“Our Yoga "Journey " started with seeing a post on the local Facebook page advertising "Yoga for Beginners" and a decision to go along to see if it would help a bad back. Mick's instruction and guidance is fantastic. He is an extraordinarily knowledgeable and hugely experienced teacher who is very patient and passionate about how yoga and meditation can help. This rubs off onto the class. We soon became hooked and found both physical and mental benefits we never imagined. After each class we come home with more energy, feeling taller(which is a massive benefit to a 5 ft short person ) and in a better state of mind....calmer, happier and able to see the world in a different way.

Fast forward 12 months and we have had part of our garage converted in a brilliant yoga space for us to use at home.

We both wish we started Yoga sooner!

So if you get the chance please give it a go!”

I thoroughly enjoyed the course! Each session was powerful and enlightening. Even on difficult days, I felt better for attending. Over the eight weeks, I became more confident, calm in a crisis, and generally more positive. This practice has become an amazing tool for navigating life’s rollercoaster. I can’t wait to continue my journey in the Learning Circle.”

“Mick’s friendliness and teaching style made the course utterly divine. It was interactive, student-focused, and confirmed what we innately knew — a true game-changer. I loved how the sessions were about us, not just a textbook experience.”

“Excellent value for money — the best yoga teacher I’ve encountered in 20 years of practice. Mick’s passion is infectious and illuminating. The retreat venue was perfect, the food plentiful and accessible, and the environment beautiful. I’m already planning to integrate his teachings into my future career.”

Dear Mick, I want to thank you again. I received so much from you . When I first saw you, the smile you had reminded me of something deep inside me. It was only after your teaching session and at home it all clicked. The teaching of how to hold the feeling in my hands and then in my body all came to life. The smile I have had many times over the years would come and go as quick. The feeling was amazing but I did not understand where it came from and how to get it back. After your teaching, I can bring it back at will and hold it. I call it the smile of connection. Thank you so much. It's like having an amazing light reaching down through the crown of my head and it sends a feeling of great warmth and happiness. I want to use your book to pass your teaching on to my young grandsons.

I attended your 'Secret of Yoga' session at the International Yoga Festival. I just wanted to tell you I thought it was incredible. I came to try and tell you afterwards but someone else was talking to you for a while. I have never experienced meditation so deep and intense. I really liked how you were reminding us to 'Stay there', it really helped me to stay focused throughout. The lady next to me also said the same thing.
Thanks for spreading your techniques!

Mick is an inspirational teacher. His style is relaxed, open and approachable. His vision of #makehappywork makes meditation an attainable reality. Highly recommend learning to meditate with him and also his meditation teacher training programme - his training has been fundamental to the work I do.

Eleanor

I keep listening to the audio meditations, a lifesaver.

Tonight marks the end of my yoga for anxiety course, but the beginning of a new phase of self discovery and spirituality. I’m amazed how much I’ve learnt and how much my situation has changed over the last six weeks and I’ve only scratched the surface…

 Jenny

Hi Mick, I attended your workshop on Friday at the yoga show and thought it was amazing, my first experience with meditation, wow!!

 Lisa

“We’ve all been on courses, but real learning happens when you apply it in daily life. If you struggle to bring meditation and yoga into the everyday, this book will unblock you. Mick’s teachings are clear, practical, and rooted in decades of experience. Don’t wait to get started.”

Mary

“I’ve just completed my first eight-week beanddo™ meditation course. Mick is inspirational — upbeat, fun, and engaging. The course was informative, with logical building blocks, encouragement, and support, all delivered in a beautiful environment. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone wishing to change their perspective and improve their experience of life!”

Beverley

“Mick’s teaching showed me how to bring the feeling of joy and connection into my body at will. I call it the ‘smile of connection.’ It’s a warm, deep feeling I can carry anytime, and I want to share these teachings with my young grandsons. Truly transformative.”

Fiona

I attended Mick’s ‘Secret of Yoga’ session at the International Yoga Festival. It was incredible. I’ve never experienced meditation so deep and focused. His reminders to ‘stay there’ kept me fully present — an unforgettable experience. Thank you for spreading these techniques!”

Eleanor

“My housemate and I really enjoyed Mick’s class. It was insightful and something we’ll continue. As hospital doctors, life is stressful and switching off is difficult — this class helped us do just that.”

Hannah

“I’m currently on your Yoga for Anxiety course and love it. I have recurrent depression and over the past five years I’ve tried books, meds, meditation and yoga courses, even a yoga teacher training. Although they helped, I genuinely feel like something has changed since starting your classes. I don’t know if it’s the cumulative effect, the course content, the way you teach, or finally being ready — probably all of it — but I’m so grateful. I’ve even decided to sign up for the Meditation Teacher Training course starting in September!”

Laura

I just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed your classes over the years and how much of an impact it has made on me.

Sam

These last four years, you have made my life better in many many ways. I was joyless, sick, depressed and negative. Yoga, and in particular the meditation aspect, has literally taught me how to live and how to take care of myself, my body, my mind, my heart. I'm difficult to teach but your passion, knowledge, commitment and dedication to the true yoga was exactly what I needed. Your authenticity was so important to me when I was so filled with negativity.

I can't thank you enough for being exactly the person I needed in my life at my worst moment :)

You introduced me to meditation in a way that I had never experienced before and it all began to make more sense. I Read your book and this was the catalyst to finding a local teacher which I did last autumn. From there, this has become a staple for my wellbeing, so I just wanted to let you know that.

Thanks so much and I think your online offering is wonderful.

Marie

There are few times in your life that you can actually remember every little nuance and word spoken especially in a training situation, however Mick's friendliness and the way in which he taught enthused the group and made the whole experience utterly divine! Confirming and encouraging what we innately knew was a game changer. interactive and made the course about the students and not a talking shop/textbook experience. Loved it!

Laura

I took part in your workshop on Friday the 19th of May at the OM Yoga show and I just wanted to say THANK YOU!

I found it absolutely inspiring, I have been doing Iyengar yoga for around 2 years but have never actually tried meditation 'properly' I have only dabbled a couple of times when unable to sleep.

You were certainly right about the world being in HD afterwards, it was amazing, I felt like I had just had the best sleep ever! I am going to spend some time looking on your website and hopefully will be able to attend one of your Deansgate sessions.

Thanks again!
