I’m Ben, and I have been a mover and shaker my whole life – my mum honestly wanted to strangle me as a kid because I wouldn’t sit still. I practice yoga everyday, whether it’s a full practice or a short improvisation on my mat at home. I will do yoga anywhere, anytime, any-day, including waiting in a yogic squat for the train, in a deep forward fold in a park, or in a warrior three in K-Mart. I love and adore my partner and friends, and hold them close to my heart. I have a profound love for animals, especially for cavalier’s, cavoodles and long-haired chihuahua’s.. Embarrassing, I know.. I cherish my Colombian partner and I love that we share our own pet-sitting service and an amazing vegan chocolate business. We love travelling the world together and enjoying Melbourne’s art’s scene… And, I also force him to watch trashy reality tv shows with me even though he despises them.
I feel incredibly lucky and grateful to do what I do; it honestly feels like I have never worked a day in my life. As a professional dancer with over a decade of dedicated yoga / dance practice, movement is truly in my bones. I am so passionate about sharing all the amazing things I have learned from incredible teachers around the world. I truly believe in the powerful and life-changing power of yoga and embrace embodying it’s physical, mental and emotional benefits throughout my entire life. I want to be able to practice yoga until the day I die.
Ben’s classes are considered, meaningful, poetic, creative and insightful. He loves empowering each yogi to find their own authenticity within their practice, with a focus on creating strong yet seamless flows that embody fluidity and spaciousness. His flows feel like a moving meditation where time evaporates, allowing you to step into your day with breath and ease.
