Kirtan London with Šárka Elias at The Study Society

Stephen Swords

After the impact of too much sport, too many injuries and illness when young I was somewhat broken by my mid 20’s, with just tablets and not much else from health providers in UK, I took responsibility for my health upon myself, I got back to a place of equilibrium using natural methods. I decided on the path of Holistic Wellbeing as my direction.

First studying with Quantum Metta in London for Holistic, Sports & Remedial and Thai Yoga Massage, I then nipped to Thailand to study some advanced practices in the Old Medicine Hospital Chaing Mai & Hang Dong. For the next 7 years I was studying, practicing and living between UK & India, mainly Kerala & Tamil Nadu, where I was under the supervision of various yoga teachers & Ayurvedic Dr’s, primarily Dr. Chandra Kumar Balachandaran, Rameshji and India’s Cosmic Wisdom.

In 2018 I was a graduate of Natural Wisdom Leaders, with Ayni Foundation, this was a 1-year Intensive Initiation Program involving Traditional Natural Wisdom from Europe & Peru, culminating in a trip to the Peruvian Amazon. This continued for another 2 years at a less intensive pace. I continue to see 1-1 clients and run workshops and retreats in UK & India, whilst striving to live a life of balance in the Natural World.

Thai Yoga Massage

  • Thai Yoga Massage (TYM) is an all-encompassing treatment whether for relaxing or therapeutic.
  • Working on a system of energy lines present in and on the body, Thai yoga massage is a mixture of passive and active stretches, acupressure and breathing.
  • It is a combination of massage, yoga, osteopathy, chiropractic, reflexology, acupressure, passive exercise and meditation. It is both a complex theoretical science and an informal art form.

Ayurveda

  • Ayurveda is the Indian Science of Life, incorporating Nature, herbs, plants, the Elements and our own internal abilities to heal ourselves and maintain optimum health
  • It is based on prevention of illness or disease and works hand in hand with Hatha Yoga
  • Ayurveda views each person’s health individually as opposed to a one-size-fits-all approach, it also uses the basis that our thoughts, words, actions as well as diet and exercise contribute to our overall health and wellbeing

Remedial & Holistic Massage

  • Massage that is oil based and incorporates many different techniques all of which aim to bring homeostasis to the body, primarily, the muscular & skeletal systems (muscular, joint, tendon/ligament injuries)
  • It can be applied holistically (whole body) or to a specific problem area or specific injury
  • It involves deep tissue techniques, specific sports and dynamic stretching and rehabilitation. It stimulates blood supply by lengthening, toning, strengthening the muscle or affected area

Mindfulness

  • Mindfulness is a simple concept of focusing on the present moment
  • When we can teach ourselves to appreciate what is going on around us, we find that we become happier, calmer and richer in our lives
  • Practicing Mindfulness allows us to experience everyday acts like preparing food or brushing our teeth or washing dishes as conscious rituals we can perform with joy and happiness
