Oliver Tobin
Oliver has always believed that yoga provides the opportunity to discover. As a dancer he sees yoga as an art form and a way of channelling artistic expression. His experience has taught him that the more understanding, acceptance and awareness we have of ourselves in a spacial context, the more we can both receive and give. The practice of yoga itself periodically gifts us with rewarding little breakthroughs. Providing the environment for us to recognize and acknowledge these special moments, Oliver also reminds us about all the moments in between.
His class Core Principles, fuses the Hatha yoga tradition with the Graham technique and elements of pilates. Oliver brings the elegance of his dance background to bear on his emphasis on balance and stability. Easing us into the importance of the back and core, we come to an appreciation of our inner and outer potential.
