Kyle Dale

Kyle emerged one day to arrive at Yoga Source as stiff as a walking stick.  Taken under the grace of Mama Therishna, with help from other influences such as jazz, Kyle has softened into a stand-up, easy to like, semi-presentable instructor.  Using his way with words to deepen the introverted focus of the practice whilst keeping lots of precision in the outer form, Kyle keeps the practice available to all levels.  Having trained right here at Yoga Source, his methods immediately reflect the needs of the community.
