Christopher Gladwell

Christopher is an author of over fourteen books, all rooted in traditional yogic meditative depth and focusing on contemporary yogic psychology. He was a country boy and grew up in nature, he was turned onto ecology by his father and was reading university-level books on fungi, plants and wildlife at the age of eleven, whilst exploring them in the lands where he grew up. Exploring depth yogic practice for four decades and shamanic practice for two decades, he recognises the two as having the same roots in natural wisdom.

Christopher has worked in the field of personal transformation for forty years, having worked with thousands of individuals, enabling them to resolve old wounds, step up and find their place in the world and wake up to the seamless and integral flow that this life is when we both transcend and include the selfing mechanisms of our psychology.

Christopher is trained in various psychotherapeutic modalities (some to trainer level) including clinical hypnotherapy, NLP, body-based psychotherapy, mindfulness and also compassion focused therapy.

He is also trained in a range of body-based modalities including shiatsu, Thai massage and structural integration.

His breathwork training began with athletics, moved through martial arts including chi kung and tai chi and reached new depths with the Indian yogic techniques of Vedic pranayama. He has also trained in Conscious Connected breathing to trainer level with Kayana and is also a Master Instructor (one of eleven globally) with Breatheology. Conscious Breathwork has been a daily practice for him for these past forty years.

Christopher's meditation training began with Vedic meditative practices and he has explored Theravadan Buddhist techniques (from which Mindfulness arises), Taoist techniques from China, and Vajrayana Tibetan practices. He has received formal initiation into many of these schools of practices including that of Dzogchen. Meditation is woven into and through Christopher’s life.

His background in biological sciences informs his teaching and gives a physiological and neuro-scientific base to what he shares.

Christopher's early years of teaching meditation and yogic practice where with people with profound disability and people working with mental ill-health.

After this, he taught for many years in community settings often working with single mums and those in need. He even set up creches so people could learn the practices that made their lives better.

He has worked with hundreds of individuals coaching them and teaching them practices to turn stress into resilience and assist these people to understand and experience the sustainable peak performance that can arise through the application of the practices that he shares.

He has worked in the world of trauma, leading sessions for people with complex trauma to readdress, integrate, release and move through old traumatic patterns and limitations. He has also helped an NGO to set up a programme to train trainers in facilitating freedom from trauma in their client group of humans that have been subjected to trafficking and abuse.

Christopher was also the founder of a community interest company yoga studio in Bristol, the UK which he ran for over ten years.

More recently Christopher has started an online community using these breath, mind and body-based practices to achieve optimal states in their life and to more fully live from this base of empowerment.

Christopher has also worked within the corporate world to coach and enable individuals and teams to find greater effectiveness through enabling each individual to look into, reflect and reassess their own internal communicative patterns and then how we can collectively facilitate good teamwork with others from this deeper root of awareness and flow.
