TEACHER BIOGRAPHY
James
I was inspired to take up yoga aged 21 by my parents whilst living in France. Seven years later, in 2005, I first stayed at Yasodhara Ashram during a gap year in Canada. I returned to participate in the 2008 Yoga Development Course, remaining at the ashram for most of 2008 and 2009, undertaking karma yoga and completing my teacher certification.
I return to the ashram every 3-4 years to refresh my experience and connection, and am supported on a regular basis by a network of fellow yogis stretching from Vancouver Island to Nagano. I have previously been on the Radha House Association board, including in the role of President.
I currently lead a fortnightly book group as well as initiating the weekly Divine Light Invocation practice group, both sessions being online.
More information on these can be found on the “online classes and satsangs” page of this site: yasodharayoga.org/europe/classes-satsangs/
I have also been responsible for organising YYEN’s first online retreats: yasodharayoga.org/europe/online-classes/

Introduction to the Kundalini System May 24 Aylsham Norfolk
Kundalini Yoga, approached with the method developed by Swami Radha, is a well-structured practice that leads to the expansion of consciousness and the development of the potential that resides untapped within each of us.
By reflecting on the images of the chakras and exploring the symbolism, elements, senses and mantras associated with them, we can clarify the mind and access intuition and inner wisdom, to understand and guide our lives.
Kundalini Yoga is the path to freedom. An esoteric and much misunderstood yoga, Kundalini Yoga is in fact a practical and powerful tool for self-development. Swami Radha has developed an approach that takes the wisdom of this ancient system and makes it accessible to daily life. In Kundalini Yoga, you investigate your own mind and consciousness.
