About Jamie

Twenty years on the mat, still asking questions.

Read more about me

I'm a yoga teacher and teacher trainer based in Leeds. My love of movement began in dance: I trained at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance and London Contemporary Dance School, studied on the Cunningham advanced programme in New York, and later completed an MA in Choreography at the University of Lincoln.

I trained with Larry Schultz in San Francisco and am a first-generation teacher of his Rocket Yoga. I went on to run three yoga studios, two in Leeds and one in London, before focusing on training teachers in Leeds, London, Cardiff and Swansea. Each year I teach anatomy on the House of Yoga teacher training in London.

Beyond the studio, I co-developed a yoga pilot for asylum seekers with the British Red Cross and am a founding trustee of the yoga charity Yogift. I'm now researching how yoga came to mean what it does today. I love anatomy, good biomechanics, and a class with a bit of humour in it.

The book · in progress

Who ****** Yoga?

A detective story through yoga's history. Following the clues, the suspects and the evidence, it asks how an ancient practice became the yoga we know today, and what an honest yoga could look like now.

Written for anyone who loves yoga, used to practise, or teaches it.
