Hi everyone. Tania and I both hope you are all well. As you are probably all aware Spain has entered a state of emergency with regards the Corona Virus and there are many rules being implemented.

Amongst them it is currently not allowed to run group yoga classes. In addition to the rules we are aware that some of you have health conditions or care for those that do, who could be put at risk if we meet for class. Therefore with immediate effect we have sadly had to take the decision to suspend all classes indefinitely. It is our hope to be able to restart as soon as possible, and we will inform everyone as soon as we are able to do so. But for now we assume that we will stop for a minimum of 2 whole weeks. We will send out a further message at the end of March if not before.

In the mean time we will be thinking of all of you and wishing you the best during these difficult times. Feel free to message if you have any questions or want any advice about chair based exercises you can do at home. We will also be posting some suitable home based exercise/stretches and meditation practices on our facebook page Yoga Altea. If you like the page you will see the updates.

Best wishes James and Tania.

I started practicing Iyengar Yoga over 20 years ago whilst studying and found that it had a profound effect on my ability to concentrate. My father passed away during my last year in university and again yoga helped me deal with grief. Losing someone so close at a young age taught me the value of living for the moment and following your dreams.

I have continued practicing a variety of styles of yoga including Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Power Yoga, Kundalini, Satyananda and Yin Yoga. I’ve traveled and practiced in many countries and sought out renowned international teachers such as Simon Borg-Oliver in Australia, Bramacharya Rudra Dev in Rishikesh, and Dharma Mittra in New York.

After practicing for over 13 years I felt a real yearning to share my knowledge and I took a break from work to take an International Yoga Alliance accredited 200 hour course in Bali. This was a transformative journey. My teacher training consisted of asana (positions), anatomy, history, theory, and yoga for special groups including injuries and pregnancy. I also spent a month doing seva (volunteering) at a Satyananda Yoga Ashram and also undertook a 10 day vipassana (silent meditation) course, thereby deepening my understanding of yogic lifestyles and meditation practices. Since starting teaching in London I have completed my Birthlight pregnancy yoga teacher training. In 2013 I undertook a 500 hour International Yoga Alliance accredited teacher training with Emil Wendel and Julie Martin in India and I returned again last year to Rishikesh where I was teaching meditation on a teacher training course.
