Shane has a deep love and passion for martial arts which he started many years ago as a teenager. He is currently a senior instructor holding a 6th degree Black Belt. Shane began instructing in the Porirua region and has now been teaching kids, teenagers and adults for over 40yrs. During these years he has also spent time organising and running successful Karate competitions, kids Karate camps and teaching seminars and

workshops to many. 

​

Naturally being drawn to spirituality through many years of martial arts, Shane finds great pleasure in being able to teach and share his knowledge on the importance of finding a healthy balance in mind, body and spirit. He believes spending time in the outdoors plays a vital role in this. Shane has a very calming gentle approach which people naturally feel drawn to, and his patient caring nature makes him a valued teacher to many kids, teenagers and adults. 

​

Shane’s other love and passion is Trail running. He loves exploring the many wonderful trails New Zealand has to offer and has run in numerous half and full marathons, many triathlons, cycle races, fun runs, xterra’s and ocean swims, 6 half Ironman’s, 2 full Ironman’s and a handful of marathons. Always looking for a new challenge and goal he set his sights on Ultra Marathons. He has now completed a handful of Ultra's around New Zealand including two 100km+ ones!

​

Shane has also completed 65hrs of Yin Yoga Teacher training with an emphasis on Traditional Chinese Medicine and how this can support and enrich the body not only in yoga but in everyday life.
