Reviews of Yoga Newcastle

E. B.

I absolutely love David's classes. He is extremely experienced with an amazing wealth of knowledge of the whole practice of yoga. I love that the class I attend always incorporates pranayama and meditation as well as the physical practice. I've really noticed my all aspects of my practice improve. I have been to India a couple of times to study yoga and David's class is the closest thing I've found to that style of yoga. David's passion for yoga always comes through in the class and there is a always some fun and laughter in every session! I would highly recommend David to anyone looking for a yoga class at any level of experience as David has classes to suit everyone.

My 1st introduction to Yoga was via one of David Atkinson’s classes and straight away he put me at easy among other more experienced class members. David has a very inclusive way of teaching people of all levels and is able to included great breathing and meditation techniques into his classes. Several years later I have continued to attend his classes and also a couple of his Yoga retreats held in Same y Ling monastery in Scotland. I would thoroughly recommend his retreats too as there is more time to experience a wide range of meditation and yoga practice in a beautiful relaxing environment. Overall I find David a wonderful teacher and I am so grateful to how Yoga makes me feel!

David has been my yoga teacher for over a year. He is an excellent teacher with a holistic approach to the mind and body. I enjoy David's calm and encouraging manner and student-tailored teaching. I now practice yoga most days, and look forward to classes whenever I get the chance.

David is a fantastic Hatha Yoga instructor. Each lesson is extremely well-organized and never repetitive, incorporating a wide range of postures, breathing exercises and meditation techniques. For the more challenging postures, David always suggests a number of variations that are easier for less experienced students to follow, thereby ensuring that everyone benefits fully from the practice. I cannot recommend David’s classes highly enough!

David is one of the most authentic and friendly people I’ve ever met. David’s dedication to his own yoga practice, his depth of knowledge and understanding, is reflected in his diligent and generous approach to his teaching. David offers an array of interesting courses and extended practices which are affordable and excellent value. In addition, he hosts guest teachers from outside of the region. I have attended David’s courses and retreats for the past 4 years, which leave me feeling rejuvenated and inspired to learn more. David’s retreats cover posture practice, breath work, thai massage and meditation, interwoven with a generous dose of yoga philosophy & history. David has a unique ability to illuminate a holistic view of yoga practice, without sacrificing the depth of experiential learning for his students.

I've been to several different yoga classes over the years and David's is the best by far. I've now been going for about 3 years and plan on staying. It is both relaxing and challenging - David introduces variations to postures so you can choose whatever level you are comfortable with. Every class is different, with an emphasis on different areas or techniques - it's never repetitive or boring. Everything is explained and demonstrated, so you can't get lost, and the pace is just right. David is extremely knowledgeable, and you feel that you are in very safe hands. There are extra workshops and retreats that you can join if you wish. It is a friendly, relaxed and highly professional class.

After attending David’s classes for 4 years, I find David to be a good, experienced and knowledgeable yoga teacher. * He offers a relaxed class * He gives clear instruction * Takes care to pace postures for all levels * Talks through postures and advises different levels for students abilities * Gives advice on benefits of postures * Takes time to ensure students are doing postures correctly I always feel better after his classes.

I have been taking classes with David for over three years. In my view, David is a brilliant teacher. He is vastly experienced and hugely knowledgeable. As you would expect, he is also calm and patient! His classes are designed to challenge you but at the same time everyone is encouraged to go at his or her own pace. David brings some top teachers to Newcastle and runs some great weekend courses of his own. If you want to experience the real deal, then I can’t recommend David’s classes enough.

A. G.

I have been going to David’s classes for about four years, starting on a six week beginner course. The classes are attended by all ages, shapes and sizes and everyone is friendly. Variations on postures are always shown and gentle suggestions are made when limbs don’t quite go where they should. David’s knowledge is vast but subtly imparted and I always come away from the class, glad that I went, feeling relaxed and stretched. He is, I feel, a gentle soul with a lovely laugh and I would recommend his classes to anyone. Alison

I've been going to David's classes for many years now and would highly recommend them to anyone. I've been to various classes within the city, but David's is my first choice. I really like the variety that David brings to his classes, every one is different and provides a nice mixture of breath work and postures. He caters for all abilities and is great at helping you to develop your practice. David has a gentle and warm personality with a good sense of humour and that atmosphere is reflected in his classes.

C. C.

I have tried various yoga teachers over the past 9yrs and a year ago finally found David. His teaching is very similar to the traditional Indian style of yoga and there are classes to match every skill level. I have tried David's retreat weekend which was a brilliant intensive yoga weekend and attend his monthly Pranayama (breathing practice) sessions. I can't imagine choosing another yoga teacher here in Newcastle!

