Zen Meditation, Yoga & Retreats

Mindfulness for the Modern Day

The practice of mindfulness and meditation is good for us. Wisdom has passed it through the ages and science continues catch up in support of its endless benefits. Our fears, anxieties, shadows and unease can all find a home within a mindful practice, cultivating greater healing with each practice.

That is what I am here to do. To share my own experiences of finding a home for depression, burnout and shadow in my mindfulness practice. To share how you too can transform fear into acceptance. To share the wisdom of the sages in a modern, accessible way. To show you that even 5 breathes a day can change your life.

  • Christian is always encouraging me to push past any mental blocks and believe in my body’s ability to keep going. There’s great balance in Christian’s classes of always pushing people that little bit further, but also respecting everyone’s practice is totally different and offering alternative positions to suit different bodies and abilities. There is so much care put into his teaching and routines - Holly, Brighton

  • Christian's yoga classes are the perfect mix of mental and physical exertion, and he is always encouraging me to look inwards throughout classes to find greater depth in my practice. His classes aren't just another yoga workout, they are insightful and inquisitive. Working with Christian, I have found news ways to connect to myself through my body, and continue to challenge myself to look deeper - Chloe, Brighton

  • Training with Christian was a blast, and his approach is both soft and engaging. He knows so much but always encourages me to find things out for myself, and I learned so much in my meditation practice from him. Can't recommend him enough! - Patrick, London
