Train your body
“To keep the body in good health is a duty, otherwise we will not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.”
— Buddha
Train your body
The body determines how good we feel, both on a psychical and mental level. Chemicals like dopamine and serotonin impact how well we perform and can be influenced by the foods we eat and the type of movement we undertake. Knowing ways to treat our bodies and understanding our power is vital.
In fact, many don’t realise this, but training your body is equally important to cultivating your mindset. Optimising your nutrition and exercise to boost your productivity can make a significant difference, because the body plays a far bigger role in our performance than we give it credit for.
I’m interested in helping people create a healthier mindset and body to eliminate or reduce the symptoms of physical and mental ailments. To strengthen your body’s full potential, I use a combination of different approaches, which may include:
• Education on nutrition and how certain foods can improve stress levels
• Personalised advice on physical exercise that will up your game
• Prescribed yoga exercises to release and ease specific ailments
• How to reduce stress and improve energy through exercise
• Ways to boost clarity of mind through movement
Nutrition is key
The food we eat can cause health and mood issues. If we don’t have the right minerals and nutrients we can feel depressed or stressed. Equally, the way we think can impact how we are feeling. Plus, it’s important to consider our physicality, too: eating well gives us a clearer mind, which helps to develop a mindful practice to find absolute clarity. Hence why nutrition is a key ingredient to fine tuning your thoughts and attitude.
“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
— Hippocrates
Yoga prescriptions, Yoga as therapy
Yoga has become an increasingly popular form of stress management for overworked executives. Yoga can change your life. This is by no means an over-claim. As a certified yoga instructor, I’ve worked with corporate clients for many years now. Yoga strengthens the body and transforms the mind, too, and has even been shown to change the brain and physiology. It is a truly transformative practice that can potentially change anything that needs changing within the body and the mind
I’ve been handing out yoga prescriptions to my clients for many years – prescriptions that work! I can recommend a yoga programme or even certain yoga poses to help with specific ailments, conditions and emotions. Not only does it help with posture and mobility in a sedentary corporate world but it’s been known to build muscle and increase flexibility, too.
Plus, studies have shown that yoga improves deadlift performance by strengthening the lower back and hamstrings, and increasing shoulder flexibility. In weight lifting some muscles are neglected but in yoga the muscles work in cooperation and harmony and it also increases flexibility, stamina and stability.
Personal training and group fitness
As a certified personal trainer I specialise in elite performance, weight training, endurance training and weight loss. In group fitness I love teaching indoor cycling, bootcamp circuits, BODYPUMP and core strength – I’m here to design a training programme to suit your needs and a schedule that will support your mindset and overall coaching goals. The fitness and exercise recommendations can be offered separately or as part of our bespoke coaching programmes to those who would like to place a bigger emphasis on this aspect of their training.
