ABOUT BAD YOGI
Inspired by the shift in my physical wellness and mindfulness after practising yoga, in 2003 I completed my first of many Yoga Teacher Trainings in California.
Almost 20 years on, I spend the best part of my days working with private yoga clients from all walks of life, alongside leading the yoga program at Tattersalls Club in Hyde Park and heading up classes at BodyMindLife in Bondi as their senior instructor.
I’ve taught a myriad of clients including Charlize Theron, Elizabeth Debicki, Megan Gale and Lara Bingle which only reinforces that, no matter who you are or what you do for a living, every person walking the planet needs a healthy spine and a quiet mind.
My philosophy with yoga and the way I perceive it, is simple. When I roll out my yoga mat to practice I feel that I'm energetically taking my body to a mechanic and getting a major overhaul.
Through my yoga practise I take my body through every conceivable range of movement. I bend what needs to be bent, I twist what needs to be twisted, I balance what needs to be balanced and I promote enhanced blood flow and circulation to all areas of my body. When I roll up my yoga mat again I feel an inch taller and significantly reinvigorated. Yoga is the fountain of youth.
I consider myself to be a modern day yogi, one who loves green tea and lentils but who also loves a cheeky red, the occasional rib eye and a few profanities when required. It’s all about balance.
Like ones body, life should not be rigid.
