Tom Norrington-Davies
Ashtanga Yoga Teacher
Tom was born in Camberwell and has lived in Southeast London for most of his life.
He is authorised to teach the primary and Intermediate series as set out by the Krishna Pattabhi Jois Astanga Yoga Institute (KPJAYI / SYC) in Mysore, India. He has studied there regularly with Paramaguru R Sharath Jois since 2010.
Not only is he a teacher of Astanga Yoga. He is, first and foremost, a student of the method. Tom has been practing at Astanga Yoga London with his teacher there – Hamish Hendry – for almost two decades.. Hamish has been a true mentor to me and a major influence on his teaching style.
Tom’s path to Mysore and teaching began when he was 38, having worked in restaurant kitchens for most of his adult life. A desire to manage the stresses and strains of such an all consuming career took him to a yoga class in his local gym. Some months later he found my way to Astanga Yoga London (AYL).
AYL is one of very few places in Britain dedicated entirely to teaching Mysore style Astanga Yoga. Being able to help other students reach their potential there is an honour and a pleasure.
Parampara is a sanskrit word meaning “unbroken lineage”. It refers to the traditional way of learning and teaching this practice through direct experience. Knowledge is passed unadulterated from teacher to student through years of dedicated practice together. It is to his amazing teachers Hamish Hendry and Sharath Jois and to the transformative power of the practice that Tom dedicates his work with anyone who wants to try Astanga Yoga.
