Neal has been practicing Yoga for eighteen years and teaching since 2003. He sees Yoga as a map showing us the way to return home to a place of peace and a relaxed, heart-centered openness in each moment.

Neal’s teaching focuses on refining natural movement and alignment principles and learning to embody these principles in a way that takes our 
spiritual practice into our everyday lives. Neal is a Senior Associate Teacher with Donna Farhi – in January 2010 assisted Donna on her Advanced
 Teacher Training Program, and in 2012 and 2015 he was on the senior faculty for the training.

Neal is also part of the core faculty on the Yoga Teacher Training programs produced by Contemporary Yoga Training, which is based out of Auckland.

Neal is also an experienced Holistic and Thai Massage therapist and accomplished musician, living and teaching on Waiheke Island, and in Auckland.

Neal brings to his classes an open heart and enjoys creating a warm and inviting space in which to learn, play and practice Yoga.
