So I was back at the GARUDA apparatus studio on Monday for the first time in 18 months …. Man… what a buzz To be brutally honest, I was actually NERVOUS How would I get on? Would I have the mobility for the repertoire? Will I be able to handle the strength work? Will people [...]
I’m pretty EXCITED… Over the past few weeks I have HEADED BACK to parkrun for the FIRST TIME in 18 MONTHS See this “Covid 19” thing has prevented me from RETURNING EARLIER. I have had to PUT the teaching hours to get the clients back And man, I’ve REALLY MISSED running on Saturday mornings, socialising [...]
So here it is, If you've spent the past 24 hours 'wondering' if I'll be offering any kind of discount on my famous ‘apparatus' sessions, then I'm going to tell you now, that I wont be. Harsh?

That is usually scarcity, fear, anger, guilt, blame and negativity. However if we upgrade our skill set, when something happens which is unexpected in life, [...]
Functional medicine, including Dr. Rangan Chatterjee, promotes lifestyle medicine as the foundations of health. And what’s the bottom line? We can improve our life by making better choices. For example after eating, rather than crashing out on the sofa or going to sleep, we should go for a walk. Walking after food significantly lowers the [...]
Creating lasting change is hard. The truth is anybody can establish a habit or make changes for 3, 6 or 12 months but continuing them long term can be a struggle. Creating change depends on our behaviour, it’s not what we say it’s what we do. Talk is cheap, things only occur when we take [...]
Any movement to the body will either help of hinder us. This will depend on the condition of the tissue, the health of the person plus the environment (in other words the allostatic load).
