What was your journey to becoming a yoga teacher?
I started practising yoga towards the end of 2015 and it rapidly became an important part of my life. Certainly for a few years before becoming a teacher I'd felt at the back of my mind it would probably happen at some point, but without a clear idea of where or with whom. When the opportunity arose to study with the amazing Ambra Vallo then I realised it was the perfect time - and I haven't looked back since...
If you weren’t a yoga teacher, what would you be?
Musician or software engineer.
How does practicing yoga help your day to day life?
It provides a real sense of perspective. Practising yoga may not change anything else that's going on in the world, but it does change how you perceive and interact with it.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve been given?
Something I always try to keep in mind when practising yoga (or anything else) is a quotation from the great Catalan cellist Pablo Casals (coming from my background as a musician) - "the key to good practice is honesty".
A fun fact about you?
My name is so common that there's a golf tournament in America only open to people called Robert Jones (I get invited to it every year on Facebook)
