Diversity advocate. Mad about music. Creative across many forms.

 

Hi! I am Luis.  I am an Advanced Certified Jivamukti Yoga teacher, born and bred in London. I trained classically for several years as an actor and have also spent many years working in the fashion industry. I completed the Jivamukti teacher training in 2014 with Sharon Gannon and David Life and have been a devoted student of yoga since 2007.

I hold a Foundation Degree in Acting, a BA (Hons) in Acting, and a PG Diploma in Performance (Musical Theatre). As an Advanced Certified Jivamukti Yoga teacher, I have been teaching since 2014.

What cracks your heart open? “Live music across all genres and styles. Weather over 30 degrees. Exquisite food and wine.”

“I started practising regularly with Luis while recovering from an injury, and I can 100% say that his classes were pivotal in helping me to get my strength back – and doing so in the safest possible way. His classes are so beautifully paced, making each one feel like a moving meditation. My brain and body always feel so much better after practising with him.” - Nadine Sharkey

“I love Luis’ classes: rooted in the Jivamukti Yoga method, they are rigorous, thoughtfully sequenced and reflect his depth of teaching experience. Luis weaves yoga philosophy through the asana practice bringing to it his own, often humorous, always perceptive, interpretation based on his own practice (on and off the mat).” - Jane Massey

“Luis’s technical accuracy and his deep knowledge of the asana and the Yoga Sutra are a source of inspiration. His ability to share that knowledge has helped me to deepen my practice. Luis also has a wonderful ability to inject levity and humour, making every class both enlightening and enjoyable.” - David Robertson
