Strong Body. Calm Mind.

Yoga Teacher & Personal Trainer in London. Online coaching worldwide.

Strength training, yoga, meditation, and habit change for midlife men running on empty: burnt out, anxious, and stiff from years of deskwork.

This work is for you if...

  • You’re running on caffeine and willpower and the tank is empty

  • Your mind won’t switch off. You wake at 3am and can't get back to sleep

  • Years of sitting at a computer have left your body tight with aches and pains

  • You feel disconnected from your body and much older than you should

  • You want something that fits around a busy life

If any of these feel like you, then you're in the right place

Holistic Strength Coaching

Coaching for men who want to feel strong, calm and like themselves again. Built around a demanding working week, not on top of it.Here are the cornerstones of my coaching...

Yoga, Breath & Mindfulness

Yoga, breathwork and meditation to lower your baseline stress, sleep better, and get out of your head.

Strength Training

A training programme designed for a sedentary life. Build strength, muscle and energy, and become more mobile through your back, hips and core so you can move with confidence again.

Testimonials

Nigel is an excellent coach. His sessions are thoughtful, engaging, and effective. His focus on mindfulness, both in training and in daily life, gave me a new perspective on exercise and healthy habits. He genuinely cares about his clients wellbeing, and I would recommend him without hesitation.

Harriet - Senior Lawyer

I came to Nigel struggling with distracted, emotional eating where I used food to avoid difficult feelings. Through mindful eating and a tiny habits approach, I found ways to make change feel gentle and sustainable, even when my motivation was low. The celebratory elements we used have transformed how I relate to food and my emotions, and I feel like our time working together has created life-long shifts.

Oli - Intimacy Coach

I was struggling with generic habit and brain coaching advice that didn’t fit how my often overwhelmed, neurodivergent brain works. Nigel helped personalise everything in a way that finally felt doable. What stood out most was the emphasis on kindness when things didn’t go to plan, and celebrating progress rather than perfection.

About Me

Hey, I’m Nigel, personal trainer and yoga teacher. I work with people who are paying the price of modern work: burnt out, anxious, low on energy, and stiff from years behind a desk.I grew up as a young carer to a parent with severe depression, anxiety and OCD, which left me asking what actually helps people get well and thrive, physically and mentally. Since 2020 I’ve coached strength training at the Priory, a mental health and rehab hospital, working with people at some of the hardest points in their lives. I’ve also coached in gyms, studios and workplaces, and taught hundreds of yoga, breathwork and mindfulness classes across London.My own search has taken me through silent meditation retreats, the Camino de Santiago, boxing training, time living and learning with the Arhuaco people in the mountains of Colombia, and years of studying philosophy and behaviour change.I believe a lot of what we struggle with comes from disconnection. We live in our heads and on screens, cut off from our bodies, nature and each other. The answer isn’t endless self-optimisation. It’s getting back to the basics that make us human: a strong body, a settled, spacious mind, and a life that goes beyond work.I combine Eastern wisdom with Western science, through strength training, yoga, meditation and habit change, to help you get your energy, strength and headspace back without the overwhelm.

I’ve taught hundreds of classes across London as a registered yoga teacher and breathwork teacher. My classes are accessible and grounded. They’re strong enough to work your body and slow enough to quiet your mind.

Yoga for Workplaces & Events

Most offices run on stress and screens. My classes give your team a reset. The body moves, the breath slows and the mind switches off.

  • Weekly classes for London offices, or one-off sessions for wellbeing days and team events

  • Also available for festivals, community events and private groups

  • 45 or 60 minutes, designed to fit around a working day

  • I come to you: office, outdoor space or community venue

  • No experience needed, and suitable for all fitness levels

To book, email or DM me with the venue, the type of event, group size and any other details, and I’ll get back to you quickly.
