In the traditional Hatha yoga he teaches, each posture serves as a tool to dive within, a doorway into the experience of the Self.

Paul Broomfield

Paul has completed over 2,000 hours of yoga and massage training and has studied under many renowned yoga teachers. Since “finding” Yoga in 2002, he has devoted his days completely to the introspection (Swadhyay) of his life, and the purification (Saucha) of his Yogic path (Sadhana). Understanding that the practice of Yog is not simply a physical posture taking place on the mat, Paul has a commitment to the evolution, advancement and integration of the union of love, compassion and wisdom into everyday living. Any exchange with life of the currency of time will buy one one's dreams. Paul will do his best to ensure that practitioners spend their time wisely. Hari Om Tat Sat.

Dawn McSweeney a.k.a. The Desk Guru

Dawn's parents taught her mantra at a young age. In her early teens, the discovery of a book on yogic philosophy challenged and changed both her perspective on life and her path.

A poet, bhakti and reiki practitioner, Dawn believes that with the right intention, everything can be a practice: happiness is her favourite.
