Some things of possible interest
Jonathan is a naturally curious and questioning person with a background in science, who has always felt science and the arts including Eastern philosophies provide complementary ways of understanding, each with its own insights.
Jonathan is a keen cyclist, and has completed major events like La Marmotte, and has cycled from the UK to China, riding through northern India and Pakistan - a deeply immersive exposure to the subcontinent. The years in the saddle took their toll creating a chronic lack of flexibility and the odd injury, which brought him to yoga.
Jonathan had been practising seriously for about a year when he tried Ashtanga. It felt tough and intimidating at first, but now Ashtanga is now at the heart of his practice, also enjoying other variants such as Yin, Rasa and Forrest, and feels each brings its own benefits. In 2024, Jonathan had the opportunity to study at the Art of Living ashram in Bangalore. It was a life changing experience - a yoga far broader and deeper than the postures.
He qualified with OrangeYoga in 2025.
