Philip Pocock
From a young age I have been passionate about fitness and healthy living. In my youth I ran for Wales in Athletics, played football day in and day out and was inspired to train like Bruce Lee and dance like Michael Jackson. This passion lead me to working in the professional health & leisure industry for 8 years after leaving school and helped me gain valuable experience and qualifications in personal & group fitness instructing, sports coaching, group leadership and junior activities. In this time I was lucky enough to travel the world and spent time in Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, London, Los Angeles and Hawaii studying and perfecting skills in teaching health and fitness and learning from Masters in many different aspects of holistic health, fitness and wellbeing. These experiences gave me the inspiration to start to teach around my local community so I could pass on this knowledge I gained from different cultures to help others. In 2013/14 I travelled in New Zealand on a mission to spread health fitness wellbeing and dance style of Popping around the country of my birth. This trip gave me valuable experience, inspiration and deepened my knowledge of holistic natural therapies and ancient practices of the Maori culture. This then led me to India where I studied yoga practices and lived a yogic lifestyle. I trained extensively in a cave with a master in the breathing practice of Pranayama and then trained at the Swami Rama Ashrams who was one of the pioneers who brought yoga to the western world. Recently I’ve travelled to Thailand and Guatemala to study Taoist practices, metaphysic, experience darkroom mediation training, train in kinesiology and Chi Nei Tsang massage. From the many practices I’ve studied around the world I now have cultivated a number of practices to suit my personal needs and growth. My vision with AC Self Mastery is to empower people so they can find the right training system to help them reach their full potential. I feel honoured and thankful for being able to walk this path which is a journey for me of learning and cultivation to help balance mind, body and spirit into one.
