James Richardson (he/him) is a veteran teacher and student of yoga who believes the practice can be adapted for everybody—no matter age, skill, mobility, or size. He offers his students a vigorous, classically-rooted experience that blends the tradition of alignment with modern sequencing and functional mobility and strength drills. 

His teaching style is grounded in approachable but precise alignment with an emphasis on bandhas and breath manipulation. He teaches and counts in Sanskrit but plays up-tempo music. In the same class, you'll hear EDM or tropical house while practicing fundamental postures and kriyas.
