James Knight

James is an Integrative Therapist, Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (Yoga Alliance, E-RYT), and certified Hanna Somatic Educator. His passion is to inspire others onto the path of self-mastery.

With his combined experience as an intuitive bodyworker, psychotherapist, and yoga teacher James found a way to combine the most progressive life enhancing techniques into a seamless flow of breath and mindful movement. Gentle Somatic Yoga was born out of years of exploring ways to connect with deepest part of ourselves.
