# Derek Osborn - Yoga Teacher and Spiritual Guide
Derek Osborn is an experienced yoga instructor based in Broseley, Shropshire, with over 70 years of personal yoga practice and more than five decades of teaching experience. He serves individuals and groups seeking to deepen their understanding of yoga beyond physical exercise, offering instruction across all levels.
Rather than focusing solely on contemporary fitness-oriented yoga, Osborn distinguishes himself through his comprehensive approach to yoga-dharma, encompassing the spiritual and philosophical dimensions of the ancient practice. His credentials include study with leading British yoga teachers and direct training at the ashram of his guru Swami Pranavananda Brahmendra Avadhuta in Tamil Nadu, India. He has facilitated yoga courses internationally, including in France.
Osborn primarily serves adult practitioners interested in authentic yogic teachings. His clientele ranges from beginners to advanced practitioners, as well as community groups seeking educational talks on yoga philosophy. He no longer offers regular weekly classes but remains available for specialist instruction, group presentations, and satsang (spiritual discussion) sessions.
What sets Osborn apart is his rejection of commercialised yoga culture in favour of traditional teachings. His website functions as an extensive resource library, offering free articles, course notes, and teachings reflecting yoga's non-proprietary spirit. His willingness to speak to groups without charge (expenses only) and his emphasis on the transformative, philosophical aspects of yoga practice rather than purely physical benefits demonstrates his commitment to preserving authentic yogic traditions for contemporary practitioners.
