One word from a satisfied client is worth a thousand from me, so I'll shut up and let some others get a word in.
“Keith Grant worked for Havering College over a period of two years, delivering yoga sessions to community groups at a variety of locations. Keith was able to tailor his sessions to meet the needs of the particular clients – some with physical disabilities, some with mental illness. His approach was always gentle and encouraging, and he quickly developed a rapport with the clients, giving them the confidence they needed to develop their knowledge of yoga and it’s benefits. Keith’s experience and professionalism were evident throughout his employment and I would have no hesitation in recommending him as a yoga instructor.” Liz Millington Community Development Manager Havering College Essex
“Keith Grant is by far the most skilled and impressive Yoga teacher I have encountered. He has a very broad depth of knowledge and is a shining embodiment of all that is good about yoga. Keith knows when to push you, and how to get the most from you - you always get the sense that he wants you to share in something special. Add to that, he is very diligent, professional, kind and has a sense of playfulness and humour that flows through the sessions. I cannot recommend him highly enough as yoga teacher and human being.” Adam Eason Hypnotherapist & Personal Development Guru
“Keith Grant was my first (and to date only) Yoga instructor and for a period of 2 years I very much enjoyed at least 2 sessions per week in various group Glen Campbell Learning & Development Business Partner
“I discovered yoga 6 years ago when I attended a class facilitated by Keith Grant on a whim. I immediately realised that I had stumbled on an incredibly talented and motivational teacher and was hooked. Keith delivers teaching in a relaxed and professional way, focusing on the needs of the individual. His experience and skill is instantly obvious as he adjusts instruction to suit/ challenge your ability and needs. Keith has an enviable physical talent and moves gracefully through the postures in a seemingly effortless way, which is magic and inspirational. However it is Keith’s enthusiasm for and knowledge of the subject, coupled with his warm and friendly rapport which makes him the perfect tutor. I wholeheartedly recommend Keith to any individual, group or organisation who is considering utilising his talents.” Chris Shaw BSc, ANLP
“I have been attending yoga classes conducted by Keith Grant for over two years and I’ve found him to be an excellent teacher: he knows how to encourage all types of students, with his patient, modest and warm manner.Keith is conscientious, hard working and always applies himself 100%. He has proved extremely popular with all of his students.With a vast amount of knowledge relating to the physical and spiritual aspects of yoga, Keith has a knack of expressing complex ideas in a coherent way. While he is obviously extremely well read, I have observed him demonstrate many advanced postures with great modesty, skill and dexterity.On a personal note Keith has been a great inspiration to me, guiding me through my first pregnancy with discreet care and attention. I wish him all the success he deserves – his future students are lucky indeed!” Emma Bell BA (Hons.) Distinction, RSA CTEFLA
“I have been practising Yoga with Keith Grant roughly twice a week since I arrived in Keith's home one Friday morning with very limited experience, he made me feel very welcome & relaxed. I took up Yoga to bring together my mind body & soul (& so I could balance on my hands of course!). Keith's understanding of your goals are excellent & his instructing is controlled & flowing, his knowledge is second to none; he's very experienced in his own right. I’ve had many injuries through my sporting career so I’m as tight as a bit of leather, so yoga is not easy for me, but Keith makes the classes fun even though I’ve got beads of sweat running off my nose. It’s very rewarding. Even my partner has taken up lessons with Keith. My relationship with Keith has grown & I already regard him as a friend, he's a good guy & a good teacher.” Justin Cox Personal Trainer
“During Keith’s time at The Club I found his obvious enthusiasm for the job meant that he quickly established himself as a popular member of our teaching staff. Iwould highly recommend Keith Grant as a Yoga Instructor. I wish him all the best for the future.” Matt Turner Health and Fitness Manager The Club at Meyrick Park
“I am a previous student of Keith's teachings, and I can confirm he is an extremely professional, considerate, motivating, understanding and staggeringly knowledgeable teacher. This is due to Yoga being a major part of his life. Sean O’Byrne Client Integrations Manager Deutsche Bank London
“Having been encouraged by my wife to attend yoga sessions with Keith Grant I duly went along. Coming from a running background I was interested in using yoga as a form of cross training and improving core stability.I was really pleased with the results that came with Keith’s sessions. I found my lung capacity increased, my posture in everyday life and whilst running also improved and felt strength around the abdomen and lower back. "Keith’s sessions were certainly challenging requiring strength, flexibility and stamina leaving you with a sense of achievement. At the end of each session there was a feeling of being energised and having done a good work out.An element I wasn’t expecting was that yoga was a great method for reducing stress and built up tension and Keith’s sessions were a far cry from the stereotypical group sitting around meditating.Now that my work schedule has changed I’m looking forward to getting back into yoga and rebuild on aspects of my body and mind I’ve lost since.” Simon Davies Manager Up and Running, Bournemouth
