23 years working as a commercial lawyer in the City and even longer playing competitive sport gave Graham Burns a unique perspective on how yoga can help with the stresses of daily life. In all his teaching, Graham emphasises that the physical benefits of asana are only a small part of the joy of yoga. Much more important is the combined use of body, breath and mind to help us find our true essence. His dynamic but relaxed asana style is rooted in his studies of the Ashtanga Vinyasa tradition with Richard Freeman and John Scott, but Graham’s classes are imaginatively sequenced with a particular focus on their more subtle energetic effects, and typically also include both pranayama (breath work) and meditation/visualisation. Initially trained in California in 2000, Graham continues to study widely with many of the world's leading teachers, most notably his current principal teacher, Rod Stryker. As well as his more dynamic classes, he is also an experienced teacher of gentle yoga and yoga nidra and teaches and mentors students on one of the UK’s top yoga teacher training courses. Above all, Graham is known for his humorous and light-hearted approach to teaching, while still preserving the best elements of the yoga tradition.
