Ancient ways of living in tribes inspired me to become a yoga teacher. As well as thousand year old texts about how to live a more balanced and harmonious life. I found yoga was a way to re-connect to something we have lost.
Naturally influences come from Buddhism and Hinduism as well as from other tribal cultures providing powerful insights to living a life more connected to each other, our energy and the planet.
I teach a calm and flowing hatha vinyasa style of yoga suitable for all levels.
Classes have classic yoga sequencing, preparation for postures with a general emphasis on breath work and alignment. Keeping aware of our joints and muscles as we move through different postures.
By getting movement into the body in restricted areas yoga therapy also helps alleviate a range of issues from back pain, anxiety, MS, stress-relief and depression.
Occasionally including movements from other yoga related practices such as tai chi, mindfulness, kundalini yoga and qi gong that can help us connect to the flow of energy, prana, qi (chi) or sami in and around our bodies.
Encouraging us to re-connect to our senses and expand these beyond our physical bodies and back out into the world around us. Skills we use less and less each day in the modern world of flick a switch, re-charge that, microwave this, copy and paste that etc.
Workshops and retreats can have drumming, meditation, aromatherapy, massage oils (in savasana) or energy cleansing (palo santo). Including connecting to certain areas of the body (heart intelligence, gut instinct) as well as focusing on elements in nature and grounding down to the earth.
Workshops have themes of mindfulness, yoga therapy, expanding awareness, animal spirit guides and journeying to non-ordinary reality (e.g. lower world). All helping to bring balance to our lives and bodies.
Animal spirit guides are spirit helpers in animal form who can provide guidance for questions you have about any aspect of your life.

Fantastic yoga session with Vince Starr this morning. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to try yoga in a safe and supportive environment or who wants to improve their practice. We’re very lucky to have Vince in Selsey – make the most of him!
Vince’s “open air” fun yoga and wellbeing classes by the beach. “Yoga always blisses me out but yoga under a blue sky, by the sea with a warm wind, the sound of the waves and swift’s flying overhead – sublime. It can’t get better than that.”
“Vince is a great teacher. His classes are just the right blend of stretch, strength, stamina, flow and calming meditative reflection. He’s a very warm and generous person and this is evident in his teaching – he has an energetic and uplifting presence which really connects with his students. I always leave his classes feeling renewed and inspired.”
I like to practice Vince’s classes as I find the energy created through rhythmic flow and contemplative rest is a powerful remedy to balance my forthcoming week in the office. As a result of sound, movement and suggested thought I feel empowered and revitalised, his awareness and engagement with the class allows for moments of feeling spiritually and physically connected to the energy in the room, outside of it and within myself.
I’ve been lucky enough to have Vince teach on several of my yoga retreats and I’m always amazed at his depth of knowledge, incredible sequencing and friendly personality that puts everyone at ease. Vince has a passion for learning and sharing his knowledge. It’s always a pleasure to work with Vince and I can’t wait till next time. Highly recommended!
Yoga was amazing tonight, much needed calming practice with the beautiful evening sun on my face, blissssss!!! 🌞🌞🌞 Thank you Vince.
Vince is a wonderfully intuitive, caring & creative yoga teacher; bringing his many areas of interest, research and experience into his classes. You are in safe hands with Vince and will leave his classes feeling clear and vital.
As a novice I was looking for an instructor that knew their stuff, was in touch with the spiritual side but wasn’t pushy with it and not disappearing up their own back end. Vince ticks all those boxes and the class is perfect for all levels and is very welcoming.
