Yoga Teaching
Yoga, as a practice and a way of life:
Originally studying Photography and painting, Moray also views his physical practice as an art-form. He has recently moved to the U.S. and is pursuing and nurturing his practicing of Yoga in New York City. Moray has been practicing the Asanas from the age of 14. In 2005, he completed his 200 hour Yoga teaching certification in ‘Hatha Vinyasa Yoga’, graduating from the Laughing Lotus school of Yoga, taught by Dana Flynn and Jasmine Tarkeshi. More recently, Moray completed an intensive training in the physical aspects of Ancient Ayurveda Yoga, with Sarah Tomlinson at the Ayurveda Institute in New York.
With over 6 years of teaching experience Moray hopes to inspire and encourage new people to discover the joys of all aspects of Yoga while helping existing Yogis improve and expand their understanding of the practice.
He now immerses himself in the physical, philosophical and disciplinary aspects of both Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga. While also incorporating the philosophies and practices of Iyenger, healing techniques and restorative aspects from the science Ayurveda and energizing strength building of Kundalini.

Art and Painting
Moray Watson attended Edinburgh College of Art in Edinburgh, Scotland, where he focused on design, painting, illustration and photography. He has successfully had gallery exhibits within the UK. Moray’s art merges both classical and modern by merging his unique interpretation with original techniques (predominantly self taught), incorporating experimentation and personal expressiveness. His acrylic paintings are a combination of textured effects, color systems, washes, frescos and relief lines which are displayed in a passionate, emotion-fueled and yet delicate way, full of movement inspired by the subject matter. His works are both atmospheric and expressive, exploring the effects of light and colour. Moray’s main inspirations come from his love of seascapes and sailing, which influence the structure and the emotional effect of his work.
Although his main focus has not always been Fine Art, he has enjoyed a variety of colorful working environments from owning his own framing business and gallery to becoming a certified Yoga instructor. This in turn has helped him avoid the conventions of fine art education. After moving to the United States he has further developed his painting style and taken his creative adventure in a new direction incorporating inks and glue, taking his existing style further. While trying to encompass the viewer in his recent works he attempts to maintain an individual almost spiritual experience throughout.
