TEXT: ANTONIO BLANCO   Antonio first encountered Yoga in 1997 in Mexico, and was instantly drawn by the effects of its practice - which differed greatly to what he had previously experienced in competitive sports.  After earning his certification with the British wheel of yoga, Antonio continued to develop his teaching and, with the mentoring of his teacher Alaric Newcombe, he earned his Introductory level 1 and 2 certification in Iyengar yoga in 2018.  Antonio teaches in a lively yet precise and thorough manner, encouraging clarity, and a bit of joy!
