"Even a few months later I can still feel the impact of the energy and intention he brought to the experience. His approach to yoga, breathwork, and teaching was highly professional and deeply inspiring. I truly recommend Josh to everyone!"

"If you are searching for an authentic, committed, kind, sensitive teacher who is capable of guiding you safely to your limit and beyond, Josh Rivers is who you want. He is a natural mentor with years of experience, evidently spent pushing his own limits and knowledge to bring forth lessons born of personal experience, and gracious ways of sharing them that feel like a guided journey through one's own experiences rather than an indoctrination or manufactured teaching. He is a true friend, and I am grateful to have met him."

"Josh is a great yoga teacher. He offers clear and insightful guidance, always providing helpful corrections that make a real difference in deepening the practice. He has a lot of knowledge across many different aspects of yoga, from technique and alignment to philosophy and breath work. It was genuinely a pleasure to have him as a teacher, and I feel very grateful for the experience. I would highly recommend Josh to anyone looking to grow their yoga practice with the support of a skilled and dedicated teacher."

"Shadow work isn’t easy. Illuminating the parts of you that are buried deep in your darker side isn’t comfortable. But equally it isn’t as scary as it sounds… well, not when working with the wonderful Josh.
The process is hard to describe succinctly other than it being a talking therapy in the main with a practical, supporting tool kit of yogic breath-work & meditation.
To find an analogy that is relatable and at the same time isn’t littered with self-care clichés is challenging.
The best I can come up with is walking into a darkened room with only a single candle to light your way. At first, stepping into the darkness is intimidating. But once inside, your eyes get accustomed to the dark and you start to see things more clearly. With time, the space becomes familiar, you get to know your way around and then become more comfortable with what is there. Fear is replaced with understanding which brings peace to your surroundings.
Think of Josh’s role as cupping his hands around the candle to stop it blowing out - protecting the flame when there is a sudden draft, ensuring that you are never in total darkness and that you feel safe to explore.
I have nothing but praise for Josh’s warm, non-judgemental, encouraging style
& so much gratitude -The shadow work I have done with Josh has brought me a much greater depth of understanding of myself. The benefits have impacted positively on so many aspects of my life.
If you are interested in doing this kind of self-discovery work, I wholeheartedly recommend you do it with Josh…. Please take this as a ‘glowing’ reference."

"I met Josh during my Yoga Teacher Training, and from the very first day I felt his authenticity, wisdom, and the deeply human way in which he holds space. His guidance became a fundamental part of my journey as a teacher —not only for what he shared on the mat, but for how he invited us to look within with honesty and compassion.
Later on, I had the opportunity to work with him in one-on-one shadow work sessions, which turned out to be a truly transformative experience. His presence, clarity, and deep listening helped me recognize and embrace parts of myself that were waiting to be seen and integrated.
I am deeply grateful for the way he supports and guides —with respect, grounded wisdom, and an open heart. His work has been a key part of my own path of self-discovery and expansion.
Thank you for being a light on the journey, for your truth, and for reminding me that everything we are —both light and shadow— can be held in love."

"Josh's presence was very grounding and his teaching style / pedagogy was challenging enough (so I could progress) yet very reassuring. He consistently showed up with a positive, supportive energy and provided relevant feedback after each evaluation, so I could have clarity about what I was doing well and what I could improve.
The breathing / meditation workshops with Josh (loving kindness one and the Tummo technique) were revolutionary to me. It opened my heart and my consciousness to a new level. Josh was also able to share some of his personal story and evolution of his yoga journey which helped me to relate and feel a sense of community."
Isabelle, UK
"Josh was a wonderful teacher at my teacher training course. I enjoyed hearing him talk about philosophy as I could tell he had lots of passion for it. I learnt many things from Josh and loved talking to him. Josh is very approachable and understanding, he took many things into consideration and got to know the group he was teaching on a personal level."
Dan, UK
"The strongest recommendation I can offer is that Josh is, quite simply, the most passionate professional in his field that I have ever met. His thirst for knowledge and the way he translates that into meaningful learning for his students is unmatched.
He is not only an exceptional teacher but also an exceptional person. It was a genuine pleasure getting to know him during my training, and I would confidently recommend any work he produces, knowing it will be deeply researched, thoughtfully designed, and expertly delivered."
Helena, Denmark
"Josh is an inspiring yoga teacher. He shares his teachings with enthusiasm, and his energy is authentic and present. In a yoga class, Josh guides with a strong focus on body awareness and spiritual depth – I thought I already had a favourite yoga teacher until I met Josh. His instruction and guidance are my favourite. I feel strong, embodied, and present in his classes. One day, I hope to become just as skilled a yoga teacher. I feel so lucky to have had him as a yoga teacher for my YTT."
Tyler, USA
Josh loves what he does, in a very genuine and authentic way.
Information he teaches is so easily digestible and actionable, because of this.
It was a privilege to have done my 200hr with him.
