A native of Botswana and now London-based, Doug Robson (@thedownwarddoug) qualified as a stuntman 7 years ago after training extensively in martial arts, gymnastics and platform diving.

Since then he has doubled high-profile actors such as Channing Tatum, Colin Firth and Luke Evans and built an extensive list of credits, including award-winning productions Mission Impossible, The Avengers, Star Wars and Game of Thrones, among others.

Doug first took up yoga as a form of therapy after suffering a back injury. He has since developed a dedicated practice and in 2017 trained as a yoga instructor and began teaching. Mixing martial arts and yoga he has come up with a yoga flow that is as unique as his background.

WE TALK ABOUT

Life as a stunt man /// Being Bear Grylls’ nannie /// Developing respect for your body /// Competing in the yoga studio /// Teaching from your truth and experience /// Finding the balance between confidence and knowledge as a teacher /// Building charisma /// The importance of getting things wrong /// Starting small and keep taking the next best step /// Teaching a ‘bad’ class

Kevin Boyle (@KevinBoyleYoga) is a Dublin based yoga teacher. He leads the teacher training at YogaHub and is the creator and host of The Yoga Life Podcast.

Having spent most of his 20s partying, it took a family intervention for Kevin to realise that his health was deteriorating. He found yoga at age 30, started his 200-hour at 34, was made redundant from his office job at 35 and hasn't looked back since.

WE TALK ABOUT

The power of napping /// Productive early mornings /// Self-discipline /// The journey from a party boy to a yoga teacher /// Having resilience and persistence, and doing what it takes /// The powerful combination of natural charisma and hard work /// The challenge of spending a lot of time alone as a yoga teacher /// Assuming that you’ll get a teaching job straight after a 200hr training /// The balance between work and rest
