John Stirk’s work has evolved over a period of 35 years.  He has taught yoga for 34 years and practised osteopathy for 25 years.  He taught remedial classes to students at the Royal Academy of Dance in London, conducted body-mind workshops with R.D. Laing in the late 1970’s with whom he studied for many years.  He graduated as an osteopath in London in 1983 and lectured in

bio-mechanics and practical osteopathy at the College of Osteopaths in London and was made a Fellow of the College in 1995.  


John has been teaching yoga since 1974 and had personal tuition from Vanda Scaravelli in Florence, for several years and provided yoga teacher training courses in London from 1998-2004.  He is the author of two books, ‘Soft Exercise’ published in 1983 and ‘Structural Fitness’ published in 1988.


Currently John works with groups and gives workshops, residentials and classes in the U.K , Europe, the U.S.A. and Australia for yoga students, yoga teachers, osteopaths, psychotherapists and bodyworkers.



ABOUT THE WORK:

John’s grounding in Yoga, Osteopathy and Psychology has stimulated a continually evolving practice and approach to teaching that acknowledges bio-mechanical principles, anatomy, physiology, evolution, and eastern and western approaches to personal growth while giving space for insight and realisation to emerge.
