Fela remembers taking his first yoga class during his University years and feeling an overwhelming sense of peace, calm and balance.
After graduating from London College of Printing, Fela worked in fashion and music photography taking on clients such as Columbia Records, MCA Records, Kangol, Pepe Jeans, United nations and UNICEF.
His editorial work appeared in Dazed and Confused, Face, i-D, Straight No Chase. However, he soon felt disenchanted with the excesses of the fashion world and found himself seeking sanctuary more and more in his yoga practice.
Following the yogic tradition, he aligned himself with a guru whose spiritual principles he admired and began his quest into a self-inquiry, which lead him to dedicated his life to the practice and teaching of Yoga.
In 2004, Fela formally attained his Yoga teaching certificate through The Yoga Arts' Teacher Training school, the first Yoga Teacher Training in Australia to be Government accredited. In 2011 Fela completed his 500hr teacher training with INSPYA yoga.
Fela has trained in Iyengar, Ashtanga, Viniyoga and Himalayan Meditation traditions and has been teaching in Europe and in Asia for more than ten years.
He is an inspirational teacher who incorporates both the physical and mystical aspects in his practice of yoga.
Fela's classes integrate dynamic Vinyasa flow asanas, linking movement and breath with precise alignment, meditation and visualisation, in order to create an inner journey towards healing and empowerment.
His classes emphasise enjoyment while maintaining a meditative mind, regardless of the level or pace of practice.
After developing a rich student following in London, Fela relocated to Shanghai where he has been teaching Yoga classes, workshops and teacher training since 2006 and has worked as a contributing photographer for Yoga Journal China, as well as appearing on various TV channels such as International Channel Shanghai and CCTV China.
