Yoga & Meditation

A serious head injury when I was 21 opened my inner eyes to the Mystery that underlies this manifest life. It led to me embracing yoga and meditation as my core daily practice to this day, and into becoming a trained yoga teacher in 2001. I was given the blessing of learning from inspirational teachers, and living, serving and teaching at Mandala Yoga Ashram in southwest Wales, for 27 years. I have so much gratitude for all the people I shared with during these years.

Although I am now living outside of the Ashram, I still return there regularly to teach.

Many people who know me through the Ashram know me as ‘Krishnaprem’ – a spiritual name given to me by my teacher. It is a name pregnant with meaning, which acts as an abiding inner compass, guiding me in my life.

I know the benefits of yoga and meditation from deep personal experience. Although I no longer teach weekly classes, I do offer 1:1 sessions to take you deeper into the benefits of yoga practice, physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. These can be at your home, or at mine, as you wish.

Since March 2026, I have been guiding the Prema Sangha, or Gathering of Love. It is an online community of up to 44 people, offering regular teachings from myself, and a genuine sense of meaningful connection, support and a sense of belonging.

I also regularly offer day or weekend seminars, by invitation, around the U.K. and Europe, which explore the deeper practices of yoga. Subjects include, amongst others, Mantra (sacred sound), Chakras, Meditation, ‘Facing Death, Embracing Life’, cultivating Resilience, Mudras and Bandhas, Pranayama, Bhakti Yoga, and the application of yogic qualities in daily life.

Contact me if you would like me to teach a seminar or retreat in your locality, or online, or maybe I will share with you during one of regular visits to the Ashram for the retreats I am offering there.

Forthcoming seminars and retreats for 2026 include:

• Wednesday 12th – Saturday 22nd August – Silent Retreat at Mandala Yoga Ashram co-facilitating with Sw. SatyaDaya & Tulsi
