Warrior Crow Yoga

My Devil's Night viewing. The Crow (starring Brandon Lee, who died during filming) is one of my all time favourite films and the main reason why I chose the name Warrior Crow (although I do enjoy the occasional crow pose as well).

Celebrated my oldest friend's 50th on Saturday night (school classmates when we were 4 years old!) and while in Cornwall I squeezed in a final surf of the year. Weather and waves were pretty rubbish, but that didn't stop us having a fun weekend!

Just about recovered from a very active weekend. Hiking in The Lakes on Friday, almost clearing what would have been another PB on Saturday at a Masters Athletics competition in Corby, then plodding around the Bacchus half marathon in Dorking with a few chums on Sunday. Phew! My four yoga classes on Monday were harder work than usual after all that.

My last rooftop yoga session of the summer and we finished with a glorious sunset.

Mission Gothenburg: Nordic Nation. I always like to explore the countries in which I compete, experience the culture, try local foods, discover a bit of their history and meet new people along the way. It's been great fun, thanks for having me Sweden and Denmark!

Mission Gothenburg: Pole Protocol. The hassle of carrying poles on two trains, a plane and an automobile was worth it as I jumped a new PB (personal best) at the World Masters Athletics Championships. It was a fun competition with some familiar faces and new friends. Everyone in the pole vault community is so supportive. Well done to all my fellow competitors and, as always, a huge thanks to the officials.

The British Masters Athletics Championships 2024. Gold in triple jump (with my furthest jump for 2 years) and silver in long jump (only 2 cms behind the winner). My proudest achievement of the weekend? Last place in pole vault! I equalled my personal best (which I'd only set a week earlier) and was so close to clearing the next height up. For me, it's about always trying to improve and performing to the best of my abilities. So long as I do that, I never feel disappointed, regardless of where I finish. Well done to everyone who competed and huge thanks to all the officials who make these events possible.

A sunny weekend break from yoga for the British Masters Decathlon. Two days of competition alongside some very talented and lovely people. Well done to everyone who took part and a big thank you to the organisers and officials who made it happen. Photos by

This morning at the end of class while my students were in Savasana I decided to quietly close the window. I happened to spot a man pick the wallet from a lady’s bag right across the street. Leaning out of the first floor window I loudly suggested the “thieving b*stard” return the wallet he’d just stolen. He duly did so but I had to call out the “lowlife piece of sh*t” once more when he dared to point to the ground and pretend the lady had dropped it and he was picking it up for her. Fortunately he then scarpered and the lady was able to get into her car and drive off without further incident. I had to apologise to my students (as well as the class next door!) for disturbing them, which was a bit embarrassing. So please keep your bags closed and be vigilant everyone. I'll try to be less sweary next time...

I'll be teaching two classes during the day: one for athletes or sports people at 10am; and an introductory class for beginners at 12pm.

A day off from teaching yoga! Thanks to everyone who joined us for a beautifully sunny tour through the orchards in blossom today (and stayed to sample my ciders afterwards!)

As well as teaching yoga, I’m also the cider-maker at Charrington’s, a LEAF (Linking Environment And Farming) accredited farm just a few miles south of Tunbridge Wells. We produce a premium range of award-winning wine-style ciders and single-variety apple juices. The orchards are currently in blossom and we’re hosting an educational orchard walk followed by a delicious tasting session this Saturday morning. It’s a free event and there will be special offers available if you’d like to take any cases away with you. Message me if you’d like to come so I can put you on the list and provide further info.

I spent last weekend at Saunton Sands in Devon for some much needed relaxation and recharging. Fortunate to be able to go surfing on a couple of beautiful sunny mornings! But Grant, how is this related to yoga teaching? Well, at the southern end of the beach (off the far left of this photo) is Crow Point, which I walked all the way to one day.

I'm now teaching a few Vinyasa Yoga classes each week Natural Fit . Each class is 45 minutes and includes breathwork, flow sequences, stretching and fun. If you're already a member I look forward to seeing you in class soon. If not, why not take a look at at this fabulous club's page and see what it has to offer.

A friendly and fun introduction to the joy and benefits of yoga! Each week we take time to go through several poses before putting them together into a flowing sequence. Beginners learn how to do poses safely and more experienced yogis have the chance to refine their technique with my guidance. Your confidence will grow with each class and you'll develop a strong foundation for your physical yoga practice. Message me or follow these links for more info...
