Having spent his whole life as a music producer and DJ, Carl somewhat stumbled across yoga when he tagged along to a class in Brighton with a friend. Looking for a way to heal the excesses of years involved in dance music, Carl found solace on the mat. Quickly sold on the idea, Carl developed his practise and went on to complete training as a yoga teacher with the Frog Lotus training program.

Fast-forward six years and Carl now co-own East London yoga studio, Stretch London with his partner Sophie. Opened in 2012, Stretch has gone from strength to strength and now offers not just yoga classes but workshops, meditation sessions, physiotherapy, acupuncture and a whole lot more. Stretch embraces and offers a range of yoga classes but their speciality is Dynamic Flow - Carl’s classes are upbeat and sure to get you moving.

Carl’s East meets West philosophy (by night Carl DJs under yoga-influenced moniker Warrior One) offers a fresh, fun and accessible approach to yoga. The studios (now located in both Broadway Market and Colombia Road) are a fun and social place where Carl and the team encourage a balanced perspective to practising yoga and mindfulness alongside a busy, modern, urban life. A community hub for the people of East London, from January 2015 fellow GTG expert Pandora Symes will be serving her healthy on-the-go food under the name of Rooted London at the studios.
