Testimonials
“I would like to thank you for all your support and kindness. I had a great year and certainly a good part of it was due to your presence, your classes, your books and your encouragement. Thanks for your absolutely fabulous classes.”
Ana
“Norman's thorough, mindful approach to asana helped to clear my mind and re-focus on alignment. By the end of the retreat, I felt refreshed and rejuvenated.”
Lucia
“Norman has many stories to tell, and his wise words are always a source of inspiration, laughter and guidance. He manages to bring some lightness and wisdom to classes, and his 4 hour long Yin workshops are like a treat – from stories, words of awareness, gentle postures and fluffy blankets, an afternoon on the mat never felt that good! His approach is also quite unique: intertwining the physicality of Ashtanga yoga with softer ‘yin’ postures, meditation insights and a sense of humour, his depth of knowledge transpires and makes each class special and enjoyable.”
Inna
“Norman's classes are like those few minutes when you wake up, slowly coming out of the fog and into consciousness, but spread over an hour a half. He is a generous teacher, bringing us all with him as he has grown. I would not be without my weekly wake-up.”
Eva
“Norman combines a wealth of experience and knowledge with a compassionate and thoughtful approach. He also has a great line in quotes and stories! I really value his mindful approach, and I continue to learn so much from his classes.”
