I spent most of my adult life in fight or flight mode
I found freedom, you can too...
I spent 25 years as a police officer in London and Essex. Years of working shifts on the frontline, wearing heavy kit and dealing with highly stressful and traumatic incidents took a toll on my body. I was permanently stressed and sleep deprived, eating junk just to get me through the day.
Living in that fight or flight mode caused my nervous system to create an invisible armour to 'protect me' from any perceived threats. The result? A tight and tense body, constant pain and the inability to ever relax and just chill out.
Over the years it got worse and worse, and when I reached a strategic rank, I was frazzled to the core.
I hoped there would be a light at the end of the tunnel, but there never was....
The result was my body and my brain finally reaching the point of no return and I hit burnout. I took far too long to do something about it.
Don't leave it too late like I did 😰

It was only once I was on the other side...
...that I finally realised where I had gone wrong all those years and what I should have been doing to manage my stress.
My Values
I often say in class, how you are on the mat is a reflection of how you are in real life. Over the years in my own practice, I've witnessed this in action. It's an illuminating and helpful journey to experience. That’s why these values matter as they guide how I show up, both on the mat and in the everyday.
Integrity - Satya
Being honest. Remaining true to my beliefs and principles.
Freedom - Vairagya
Following my own path, free from the weight of expectation.
Kindness - Ahimsa
Treating all beings with compassion, including myself.
