Isaac

Isaac’s journey began in the world of ballet, where he excelled technically with top ballet companies across Europe and the U.K. Despite his technical prowess, he constantly faced critiques about his need to relax his upper body, unaware at the time that he was grappling with post-traumatic stress disorder. This internal battle, combined with the immense pressure of ballet, led Isaac to leave his dance career at 25 to focus on personal healing, as his anxiety overshadowed his dreams of stardom.


Yoga, a practice he discovered at 18, became his sanctuary and pathway to recovery. Building upon his passion for asana practice, yoga therapy and sanskrit studies, Isaac went on to explore other modalities such as transcendental meditation, Wim Hof techniques and Buteyko breathwork. In his teaching, he strives to bring to his students the practices which he has found most beneficial through his own journey of healing, and hope to equip his students with tools for greater inner peace, creating a more harmonious world one class at a time.

When he is not living off grid in Portugal or teaching abroad, Isaac regularly travels to India to continue his own studies with his teachers. He is also a dedicated student of the plant and fungal medicines, having sat in ceremony with various indigenous traditions.

With his attentive teaching style, his depth of knowledge and wide range of tools for improving mental and physical health, Isaac's teachings are a precious contributions to our retreats.