E. R.

David is a very knowledgable teacher with a great understanding of yoga practice. As a complete beginner he has taken me through to intermediate level and grown my confidence. He takes care not to allow us to hurt ourselves and doesn’t encourage us to push our bodies too hard, encouraging a slow, steady approach. I also like that he holds separate beginners classes so everyone is at a similar level. The classes are a good mix of gender and age and they are friendly and not competitive. I definitely recommend David’s classes, especially if you are a little unsure or a a complete novice.

P. T.

David combines an ability to be both serious and playful. He has an excellent knowledge of all aspects of yoga and has an open and inquiring mind . He never pushes or forces but always encourages. His classes enable you to pursue your own yoga practice with plenty of insights and suggestions . He is never judgmental if you decide to have a few moments of spontaneous movement or rest !! He clearly enjoys yoga as a whole life practice

I have been attending David's classes in Jesmond for about 18 months now - starting out as a beginner. I have never attended a regular activity for such a long period and I put this down to the gentle, welcoming and encouraging support that David gives. He creates a good atmosphere where people of all abilities feel comfortable and challenged. I have already recommended the classes to others!

l. z.

I've tried various yoga styles and teachers in Newcastle but David is the most knowledgeable and enjoyable for me. His classes are a good mix of breathing techniques and postures, suitable for every type of body and fitness level. David's classes are perfect to find relaxation and to help coping with stress at work.

G. B.

Was nervous about joining a yoga group but found David’s beginners and then follow on groups to be staggered to suit my progression. Have been going for a year now and there is no pressure or expectations on you. You can go at your own pace in a relaxed atmosphere. Attended one of the yoga weekends away with 16 others and this was managed well and was an excellent time out. Yoga with David is all gain and no pain.

Dave Atkinson is the man who is responsible for igniting the yoga flame in me, now over 10 years ago. This has opened up a world of weird, wonderful and ancient techniques, which changed things in my life for the better. Dave has been teaching yoga for along time, yet he has a constant thirst to know more and that is what keeps things interesting. Various classes cater for different levels of experience so you know you'll never be out of your depth. Dave holds regular and unique workshops / retreats that help to widen your experience of yoga, beyond asana. His credentials boast a thorough knowledge on the subject, which shows in his classes. If you're looking for the most authentic yet welcoming yoga classes, look no further.

S. H.

David is an excellent and extremely patient teacher who has a particular talent for working with mixed ability classes. His holistic approach to yoga, encompassing breathing technique, meditation and posture work is totally un-intimidating for beginners and energising and relaxing in equal measures for seasoned practitioners. I attend weekly classes with David and have also attended extended sessions and weekend retreats led by him. Each of these are well planned, thought provoking, creative and never "samey" or uninvolving. I leave every session with David, whether it be an hour, three or a weekend, feeling happier and mentally and physically healthier.

M. K.

I have been attending David's classes for nearly 7 years now. He's a wonderful teacher with wealth of experience. He creates calm and kind atmosphere in the class, and is very much in tune with the energy and needs of the class participants. Good vibes all the way. The sessions are well balanced with posture and breathing work and are 1.5 hr long! which is fantastic (I often feel rushed in other studios where you have only 1 hr). Caters for every levels and no one feels left out. You can take it easy or go for more challenging posture work. Every time I go away with work to different cities and attend classes elsewhere I do miss David's classes and alway come back to them when back in Newcastle. Highly recommend! Namaste

P. Y. R.

I know Mr David since 2010! He is a great yoga teacher, his teaches high quality yoga practice! He teaches what he practices himself. Nobody can injure from his yoga class as in my acknowledgment because his great way to adjust with his magical hands! If I m in New castle upon Tyne I wish to go and join his yoga class and recommend his class to everyone! Thank you Mr David for giving us a beautiful class!🙏

I have been attending David’s class for a few years now, and I love it. The atmosphere is both chilled and focussed, which suits me just fine. Each session is unique, so it always feels fresh and I’m constantly learning. David encourages his students to develop at their own pace and to suit their body by offering variations for each posture and useful advice for how to practice at home. He brings a good humour the practice which makes you feel relaxed and not worried about falling over – we all do it! I would also highly recommend the retreat David organises at Samye Ling. It’s perfect for anyone wanting to go a bit deeper into the practice.

