Christopher Gladwell

Christopher began young, as a junior ecologist, nature lover, wild runner and martial artist. Studying Taoist arts, Shiatsu and then Ayurveda before Yoga finally found him, after he suffered a back injury from an accident. Injuries from accidents continued to teach Christopher to heal himself with breath and movement. A microlight plane crash, a road accident at 75mph (someone drove into the back of him). Now the learning continues as Christopher in his early sixties works with the ageing process, as gracefully as possible. For four decades he has been studying and practising on a daily basis the arts of conscious breathwork, meditation and embodiment practices such as yoga, and dance. He is also a therapist having studied a fair few psychotherapeutic modalities, including more recently systemic constellation work. Christopher has been initiated into practices and lineages from Vedic, Tibetan, African and Native American worlds. He has written somewhere around fourteen books, the best sellers being Engaged Yoga - weaving yoga into daily life, Protecting Planet Earth and Micropractices. The founder of Embody Evolution, Christopher walks his talk.
