About me
Through my own yoga and mindfulness practice, I have witnessed vast improvements in my own health and mindset. It is now my ambition to help others heal themselves and improve their health and quality of life.
In a Syd Yoga class there is no competition, no strict formula, no expectations and no gurus. Just a group of people, looking inwards and releasing outwards.
Syd Yoga guarantees a full attentive practice, and is a world away from the conveyor belt yoga classes found in the West today.
“I love how Jamie describes yoga and the emphasis he places on the breathing. Since starting I feel calmer, sleep better and have better flexibility. Thank you for helping me live more in the moment”.
Sarah Prenton (Neurological Physiotherapist/Senior Lecturer)
“If you have never tried yoga, this is the perfect teacher for you! Jamie teaches from the heart and not from ego! Age, shape and your condition doesn’t matter… go, let go and enjoy!”
Nirmal Prem Kaur (KRI certified Kundalini Yoga teacher)
“Jamie’s own personal experiences and his yoga journey are very admirable. He is very knowledgeable on yoga and his teachings are based on his own understandings of yoga practice. I look forward to his class each week.”
Caroline Mostenski (BWY Student Teacher)
Having practised Yoga with Jamie for a number of years I feel it has enabled me to keep performing at my best. As well as giving me longevity in my career I feel it has helped with everyday life and general well being.

What kind of Yoga is it?
Syd Yoga provides a modern approach to an ancient practice, explaining Yoga and Mindfulness with modern science. Its not about how fit and flexible you are, its about learning to understand, heal, and maintain ones physical and psychological self.
“Yoga does not quarrel with science, it supplements science” Swami Sivananda
All physical yoga practices which involve doing Asanas (postures) and movements are a type of what is traditionally know as Hatha Yoga.
- Syd Yoga has taken knowledge and teachings from various types of Hatha Yoga and modern science, and is continuously shaping a new practice,
- Syd Yoga uses a scientific approach to explain the benefits of the different areas of yoga practice.
- Syd Yoga concentrates essentially on the releasing of stress and increasing of strength and flexibility through a less spiritual but more mindful and scientific approach to the practice.
- Syd Yoga is not advanced yoga and does not guide students in an advanced physical Yoga practice.
- Syd Yoga places considerable emphasis on a person finding and furthering yoga and mindfulness practices that benefit their own health.
- Syd Yoga has taught yoga to Physiotherapists, Yoga instructors, British Wheel of Yoga Student teachers and members of the public from all walks of life.
A typical Syd Yoga class, includes students ranging from the late teens, to senior citizens.[/et_pb_testimonial]
