Craig Higson-Smith maintains a steady, mindful yoga practice that grounds his daily life. A qualified yoga teacher, he blends mindful movement and breathwork in his classes to help students reconnect with their bodies, calm the nervous system, and rediscover a sense of ease and balance—especially for those navigating emotional
or physical challenges.

With a doctorate in psychology and over thirty years of international humanitarian and human rights experience, Craig brings warmth, insight, and compassion to his teaching.

His work and research explore human consciousness, drawing on
psychology, philosophy, neuroscience, and cross-cultural perspectives to understand how people around the world experience and make sense of awareness and selfhood.

He has collaborated with traditional healers and practitioners from diverse cultural contexts, including Indigenous communities in North America, the Caribbean, Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.

Craig fosters a space where participants learn as much from one another as from his guidance, creating a vibrant, supportive learning community.

He lives with his long-time partner and spends as much time as possible in nature, hiking or scuba diving, continually deepening his own practice and nurturing connection—to himself, the
world, and the community around him.