“I attended Keith's Stress Management sessions during an extremely difficult time for me. Everything had gotten on top of me and I was having panic attacks and just burning myself out. Keith's techniques helped me manage my emotional stress and get back in control of my life. Keith was very understanding and being able to talk to him at that time itself was a weight of off my shoulders. Since that time, I have found that the techniques I learnt with Keith have also helped in other areas of my life. I am a lot calmer in general these days and have also found that certain visualisation techniques help me keep calm under pressure when competing at different sports. Along with this testimonial I would just like to say thanks again for your help. You are also a very good friend.” Tom Courtney
“Keith Grant worked for the Sports Development Unit for two years as a Yoga Instructor and has played a very important role in putting the Community first by providing an excellent service. The Yoga classes offered specialist instruction to a wide range of ages and abilities and Keith welcomed anyone into the class. The participant numbers were consistent throughout the years, which in turn led to a high social benefit for the participants. Keith built up good relationships with myself and the participants and there was only praise for his sessions.” Yiota Charalambous Community Sports Development Officer London Borough of Barking & Dagenham
“I have been a student of Keith's for over 6 years. I had tried other forms of yoga with other teachers before trying Keith's lesson. Since then there has been changes in many aspects of my life both physically and mentally. I've become a much calmer person and have found that through the sessions I don't stress out about little things so much. Other benefits that I have noticed are in my posture in the way I walk and I get a lot of pleasure and a sense of well being from Keith's sessions and
“My daughter and l started yoga lessons with Keith Grant in August 2007. My daughter had been suffering with M.E. and l was rather unfit, since then we have both experienced significant benefits. Keith's relaxed, friendly but firm approach has enabled us to develop a range of exercises that we can use at home. From being a sceptical stroppy teenager my daughter has been won over and now approaches each session in a positive frame of mind. It's hard to put a value on how much Keith has helped us both and l cannot recommend his services highly enough.” Bridgette C. “My Yoga experience began just over two years ago at a class with Keith. I usually hid at the back and avoided some of the positions making age and lack of strength my excuse! Now I have a weekly private lesson so there’s no hiding away – I have to work really hard. Keith has been fantastic in challenging me and giving me the confidence to attempt things that I would have avoided before. I never thought that it was possible to become stronger and more flexible at the age I am. Most people are so busy telling you about the things that you won’t be able to achieve as the years creep on! So – my advice is to take up Yoga. Enjoy it but take it seriously – it will change your life! Thanks Keith – I am now growing younger by the week!” Diana Nesbitt Counsellor
"Keith Grant was my teacher throughout 2003. He is truly an inspirational teacher and as a teacher myself my practice and my teaching improved immensly. His passion for yoga shows through his teaching, his practice, and also in his personal life. His down to earth approach will appeal to the beginner student and his wealth of knowledge to anyone would like to deepen their practice. In my opinion he is one of the best teachers in the area and we are lucky to have him here in Dorset!!" Kim Jones Yoga Teacher “I attended yoga classes for a period of 10 weeks and really enjoyed the one-on-one sessions. I had not previously done any kind of yoga and was a total beginner. I started because I wanted to become more flexible and toned and also thought it was a more healthy form of exercise than any other I had participated in before (football, tennis) and didn't fancy a group class. The sessions were hard work but very enjoyable and you only get out what you put in. If you don't practise in your own time you don't advance as quickly and Keith can spot this a mile off!! He has a friendly approach and also encourages you to constantly try harder and improve. My classes were broken into easy to complete small stages which were then put together into a longer routine at the end of the class culminating in a complete yoga movement. I found this easy to follow and to remember for practising at home. The class would end with some meditation which was another aspect I had joined for in the first place.” James Roberts
“I have been one of Keith's students for just over 4 years. In that time I have become proficient in a large number of postures and now utilise what I have learnt from Keith throughout my daily life. I originally tried yoga to deal with general posture and backache problems as well as the everyday stresses we all contend with.
