My approach is to teach yoga in a totally holistic fashion. It is important to me that people understand the benefits of each posture and how this relates to modern life and how these powerful techniques can help you in every aspect of you!

All of my classes are themed to a particular subject and each class is available to everyone regardless of their background, age or experience.

You will become more flexible, you will see your strength and stamina increase but even more importantly you will learn the art of mental and physical balance.

The 'yoga at the work' approach to yoga will enable to enjoy your life, let you tap into increased energy levels and help you in your work and relationships.

All yoga classes with Phil Aston cover a gradual and progressive approach to all aspects of Yoga and are suitable for all. [click here for our stress programs with Yoga]

Yoga Student feedback

Phil teaches with a rare perception:- how to translate yoga from its eastern culture to our western acceptability’s, without compromise.

eg, how to use yoga as a tool in life to attain union within mind, body and spirit.

This he achieves in his grounded, compassionate manner, always tinged with his self-effacing sense of Humour.

I have been looking for the right yoga teacher for 8 years and the fact that I have traveled 70 miles for a 1.5 hour lesson each week must tell you that this man is worth checking out – you won’t regret it!

I only started yoga classes with you in January, but it has made such a difference in my life. My original aim was to use yoga for stress management and to help a frozen shoulder and, six months later, I have full use of my shoulder and understand more the use of the breath to help with stress. I am sorry you are no longer going to be teaching me yoga, but thanks to you I fully intend to keep it up. I will see you in September as I will be coming to Cornwall for the yoga weekend with my daughter.

Pam

Thank you for making yoga such an enjoyable experience.

Rosemary

I attended my first yoga class with Phil Aston over a year and a half ago and I have learnt so much in that time, developing myself both physically and mentally. Thank you for your enthusiasm and inspiration.

Liz

Thanks for your great yoga classes.

Anne

I feel I have got so much from Phil Aston’s yoga lessons, and this is a real credit to Phil.

Cath

I have found the classes varied, interesting and well themed and you have accommodated people's specific problems such as backs and RSI excellently.

Helen

As a complete newcomer it has been an introduction to a form of exercise and relaxation that I really enjoy and appreciate and hope to continue with for the rest of my life!

Sharon

We have thoroughly enjoyed the classes with you - we left every week feeling totally refreshed and calm. We also loved the way there was always humour in the class as well. Some yoga classes can be so strict and serious - it was very refreshing to find your fun and relaxed class, at which we could go at our own pace. Thank-you for getting us back into Yoga! Abbie & Stephanie

I would like to say how much I have enjoyed your yoga class. I feel that you have shown how true tranquillity can be achieved and how to achieve this peace of mind through yoga.

Your yoga class stretches the body in a very positive, energising way.

This is a great achievement, esp when most of us work so hard in our every day lives.

Pam

I have been attending Phil's classes regularly for the last year now and now benefit from a whole new outlook towards life. My stress levels and anxiety levels have reduced significantly. Each time i attend Phil's classes my yoga practice improves more and more each time which enhances my focus and breathing technique. Every class is a different experience and certainly enjoyable. This type pf practice is very non competitive which is perfect for me as i like to go at my own pace!. Phil's classes are easy to follow which makes home practice structured also. I would like to say that Phil's classes will be regrettable missed however I look forward to the next Yoga weekend in Cornwall which was thoroughly enjoyable when I last attended.

Leanne Hill

I would just like to say how much I have enjoyed taking part in your classes..the way you invariably link each week to issues/problems/challenges in everyday life is particularly effective and helps to bring more meaning to 'yoga in practice' Best wishes

Graham

'Phil's teaching is like a breath of fresh air, its relates to my life, I feel great, I'm not stressed and I'm proud to tell my friends I practice Yoga!'

Mike Diskin Financial Director MDFD

'Thank you once again for the yoga weekend. I had a really great time, and it was everything that I hoped it would be. I thought the hotel was very good, and very much enjoyed the yoga. After the class on Sunday morning, I felt more relaxed than I can remember being for a long time!'

Susie S [ London ]

'Dear Phil,

I must thank you for the best night's sleep I've had in months, after attending your class last night for the first time. As you said, it's so easy to slump into a chair after a hard day's work and think you're 'relaxed' but your way is so much better! I really look forward to next week's class.
Best wishes'.

Christine

'Dear Phil, The summer school class yesterday was just excellent - a great source of
ideas and inspiration. The handout was very good as well. Thanks for all the
preparation you put into it. Best wishes'

Richard Gordon (BWY Yoga teacher)

'Phil, I just wanted to write to tell you how much I enjoyed last weeks class. I found it extremely relaxing and enjoyable. Last week was the most relaxed I’ve felt in ages.. I look upon my yoga class as 'Therapy' I look forward to next Thursdays class!'

I have been attending Phil's classes for approximately one year now.

In this time i feel that yoga has changed my lifestyle. I am definitely more confident and positive. I have learnt how to relax, and mange my stress levels. Phil's teaching techniques are easy to understand, and are manageable at many levels. I have introduced friends and family to Phil's class, and they too have found his classes beneficial.

On a personal note i would like to thank Phil for his excellent classes, and I would like to wish him all the best in the future, his yoga classes in the midlands will be missed by all. Roselle

'I first started yoga about 4 (maybe 5!) years ago because I found I was starting to get an ache in my back from sitting at a computer all day. Within a couple of weeks it had gone and I have hardy even had a twinge since. Looking forward to Thursday'

Tina

'Just really wanted to thank you for last nights class. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it is exactly what I'm looking for, I only wish I'd tried it sooner!'

Faye

'Thanks for a great class last Thursday. I felt so invigorated afterwards and I can't wait for the next one.'

Helen

'May I just say that I have previously suffered from panic-attacks and anxiety and that since attending your classes, my breathing has improved, my state-of-mind seems very much clearer and my whole body seems far more relaxed. What I've particularly picked up is the ability to fall into this state of calm whenever I feel I'm entering into a stressful situation (through breathing exercises) - which is invaluable to me. Carry on the good work'.

Yvonne

'I just wanted to say that yesterday's class was really lovely. When it ended, I quite wanted to do it all over again!'

Purnima

'Just wanted to register my thanks for a wonderful class last Thursday. It was certainly one of the most enjoyable for me. I particularly enjoyed the simple sequence which started on the knees - arms swept up - swan position I felt deeply relaxed at the end. Looking forward to this weeks'

Pamela

'I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed last weeks class. I found I was able to concentrate much better, and able to focus by using the breathing techniques you taught us. I have even tried the 'alternate nostril breathing' at work during a stressful moment a d found it definitely helps!.'

'I found the asthma exercises very useful and learned features of it which I didn't know before (despite suffering for 20 years!).'

Emma

'Thank you for an excellent class.'
