Josh Pryor
Josh is a senior yoga teacher specialising in the traditional Mysore style class format, which allows students with vastly different practices to share the same encouraging space, all together at the same time while being tutored by experienced teachers.
He finished writing a book on the topic in 2020, while he was in the cities of Mysore and Rishikesh during the original Covid outbreak and subsequent lockdown. The book is called “The Spirit of the Matter” and also includes a new translation of the classic 8th century text “Yoga Tārāvalī”.
Aside from writing and running Ashtanga Yoga Newcastle, Josh is President of Yoga Australia, the peak body for yoga in this country. Josh also volunteers his time working with a not-for-profit native tree nursery and bush regeneration organisation.
Josh has studied with various Western scholars and teachers, including Srivatsa Ramaswami, Sharath Jois, and Gregor Maehle as well as some strange people in Indian ashrams.
