Some days stayin the shouldersfor years.

An hour of breath, movement and stillness with Ishtiaque, and one practice to take home.

Your jawis still havingthe argument.

You can understand exactly what happened and still feel it in your body.

You sleep badly. Anger comes faster than it used to. Grief settles in the chest and stays there. Knowing why doesn’t make it stop.

Bend works at that level, through breath, movement, attention and stillness.

What people carried home.

“I came in with a lot of anxiety and no real sense of what I needed. The session gave me tools I could actually use. It felt practical and grounded.”

Seventeen yearsof returning.

For more than seventeen years, I have trained in Kyokushin. For more than thirteen, I have practised Kriya Yoga and meditation.

I have relied on those practices through difficult periods of my own life.

Bend grew from that experience.

I teach what has proved useful, and help people develop a practice they can use on their own.
