John Stirk’s unique approach and brilliant presentation has delighted and captivated my students and fellow yoga teachers for many years.  Always touching upon what is universal in the practice, he brings something for everyone, from seasoned practitioners to beginners. He has an uncanny ability to take us directly to the heart of the matter and hold us in its depth.  A true master.  Working with John for the past 26 years has been an education, inspiration and a joy.

As a teacher training young actors and dancers I have found Johns work  invaluable in providing a unique insight into the inner mechanics of the body supporting both vocal and physical development. The work is an original and detailed biomechanical approach to the human organism, it is inherently inclusive, everyone is able to do the simple positions. An essential tool for anyone involved in movement training.

Thank you so much for being there for us, for guiding us through two intense sessions and for being such a fantastic ‘Yoga teacher’ and psychotherapist.

It amazes me time and again how you find the right words to communicate at such a depth – with us as a group and equally as individuals – to convey your wisdom.

There is nowhere else I would have rather been than on the mat in Notting Hill during Friday evening and yesterday!

John’s work has enabled me to gain knowledge of the highest level about the workings of my body and my mind (the body brain).  If you were born with a constant hunger to express and explore the physical self(as I was) , you will never be satisfied with a method.  His way of working, which is not only creative, unique, challenging and healing, is also richly infused with anatomical detail, allowing me to access the deepest tissue layers of my body and thus metamorphose into a more fearless dancing creature.
