Personal Profile Alex was born in the industrial north of England. In his early twenties he had decided that he had outgrown his small town and set off to discover the world. His voyage of discovery lead him to far flung places and amazing lessons were learned. But it was when he discovered sailing that he became in touch with his inner self and his relationship to the natural world was formed. Choosing New Zealand as his next voyage of discovery, he delved inside, discovering a whole new world within the realms of meditation. Continuing his love affair with the ocean using the medium of surfing, the physical and spiritual aspects of yoga was a natural progression that has allowed his personal development, to lead him to a place of wellbeing and happiness.

Fluid Yoga

Through his enquiry into the meditative and fluid aspects of yoga.
