Meet Maximus

I became a qualified yoga and meditation

teacher back in 2016.

I became a teacher after having the good luck

of stumbling into these practices

around 2014.

​

Over 10 years ago, I was lost in the depths

of suffering from severe mental health issues.

At the age of 16, I was diagnosed as being depressed.

Doctors had no idea of the true extent of my mental health, where I was in fact suffering from a rare mental disorder known as Cotard's Delusion.

​

I believed that I was already dead;

that this experience was a dream

constructed by my dying brain.

I believed my real body was dying

in a car crash.

​

As I fell deeper into my illness,

doctors wanted to section me

in mental hospitals on several occasions.

I ended up homeless, living in my car,

constantly self medicating on drugs.

​

I found meditation.

It began to help.

Deciding to become a meditation teacher

and share what I had learnt,

I found the practice of yoga.

It helped even more.

​

This path has led me to understanding

the mind and the body.

How the mind can heal the body,

and the body can heal the mind.
