My Journey
Gus Gata-Aura
ABOUT ME
I have over 20 years experience in Research and Development working within large blue chip pharmaceutical companies as a Freelance Global Study Lead, managing cutting edge immunotherapy clinical trials in Oncology both in the UK and Europe (Pfizer, Roche, Eisai, Takeda, Paraxel).
​
A yoga practice helped me manage stress with a deep sense of calm, perform with sustained focus and clarity, optimised my health and I believe, made me more productive.
​
It is my passion to share these tools and learning with employees to improve their quality of home and working life.
​
I qualified as a hot yoga instructor and went on to study a yoga therapy diploma, specialising in corporate stress management. I have been teaching yoga for over 5 years, am continuously learning, reading research papers and always looking to share new learnings in my classes.

I feel so calm and relaxed after a decompress session. My body feels free of tension and I sleep so well.
SM- London
"Thank you for these daily yoga classes. As a complete novice to yoga I find them incredibly beneficial. I finish my 30 mins and surprisingly (for me anyway) I'm very focused, my head has been cleared and I'm ready to take it all on."
