Guy Powiecki

Meet Guy – A Teacher of Depth, Precision & Heart.

Guy’s journey with yoga began in an academic setting, studying Yoga and Buddhism as part of his university theology degree. But it wasn’t until nearly a decade later that the practice truly claimed his life. What started as a physical healing journey soon transformed into a profound exploration of the mind, body, and the very nature of existence.

With over ten years of teaching experience, Guy brings a rare blend of intellectual depth, practical expertise, and embodied wisdom to every class. His extensive studies span Ashtanga, Hatha, alignment-based practice, pranayama, philosophy, Yin, and meditation. He has spent several years immersed in traditional practice in Asia, living and studying in yoga institutions and monasteries. His principal teachers include Richard Freeman, Sri O.P. Tiwari, and Bhante Bodhidhamma.

Guy’s teaching is both challenging and deeply mindful. Grounded in the psychological and philosophical roots of the yoga tradition, his classes are designed to support real transformation – psychologically, energetically, and physically. He weaves together postures, breathwork, and meditation into an integrated experience that meets students where they are and helps them grow.

A core teacher on Yogayama’s 500-hour programs, Guy is also one of Europe’s most experienced pranayama instructors. Certified as a personal trainer, he brings a nuanced understanding of the body’s mechanics to his work; whether on the mat or in daily life.

Outside the studio, you might find Guy on a Buddhist meditation retreat (when family life allows), diving deep in freediving adventures, or sharing his surprisingly vast knowledge of sharks.
