Coming from a martial arts background of kyokushin karate he sees great similarities between the two disciplines. Suffering from muscular tightness after years of quite intense training, he tried yoga and found it was the dynamics of Ashtanga that started to release the tightness in his body (and mind). He gained his British Wheel Of Yoga 'Yoga Teaching Diploma' after studying with Richard Adamo. He also holds Ashtanga teacher training certificates from Mark Freeth and has completed David Swenson's Intensive Ashtanga Teacher Training. Andreas's approach to yoga is fun. He believes you are your own teacher and tries to share his experience of yoga so you can find your own and, like all great things, experiences change daily. He still continues to train under Richard Adamo and David Swenson, while attending as many courses and workshops as possible with other teachers such as Danny Paradise, David Williams, Matthew Sweeney, Russell Case and Brian Cooper to name a few.
