I have trained with Hollywood Stars, Professional Athletes and World Leading Entrepreneurs. At sixteen I won my first individual national competition and became the youngest (and shortest) athlete to be accepted into Sweden’s Olympic rowing team. At 18 I competed for Sweden at the Sydney 2000 Olympics.

Subsequently, I suffered a tragic career ending injury, which formed the foundation to my new passion in life: helping others to achieve their dreams through fitness and a healthy living. With a lifetime of knowledge in nutrition coupled with my experiences gained from training under an Olympic coach and extensive studying, I can offer an excellent service.

Session description:

Our new training method includes various training methods such as, Olympic lifting, Kettlebells, Boxing, Animal flow, Tabata, Yoga, HIIT intervals, Mobility and Flexibility. The way the workouts and classes are structured will get you fitter and stronger faster, no more wasting time training for long duration without results. Training with me is always fun, innovative and effective, no sessions resembles the other.

I am a senior level (500hr International Yoga Alliance accredited) yoga teacher, and regular practitioner since 2000. My classes are based on classical Hatha Yoga, Dynamic Flow and Restorative yoga practice and philosophy. Meditation and breathing techniques are included in each session.

Inspiration is drawn from eastern sources as well as modern psychological thought. I have experienced the strong discipline of eastern yoga teacher training, been inspired by great practitioners teaching here in the West, and worked my way through a series of foundation, intermediate and advance teaching courses.

Alexander Filmer-Lorch, guides and facilitates both teachers and students at an international level. His work is a synthesis of 30 years of experience in movement, yogic disciplines & meditation, applied philosophy & eastern psychology, bringing the body, mind and spirit to a natural state of meditative synthesis.

He has established an international reputation for innovation in developing yoga, meditation and movement-based teaching inspired by the latest scientific research on the body and self-development, meeting the requirements of our times.

Alexander began his career at age 17 as a state-approved professional dancer at the John Cranko Ballet Academy in Stuttgart, from where he went on to dance with the German Opera House in Düsseldorf and Düsburg. He reached a turning point in his life after a back injury, when his quest to understand the moving body took him on extensive travels to India and Europe to study yoga, Eastern psychology and philosophy and the Fourth Way teachings.

The teachings of yogic disciplines and meditation were brought to him in the traditional one-to-one practice of teacher and student, throughout more than a decade of his life.

Today Alexander works as a qualified Senior Yoga/Meditation/Movement Teacher, an advanced CranioSacral Therapy and SomatoEmotional Release® practitioner, as well as a lecturer in Eastern philosophy and psychology.

Kirsten Nielsen

daltonb — Mon, 15 Aug 2016 03:47:33 +0000

My full name is Kirsten Damgaard-Nielsen, with a name like that how could people not know I’m foreign? Originally, I was born in Holland, my mother is Dutch and my father is Danish.

I have always kept my body active from a young age, I was a keen dancer, dipping into all forms from ballet to street. This led to a burning desire to educate myself in fitness, and initiated my wish to become a Personal Trainer and a Yoga teacher.

I love love love everything healthy, green and organic. I get enjoyment knowing this is good for me and I am treating my body as a heavenly temple. Let me teach you how to treat yours as one.

Session description:

No two women are exactly the same. Similar to a diet plan, a training method that delivers results to one person may do nothing for another. We are all unique. There are so many different types of women with distinctive preferences, schedules and lifestyles.

It is vital that I make sure as your trainer that your training program is cultivated for you and only you.

Although we all respond individually to training, the tools we use are universal. A favourite tool of mine is weights. However, many women are hesitant to embrace these in the fear of looking like Arnold Schwarzenegger’s twin sister. THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN. As your trainer I am here to guide you and teach you that women who lift have the most lean feminine curves of them all. Not only does muscle strengthen and sculpt but it also burns body fat like crazy. Muscle and metabolism go hand in hand, the more muscle you have, the more fat your body will naturally burn.

Qualifications:

Level 3 Personal Trainer
Ashtanga Vinyasa Certified Yoga Teacher
Meditation teacher IVHHD Certified
Holistic Counselor IVHHD Certified
Future Fit Nutrition Advisor
Hatton ABC Advanced Boxing Instructor
Complete Kettlebell Trainer
Diploma in Core Training
Chair Yoga Instructor IVHHD Certified
First Aider

Years experience:

2 years
