika Obeyesekere

  • Having practiced Ashtanga on and off for 15 years with many big names in the worldwide community, I feel so grateful to have found Jake with his wealth of knowledge, dedication and ability to make the practice so accessible and fun, often rude, sweary and many times leaves me thinking 'omg, did he just say that?

    Helen Cole

  • Despite having some prior experience, practicing yoga under Jake's guidance felt like a true beginning. His teaching really helped demystify the sequences and poses that I had trouble with or could not progress. It really helped me understand some of the nuances and ensuring I had correct form to avoid injuries and work the correct muscles.

    Aleksander Aare

  • Jake is an amazing teacher, so knowledgeable and committed to the practice. He takes it very seriously and rightly so but his down to earth, no nonsense approach is peppered with such lighthearted good humour (and the occasional F bomb!) that it puts everyone at ease.

The next Buddha will not take the form of a person. The next Buddha will rather take the shape of a community, a community that practices understanding and loving kindness, a community that practices a way of conscious living.
