Beyond the clinic

A life dedicated
to the healing arts

Truth has been living and breathing yoga since he discovered it in 2001 — always ensuring to live yoga off the mat as well as on it. Growing up with a keen Buddhist meditator father, he was inspired to undertake his first of many 10-day silent meditation retreats, which created a conscious shift in all aspects of his life.

His yoga journey began with Ashtanga in Brighton and Edinburgh, UK, before spending significant time studying Agama Tantric Yoga in Thailand, Sivananda Yoga in India, and Iyengar Yoga — eventually settling into Satyananda Yoga of the Bihar School, the world’s first Yoga University.

In 2011 he completed a 2-year, 1,500+ hour Diploma of Satyananda Yoga Teaching — diving deeply into pranayama, chanting, bandhas, meditation and philosophy. He has since developed a unique style of Yin yoga theory rooted in the Huang Di Nei Jing (Yellow Emperor’s Classic).

A personal note

“I have left behind all that I know and love to open my heart to the possibilities of life. I seek the prickly discomforts of my fears so I may let go of the limitations that have shackled me.”