L. S.

A great yoga class. David is very knowledgable and draws on his experience to offer a practice that is varied and thoughtful and suits the eclectic mix of regulars. Adaptations are offered for different levels so you can practice and progress at your own pace.

F. S.

The first time I tired David’s classes was probably about 9 or 10 years ago and to say he got me hooked was an understatement! I loved his easy going, humble teaching with a keen awareness on helping students progress with learning postures without pushing them into positions or being overly picky on posture position. His classes are relaxed, informed and fun. I have also enjoyed the luxury of one to one sessions with David for sometime and that is when I came to understand the true extent of his knowledge and how he really lives what he teaches. A rare find indeed. I have also benefited from several Thai Massage sessions which again were pitched just perfect, not too intense (as I requested) and David seems very aware and capable of working with concerns, injuries etc. He holds a wonderful space that you can leave feeling 10 inches taller and breathing much deeper. A couple of years ago I managed to attend the Spring retreat at Samye Ling which I enjoyed so much I hope to attend this autumn again. If you are looking for an authentic, relatable teacher and Thai Massage practitioner look no further. Highly recommend!

David Atkinson is an excellent yoga instructor. I can’t recommend his class enough. It’s obvious that he teaches yoga for yoga’s sake, as opposed to any sort of “lifestyle experience,” and perfectly balances technical expertise & advice with lots of yoga history and background. I find the classes extremely meditative as well as a good workout, and there are a lot of laughs along the way too. David is very professional but doesn’t take himself too seriously! I always find he has an uncanny knack for giving just the right advice or cues at the right time, whether it’s posture work or guided meditation/body scan during shavasana. A few years ago I would never have expected to consider myself a dedicated yogi, but I’m 100% convinced that it’s thanks to David I’ve stuck with it and look forward to continuing to do so.

A. O.

I can highly recommend David's yoga class (and have already done so to several friends). I started yoga with his beginner course 3 years ago and still go regularly to his classes (the yoga retreat weekend is also great)! For me, it's the right mix of exercise, relaxation and breathing techniques. The other yogis in the classes are nice and relaxed with a good gender and age mix.

S. D.

I've been going to yoga classes with David for a while now and really love them. David is a great teacher, his classes are friendly and inviting and have a good mix of physical posture work and breathing practices. I also attend his pranayama classes, which I'm really grateful for as its hard to find a pranayama only class.

c. g.

I've known David for 20 years, he is an excellent yoga teacher, combining all the most important qualities : knowledge of his subject, empathy, patience, humour & enthusiasm. He has become an essential ingredient.on our yearly Transcendental Meditation retreats at Alnmouth, Northumberland & is very popular with all the participants.

C. F.

Since taking up yoga with David just over three years ago, I've found every class accessible, encouraging and supportive. There's something valuable to take away each time, whether that is a bit of the philosophy underpinning yoga, anatomy, breathing practice or a way to challenge myself or ease up as I feel I need it.

K. B.

I tried an extended session - fantastic. Love David's inclusive approached. He manages to incorporate and share a fantastic knowledge of yoga in a relaxed yet very well lead and engaging session. Couldn't recommend more, for the beginner through to the experienced yogi.

A. F.

David is an experienced yoga teacher. I enjoy the rhythm and the relaxed atmosphere of his lessons. For me, the mix of yoga assanas, pranayama exercises and relaxation is ideal. Would definitely recommend.

C. H.

Happenstanced upon these weekly Hatha Yoga classes run by David a good number of years back. About 7 years or so I reckon. David absolutely knows his stuff with real focus on controlled breath, strength and movement. As a runner and engineer, the hours and minutes spent in these classes are invaluable. Cracking combination of posture work and calm. Dave has an exacting knowledge and passion. Shows in his practice. Thanks Man. Chris.

I've been going to David's classes for years. He is an excellent teacher with loads of experience. He always tailors the classes to the needs of the individual so that everyone can progress and get something out of it.

David is a great yoga teacher: very mindful, knowledgeable and friendly. I enjoy his approach to small-size classes, stretching all muscles in the body, but leaving me calm and recharged.

Mr David Kinson from New castle, England is a good teacher. He teaches traditional Hatha yoga, Pranayama, Mediation. He is also very good at teaching Asana adjustment. Would highly recommend to join his class if you are in New castle.

S. S.

Yoga is not about asanas and it's not science also because yoga as no birth or death it existed before birth and also after death. Yoga does not mean human form trying to achieve something in return but something beyond human expectations. This would not understood until you experience it instrinsically with extrinsic stimulations.
