Originally advised to try yoga in 2014 to manage stress and heal his spine from BMX-related injuries, Sean found a sense of stillness and challenge.
Upon completing his first training in India in 2017 he began teaching in Sri Lanka. Each year he would return to India for 2-3 months to assist (and eventually teach) at the same school where he received his certification.
For the last 3 years, he has lived and worked in HK, teaching Yoga full-time.
With a background in Ashtanga, Vinyasa, and Rocket his classes lean toward the dynamic.
Drawing on his background as a Speech and Language Pathologist, Sean emphasizes clarity of communication in his classes, deconstructing complex poses into simple steps. This empowers and enables students to advance their practice through understanding the rationale (the why) behind the postures (the what).
