About Ben Beswick

  I am an experienced Ashtanga Yoga teacher, Mysore-style practitioner, and Reiki Master, I bring with me  decades of dedication to movement, breath work, and energy healing. I was authorised by Manju Jois to teach both the Primary and Second Series of Ashtanga and have trained extensively with renowned teachers, including. Hamish Hendry, Peter Sanson,  Richard Freeman, David Swenson, and John Scott amongst so  many others over the years. Finding out what works for me and what doesn’t.

My  teaching philosophy is centred on meeting people where they are, whether complete beginners or advanced practitioners. A Mysore-style classes allows for a personalised approach, where a student can progress at their own pace with  guidance. I  work to support each individual’s journey, ensuring both accessibility and depth in the practice. Trying to find more than just posture, but getting an opportunity to notice,  find space and  even yoga maybe.

In addition to yoga, I am a Traditional Thai Massage practitioner, trained at the Central School of Thai Massage. A Reiki Master taught by Jan Weston. The practice’s   approach to healing integrates physical movement with energy work, The Ashtanga method offers  a holistic pathway to well-being that helps us find space to balance the body, mind, and spirit. bettering our relationships with ourselves and all that is.

I continue to evolve my teaching through practice, ongoing study and exploration of functional anatomy, therapy-based yoga, and the energetic aspects of practice. The warm and supportive community  the Old School Yoga Studio has to offer, makes it a place where all are welcome to learn, grow, and connect. Find what works for you.  There’s lots on, Try and find something every day to help connect to the most high.

Before opening up the Old School Yoga Studio I spent many years teaching in and around Stratford upon Avon, at such  places like the RSC ( Royal Shakespeare company) Bannatyne health club, movers and shakers, the Buzz and many more. But nothing was more rewarding than  opening the Old school. A dedicated space for your yoga development.
