John Jemison has studied yoga and the mind body connection for more than twenty years.

“I came to Pilates first through physiotherapy. Things changed radically after my first yoga class. Within the first five minutes I knew that this was something I should do, by halfway I thought that it is something everyone should do and by the end I was determined that I should teach it.

It was some years later when, finally, I found myself in a suitable position and able to train. I initially took the chance to learn Pilates instruction and later started my yoga teacher training. I have had a long winding road.

On the way I have been supported by a great many practitioners and have found inspiration from all sorts of teachers, texts, gurus and philosophers. I especially find affinity with both Joseph Pilates and BKS Iyengar not least because they both struggled through adversity, against injury and expectation, but also for their unshaken belief in their craft and in the individual application of their art.”

Johns' classes whether yoga or pilates are an exploration beyond self limiting expectation.
