My military career started at 16 when I joined the Royal Parachute regiment. At 21 I attempted SAS selection and went through the hardest thing I had ever done, before being discharged due to bad eye sight. This was not the end but the beginning of an incredible adventure. I left the UK and started my journey to find a new home and settled on New Zealand. It was here that my love of endurance sports was awakened and for the next 18 years I continued to push myself physically and mentally with mountain and road marathons, adventure racing and Iron Man triathlons. I still find solace on my mountain bike finding new places to explore both physically and mentally.
Because of the physical nature of pursuing my disciplines and my pursuit of levelling up at every opportunity I understood the importance of stretching. After doing my first yoga class back in 2000 I realised this was the edge I needed. I completed my yoga teacher training and was exposed to some of the worlds most influential teachers. Learning from these teachers awakened me to exploring not just my body but also my mind.
