"My philosophy is that anyone who can breathe can do yoga. You don’t have to be super bendy or even very fit to start feeling the benefits of yoga practice. I get a huge amount of satisfaction out of seeing people discover those benefits. “

After travelling the world, and studying with yoga masters in India and China for years, it was in my hometown of Sydney that I found what I'd been looking for: a more medical and scientific approach to yoga. The synthesis of the ancient traditions with contemporary thinking and research-based science continues to inspire his approach to yoga – Yoga Synergy.

I have worked with the Indian National Cricket Team as their official Yoga Coach in a bid to improve the team’s fitness and mental focus. That same team went on to win the Cricket World Cup in March with Gary Kirsten at the helm. I like to think that the yoga had something to do with it.

I have also India with the Delhi Daredevils IPL team and in the Champions League.
