ABOUT YOGA FOR MEN

This class is open to all levels of practice and is very suitable for beginners. It is a class which may appeal to men who prefer a men only class or who prefer a male teacher.  In this class the focus is very much on building a safe and strong practice using the Vinyasa Krama methodology – a step by step approach to classical yoga with a strong emphasis on the correct use of the breath.

Postures (asanas) are taught using fundamental building blocks and a progressive approach (vinyasa krama) using props when appropriate and the full spectrum of the practice is introduced.

Modifications and variations of poses are explored so that each student learns to build physical strength, mental clarity and inner stillness in a safe and non- competitive class environment.

Suitable for students of all ages and fitness levels including complete beginners and also improvers with some previous experience, those who are returning to yoga after a break or recovering from illness or injury (consult your GP first)

 

ABOUT MARK KINGHAN

We are delighted to welcome Mark Kinghan to The Ananta Yoga Studios.  Mark teaches classical yoga through the Vinyasa Krama methodology & his yoga teaching is firmly rooted in the tradition of Krishnamacharya.  He is an experienced and wise teacher with a diverse background in energy/ body work & the internal arts and has been working in this field for over 30 years.

Mark Kinghan began his journey of self enquiry and study of spiritual practices in the early 80’s with the practice of Aikido and Qi gong.  He became immersed in Buddhism and completed his first Vipassana course in 1984.

Mark also studied Acupuncture in the 80’s and qualified with The Acupuncture Foundation of Ireland in 1990 continuing on to complete his Acupuncture Clinical Training in China.  Following many years of practice he completed his training in Qi gong and began teaching in 2000.  

He has studied Ayurveda under the guidance of Dr David Frawley and recently has spent a month furthering his Ayurvedic studies in th Jss Ayurvedic Hospital in Mysore, India.  Mark has also studied and qualified in Thai & Aromatherapy Massage.

Marks interest in the internal arts eventually led him to yoga and he completed a 200 hour Teacher Training in the Elbow Room in 2013.  His main yoga practice at this time was in the Ashtanga tradition and he  went on to complete a 40 hour training with David Swenson in 2013.

In 2015 Mark met Srivatsa Ramaswami and Uk Snr Vinyasa Krama teacher Stephen Brandon and since then has been passionate about teaching and practicing Vinyasa Krama Yoga.  He has completed several intensive  trainings with both Ramaswami and Stephen in the past four years including a 100 hour Advanced Vinyasa Krama Training in Chennai with Srivatsa Ramaswami. 

Mark is currently teaching Vinyasa Krama Yoga and practicing Chinese medicine.  We are delighted to welcome him to The  Ananta Yoga Studios where he will be teaching a  Vinyasa Krama Yoga class for men and offering Acupuncture.
