Welcome to Bear & Bird...
At Bear & Bird, we believe that reconnecting with ourselves and the natural world is essential for a balanced, fulfilling life. Founded by Jack, a wellness coach, personal trainer, and father, Bear & Bird is more than just a wellness practice – it’s a journey toward inner peace, resilience, and a deeper connection to both body and mind.
Jack’s path to wellness wasn’t straightforward. He began in the world of personal training, driven by a love of fitness and sport, only to discover a profound connection between physical movement and mental well-being. This realisation set him on a new course, leading him to develop a holistic approach that blends mindfulness, breathwork, and somatic movement with traditional fitness.
Bear & Bird grew out of Jack’s desire to help others reconnect with their own minds and bodies in a world that often pulls us away from both. His signature practice, Chakana Flow, combines breathwork, somatic movement, and calisthenics, cultivating resilience, flexibility, and a presence that goes beyond the physical. Each session is crafted to invite intention, awareness, and a sense of groundedness, reflecting Bear & Bird’s core mission: to guide people back to themselves...
Creating space for you...
At the heart of Bear & Bird is Jack’s commitment to creating spaces where everyone feels welcome, whether they’re exploring mindfulness for the first time or deepening an existing practice. His wellness sessions blend movement, meditation, and breathwork in a way that’s approachable yet transformative, inviting participants to experience growth from within.
Jack’s personal journey – one marked by resilience, a connection to nature, and a commitment to spiritual exploration – informs every aspect of Bear & Bird. His deep empathy and desire to uplift others are evident in his approach to both individual and group sessions. Whether you join Bear & Bird for a guided meditation, a mindful movement class, or an immersive workshop, you’ll experience Jack’s unique blend of energy, presence, and genuine care.
At Bear & Bird, we’re not just offering wellness practices; we’re inviting you to join a community rooted in the belief that we’re all part of something greater. Together, we can reconnect with the beauty of the natural world, nurture our mental and physical well-being, and rediscover the joy that comes from simply being present.
