Veronique Piercy

Veronique is a believer that Yoga is for every body, and encourages students to get to know their own individual frames through the breath. Years of being the least flexible person in the room has taught her that yoga is never about how asanas (poses) look aesthetically, but rather about exploring how they feel in the body.

Focusing on the connection between mind and body, Richard’s classes interweave yoga philosophy with creative flows. They will leave you smiling and energised, and reflecting on your practice beyond the mat.

Drawing on the various heritages of vinyasa yoga, his teaching combines the discipline of ashtanga with the creativity of rocket. Expect to be challenged and inspired in both body and mind, knowing that no visit to the mat is ever wasted!

He also teaches an accessible chair flow, adapted to suit people with limited mobility, consistent with his belief that yoga truly is for every body.

Off the mat, Richard lives in south east London and is also a celebrant, delivering bespoke and unforgettable weddings and funerals.
