Hi, I'm Luke. Those closest to me know that I'm far from perfect. It's not always cream clothes on the beach! I f*ck up, and always will. I've definitely used up all my 'quarter life's' and swing from being a Buddhist monk one month to gallavanting around European hostels the next. But I'm learning, living and I'm just loving this beautiful miracle of consciousness we call life. Currently living in Cape Town, South Africa I have somewhat of a strange double-life. I've been an entrepreneur since I was 6 years old, qualified as a Chartered Accountant and currently head up growth of a US based tech startup using AI to reduce plastic waste. But between the board meetings and client calls I'm also obsessed with holistic techniques to enhance my well-being, be a better human being and discover my true authentic self. Who said you can't have one foot in each world? Join me on my journey of self-discovery as I hold space for these weird & wonderful techniques, enabling you to serve your soul, be a better whatever-you-already-are and cultivate an ecstatic zest for life.
"But I already know how to breathe."

What is Kundalini & Breathwork?
No, we don't lie in the forest and smell random leaves. Simply put, Kundalini Yoga utilises the breath, movement and meditation to regulate the nervous system, moving us from "fight or flight" mode into "rest and repair". This has a host of benefits. Doing one of my classes for just one hour a week can make your life 10x easier and leave you feeling: Rebalanced Rejuvenated Revitalised Recharged In my long form breathwork (Conscious Connected Breathwork), we are manipulating the carbon dioxide levels in our system by using the breath, which induces alternate states of consciousness. Its a common misconception that we are getting high by "breathing in too much oxygen", as our oxygen levels are already almost saturated at around 98%. The more Eastern or 'spiritual' explanation for breathwork, is that we are breathing in Shakti, Life Force, or Chi which heals the body on an energetic level. Join my classes or retreats, serve your soul and be a better whatever-you-already-are. You won't believe it until you try.

Luke visited Turtle Cove as a guest teacher, offering Breath Work Sessions and Kundalini Yoga. His classes were extraordinary and inspiring. Some of the feedback we received from our participants was: “absolutely profound”, “Life changing”, “phenomenal”. We highly recommend Luke as a facilitator to add value and depth to any establishment who offers experiences of transformation and expansion to their guests.

My Philosophy
Let's face it, life is difficult. Sevā & Soul is founded on the basic philosophy of serving your soul first. Putting in a little effort to make the rest of life 10x easier. Embracing the ebb and flow of life, not denying it. You want everything to be perfect, all the time. And even when it's perfect you worry it will change. Am I right? We're driven by fear and desire, stuck in our heads. But besides active war zones or physical pain, the present moment has very few problems. Stop reading this and look around... Nothing is actually wrong. It's all words in your head and emotions in your heart. That's not to say its easy to live in the present without stress & anxiety. Emotions are powerful. Using a selection of ancient, scientifically proven techniques, I hold a space for you to regulate your nervous system, balance your emotions, and quiet your mind so that you can become a better whatever-you-already-are. But more than this, my invitation is for you to find the magic in everyday life. What makes you burst with energy? What makes you ecstatic? What makes you feel ALIVE?
