Rex
Rex believes Yoga should be accessible to everyone regardless of age or ability and designs his classes to accommodate all levels and abilities where possible. He can provide Yoga retreats with us.
Rex’s interest and fascination with science led him to study Applied Biology at Trent University. Travelling then led him to spend 2 years in Central and East Asia where he spent time trekking through the Himalayas reaching the Thong La Pass at 5500m in Nepal. While in India, Rex had the honour of meeting His Holiness the Dali Lama and received treatments from his Tibetan Physician Yeshi Dhonden. He also did a Buddhist Meditation and Philosophy course at Tushita Retreat. Rex’s love & passion of yoga and eastern philosophy blossomed in India and he has practiced this ever since.
On his return to the UK, Rex enrolled on a 3 year Diploma in Shiatsu Massage and went on to have his own complementary therapy clinic. Over the last 20 years Rex has continued to add to his skillset; different styles of Yoga at a more in-depth level, Neural Linguistic Programming (NLP), Life/Professional Coaching and Reiki to Masters Level.
The classes Rex provides are a mix of Hatha, Vinyasa Flow and with his Chinese medicine background Yin Yoga (before Yin Yoga was even a term) with Pranayama breath work and the movement of energy through the subtle body (Kriya Yoga) a key part of his classes. Rex is famous for his Deep Relations (Shavasana) at the end of his classes.
We have no doubt you will enjoy every minute of your Yoga retreat at Ash Tree Barns with Rex at the helm, leaving refreshed and energised.

The story behind VanVino…
Johnny initially took the ‘sensible’ route in life, with a corporate career. But, during board meetings, he would often find his mind wandering back to his upbringing in a large, close-knit family of food and drink connoisseurs, history buffs and storytellers. They loved nothing more than after-dinner get-togethers to entertain each other with large tales over small snifters. It was during one of these mind-wandering nights that the idea for VanVino was born and Johnny immediately started plotting his great corporate escape. The rest, as they say, is history-in-the-making… For more information on experiences VanVino can offer please visit www.vanvino.co.uk.

Hen party life drawing class
Getting a gorgeous, nude man to come to your hen party and show your hens how to do life drawing… what a great idea! The group doesn’t have to know anything about drawing or have any experience.
As well as being a slim, muscular male model, I’m also an artist and tutor and I’ve been teaching life drawing for many years. I love drawing the nude and will encourage your hens to do the same, to sit back and enjoy the male form. The class won’t be a serious art lesson but your hens will learn some basic skills in drawing. They’ll be amazed to see their sketches improve!
How it works: The hen party art class is held in a warm room with enough seating. I can bring along the art materials, supplied at cost. My sketchpads make lovely souvenirs of the party. We’ll draw in pencil and charcoal. You should allow at least 2 hours for the class. I find that they work best when everyone has had a drink or two and they no longer worry about how good they are at drawing!
