Private Lessons

Eric has been teaching one to one yoga/personal training since 1996. He encourages the mindfulness of the three weak links in the body: knees (particularly “western knees”), lower back and neck. His teaching is clear, spirited, and packed with distilled experience and wisdom.

Sessions are ultimately tailored to suit your needs.

He also brings to his clients an added dimension in the form of creating unique inspiring programs to follow. The first session is used to unveil blockages of energy which clearly show up in a number of “diagnostic asanas” (postures). Digital photos can be taken to help the student gain an understanding of the alignment necessary to perfect the flow of energy within the body. These initial photos can also act as a benchmark from which to springboard. This is of-coarse is not compulsory for anyone camera shy!

Take a peek at an example: Program

Eric has travelled the world (including Australia, Thailand, Singapore, England and the U.S.) studying and practicing many forms of therapy:

Sports Massage Therapy

Eric has worked with sports men and women of all abilities, including Olympic standard. Sports massage uses manipulation and stretch methods to help maximize athletic potential. It is particularly effective in improving circulation, increasing range of motion and speeding the rate of recovery from injury

Traditional Thai Massage

An ancient therapy combining acu-pressure and gentle yoga stretches applied to the body through clothing. The treatment centers around re-balancing the body’s energy and restoring the sense of well-being. Eric has studied the Northern (relaxing) style at the “Shivagokormarpaj “School in Chaing Mai, Thailand. He also studied the Southern (invigorating) style with a family of blind practitioners.

Lymphatic Drainage Therapy

Stimulating the lymphatic fluid system has wide beneficial effects to the mind and body. It is used to reduce high blood pressure, improve sinusitis, migraines, acne and constipation. This therapy also boosts the immune system and is an established treatment for Lymphadema.

Indian Head Massage

Eric studied this art from a yogi in the Himalayan hills of Rishikesh, North India. The head, neck, shoulder and facial areas are massaged with the purpose of manipulating and clearing energy channels. Especially useful for recovering intellectuals and head trippers.

Testimonials

“Eric’s body work has a true potency. I value his deep intuitive sense and his obvious technical mastery. Moving stale energy out and re-aligning spirit with higher consciousness, I feel truly transformed after a session with Eric. The alchemical work seems to build on itself which is totally enchanting because his repertoire appears boundless . I look forward to his wizardry as an essential personal gift to my ongoing self care program. I cannot recommend Eric highly enough. And, he is a magnificent yoga teacher whose classes are on the same bright continuum of his peerless artistry.”
