about
phil is well into the second decade of devoted daily yoga practice. reluctant to teach & slow to learn- he eventually came to understand that teaching was an extension of practice- in being able to share some insights and the subtle bliss of the mind in its natural state
phil has received more transmissions in buddhist traditions than he can remember at this point. he is a very poor practitioner- frequently grasping at a self & attributing a solidity to the waking experience for eons… only occasionally recalling that all samsara & nirvana are the luminous displays of the empty mind- the root of which is baseless.
in a previous incarnation (in this life) phil completed some formal education, including a PhD. After finishing a research position (oxford) he has committed his life to the study of yogas. Phil has completed several yoga specific trainings (Senior Yoga Teacher, RYT500), the most recent being with Prof. Thurman et al.
phil has been the co-owner & managing director of sangye yoga school since 2011. He views the running of the school as an extension of practice- to be of benefit to others and a small drop in the ocean of trying to fulfil the enormity of the bodhisattva vow.
