Richard has been teaching for over 15 years and is excited about his new path of teaching yoga.  His study of yoga began in Japan where he studied zazen meditation and studied acting with a Japanese amateur theatre troupe as a way to deepen his own spiritual practice. In Japan, Richard studied both Ashtanga and Iyengar styles of yoga and was fortunate to study with Rodney Yee and Ramanand Patel.

Richard studied and trained at the Rama Lotus Yoga Centre completing his Yoga Alliance Hatha Yoga Teacher Training. He also broadened his teaching through trainings with Eoin Finn, Paul Grilley and Susan Randall. In addition to Hatha yoga, Richard also teaches Somayog, a therapeutic yoga style using the principles of somatic education. This style offers everyone the opportunity to explore the felt sense in their body and reconnect their breath with the arch and tilt of their pelvis.
