ABOUT | WIY YOGA

— THE LONG WAY HERE

Four disciplines,
one nervous system

Not a highlight reel — a chronology.

Each one taught the next what it was missing.

From age 7 – 16, Now Coaching

Gymnastics

Where I learned that discipline isn't punishment — it's just paying attention, repeatedly, to something that matters. These days I'm back in the gym coaching five to seven sessions a week.

Since Secondary School

Running

I was a sprinter at school. Somewhere along the way the distances got longer — and I learned the mind will say almost anything to get you to stop at kilometre eight.

From age 17 – 31, Now Coaching

Touch Rugby

Where I learned to read a room fast, back a decision, and let it go the second it's made. These days I coach it three days a week, across several teams of kids.

Since 2013

Yoga

Where everything else finally made sense. Not a new practice — the same one, slower, and on purpose.

— WHAT I'M ACTUALLY TEACHING

Underneath the sun salutations,
it's always the same three things

01 – Move

Movement

The body first — not as punishment or aesthetic, but as the most honest feedback system you own. Move it well and often, and it tells you the truth about how you're actually doing.

02 – Notice

Mindfulness

Attention as a trainable skill. Not clearing your mind — noticing it, the way you'd notice a teammate drifting offside, and choosing what to do next.

03 – Regulate

Self-Regulation

The whole point. Learning to meet a hard feeling the way you'd meet a hard set — without abandoning ship or white-knuckling through it. This is where it pays off: in your worst days, not just your best poses.
