About

Kester Hynds

I've trained in yoga, martial arts, circus, dance, calisthenics, climbing, mountain biking. Spending time across different disciplines made something clear: the body doesn't recognise those separations. I stopped making them.

Wild and Physical brings it all together — strength, mobility, breath, attention, coordination. One practice, not a collection of methods.

I started practising Vipassana meditation in 2015 and have done extended retreats. That sits at the heart of how I teach — it's shaped how I understand the body, what I notice in a session, and why the inner and outer work are never really separate. I'm currently training in Psychosynthesis psychotherapy, which deepens that understanding further.

I also make music — toured, recorded, still writing. Rhythm, tension, release, structure and improvisation. The same principles show up everywhere. You don't force development. You create the conditions for it.

That's what this is: a genuine practice, built over time, that holds both the physical and the personal.
