About Us

Zen Yoga comes from a very special ancestry. Our main teacher, Julian Daizan Skinner Roshi, studied in Zen monasteries for about two decades, eventually becoming the first Englishman to go to Japan and become a full Zen Master in the Rinzai tradition. In this time he practiced the meditations and physical practices of Zen monastery life – practices designed to foster health, well-being, and physical and mental strength, as well as liberating insights into who and what we really are.

In 2007 Daizan returned to the UK to share what he’d learned. He began teaching extensively in London and throughout the UK. He has taught at search engine giant Google and universities such as Oxford and University College London (UCL).

Daizan and his students have worked together to create Zen Yoga to be a place where people can come together to practice and share in the benefits of these wonderful practices. Every single member of the team is committed to helping you to achieve your goals whether these are in the area of health, vitality, or development on a deeper level.
