Richard Meer began practising yoga over ten years ago initially as a complement to his training in Capoeira, a Brazilian martial art. He found it added flexibility, strength and grace to his movements. In different ways, both disciplines cultivated calmness within him and gave him a greater understanding of himself, others and the world around. His aim in class is to share this with his students.
As his practice developed, Richard discovered Rocket yoga and immediately identified with its flowing sequences, transitions and inversions. He then completed his Rocket and Yin teacher training with The Yoga People. Richard is grateful to all his teachers, particularly Marcus Veda and Mestre Caboclin both of whom have inspired and pushed him the most.
Richard is also a Capoeira teacher.
