The aim of the physical practice is to be able to meet all daily life situations with appropriate poise, power and grace. It is not a yoga just for the yoga mat or the mountain top. It is a yoga of searching for the truth of how you can create the best alignment with the present moment.

Okido Yoga is the teaching of Japanese Master Masahiro Oki. It’s a dynamic and varied style of yoga that draws on many oriental sources, such as martial arts, Zen, shiatsu and macrobiotics as well as Indian Yoga, with the aim of healing on individual, social and environmental levels.

Michael’s first intense experience of Okido yoga was in 1989 and he has been a constant devotee since then, studying with Hirotsugu Mori, Mizue Tamaki and many others. He is also a shiatsu practitioner and teacher in London. Shiatsu treatments will be available some afternoons at a special rate for course participants.
