Following on from our recent intro, we thought we’d share a little more about each of us — starting with Tim.

Sport has always been a big part of life — from rugby (player, coach and lifelong fan) to endurance events like Ironmans, triathlons and swimruns… alongside more “social” pursuits like padel, paddleboarding and skiing.

Yoga came later — initially as a way to stay injury-free and recover better.

But over time, it became something much more. In 2016, Tim trained as a Vinyasa Flow yoga instructor, and that shift led to what he does today as a full-time yoga teacher and wellbeing coach.

Along the way, he’s continued to learn and develop, studying:
🧘 Yoga
🏋️ Personal Training
🌊 Open Water Swimming
🧠 The Science of Wellbeing
❄️ Contrast Therapy (cold water & sauna)

What’s become clear through all of this is that wellbeing isn’t just about being active — it’s about balance.

For Tim, that balance comes from a few key areas:

✨ Staying active
✨ Being part of a community
✨ Continuing to learn
✨ Giving back
✨ Taking time to be present

When those are in sync, everything feels better. When they’re not, it’s usually a sign something needs attention.

And that’s really what sits at the heart of My Life Tonic —
helping people understand what supports their wellbeing, and finding simple, sustainable ways to feel more energised, balanced and like themselves again.

More to come on Shannon next 💛

Sometimes the biggest shift comes from the simplest change… a different view, a breath of sea air, a break from the everyday.

Back in 2020, in between lockdowns, we took the opportunity to explore West Wales—from Cardigan and Aberporth across to St Davids and down to Oxwich on the Pembrokeshire coast.

It wasn’t about going far. It was about going somewhere.

Looking back, that time captured so much of what My Life Tonic is all about 👇

A change of scene

After months of restrictions, just getting away felt significant. Space to move, to think, to reset. It’s easy to forget now just how much those small freedoms mattered.

Keeping it simple

We stayed local—but did new things. Surfing (with mixed success), coasteering, coastal walks, and spotting dolphins out at sea.

No packed itinerary, no pressure—just taking each day as it came.

Going with the flow

Some of the best moments weren’t planned. A spontaneous wander to a quiet hilltop church. Coffee on a windswept beach. Sand surfing (badly!) down dunes on a sunny afternoon.

Proof that not every moment needs scheduling to be memorable.

Resilience & perspective

The weather didn’t always play ball—but we made the most of it anyway. Because sometimes it’s less about the conditions, and more about the mindset you bring to them.

Shared moments

From great local restaurants to simple beachside food, it was about being together, appreciating what was available, and making the most of it.

That trip was a reminder that a “tonic” doesn’t have to be far-flung or elaborate. Sometimes it’s right on your doorstep—waiting for you to notice it.

More throwbacks to come…

🌿 Thank You for Joining Us 🌿

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our latest Wellbeing Reset Session this weekend.

As always, what makes these days so special isn’t just the yoga, cold water and sauna sessions — it’s the people who come along. It was wonderful to welcome new faces joining us for the first time, alongside those who have returned to previous sessions. Seeing friendships form, conversations flow, and people support one another is one of our favourite parts of the day.

Thank you for embracing the experience so enthusiastically and being open to trying something that may have felt a little outside your comfort zone.

From flowing through yoga, to taking those first few breaths in the cold water, to relaxing and chatting in the warmth of the sauna, it was fantastic to see everyone fully engage with the day and with each other.

While the weather had other plans and we weren’t able to practice on the deck this time, we still had a wonderful day together. Here’s hoping for some sunshine and outdoor yoga at future sessions 🤞☀️

One of the things we love most about these reset days is seeing people take a few hours out of busy lives to focus on themselves, reconnect with friends, meet new people, and leave feeling calmer, energised and refreshed.

A Few Highlights From April & May 📸

We try to keep life varied, and the last couple of months have certainly delivered...

☀️ Yoga on the deck – finally, some sunshine!

🚴 Back on the bike – enjoying the lighter evenings and finding another excuse for a coffee stop.

🔥 A London night away – including and .

✈️ Lisbon – celebrating a friend’s 50th and catching up with university mates.

🌿 Wellbeing Reset weekends – helping people take some time out and reset. (We’re back on 6th & 7th June.)

🎾 Padel – still playing (but not improving)

🎻 Live folk music at listening to Counter’s Creek– a brilliant evening in an intimate setting.

🚇 Half term adventures with Max exploring London’s disused Underground stations (followed by some shopping, of course!).

💃 A Bristol day rave – dancing, laughter and good company.

⚽ And for Tim, seeing Crystal Palace win the European Conference League wasn’t a bad way to round things off!

Looking back, it’s a pretty random mix of activities, but that’s exactly the point.

Travel, music, movement, friendship, family time, learning new things and saying yes to new experiences.

What have been your highlights from April and May?

At My Life Tonic, we’ve seen first-hand how powerful cold water can be for both physical and mental wellbeing — especially when combined with sauna and movement.

Cold water immersion may help:
💧 boost mood and energy
💧 support recovery and reduce aches
💧 improve focus and mental clarity
💧 help build resilience to stress
💧 leave you feeling refreshed and re-energised

But whilst the cold often gets all the attention, combining it with sauna (also known as contrast therapy) and yoga can make the experience even more beneficial.

The warmth of the sauna helps the body relax and recover, whilst yoga helps release tension, improve mobility, and gently reconnect mind and body.

And no… you don’t have to take it too seriously 😂- as Tim demonstrates in this video…

At My Life Tonic, our sessions are relaxed, welcoming and supportive — whether you’re completely new to cold water or already love the feeling.

We run:
🧘 Weekly 1-hour classes combining yoga, sauna & cold water
🌿 Longer 3-hour Wellbeing Reset workshops at our Cookham studio

Our next workshops take place:
📅 Saturday 6th June
📅 Sunday 7th June

Morning & afternoon sessions available

https://www.mylifetonic.com/3-hour-wellbeing-reset-days

The workshops have been really popular and some sessions are already filling up, though you’re very welcome to join the waiting list too.

If you’ve been curious about trying contrast therapy in a calm, friendly environment, we’d love to welcome you.

Any questions do get in touch...

Sometimes life just clicks… and you get that feeling you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.

Back in 2006, fresh from getting married, we set off on a belated (and slightly extended!) honeymoon to New Zealand. At the heart of it was one big goal… crossing the finish line at Ironman Taupo.

Looking back, that trip captured so much of what still shapes My Life Tonic today 👇

Being active

Training and racing an Ironman will do that… but it was more than that. Long bike rides exploring new landscapes, coastal runs, and unforgettable adventures—like floating down rapids in the South Island—reminded us how powerful movement and nature can be.

Friendship & community

A huge reason for heading to NZ was to share the experience with our great friends Jason and Kerryn. We didn’t race side by side—but going through it together, and being part of their world (and their wedding!) made it incredibly special.

Adventure
From the North Island to the South, this wasn’t just a race—it was a journey. A honeymoon, a celebration, and an unforgettable road trip all rolled into one.

Generosity

What stood out most was the warmth of the people. The openness, the pride, the welcome—we’ve carried that with us ever since and try to pass it on wherever we can.

Nearly 20 years on, those same themes—movement, connection, adventure, and giving back—are still at the heart of everything we do.

We haven’t made it back to New Zealand yet… but plans are quietly forming 👀 (this time with our teenage son—and maybe a rugby twist 🏉).

Throwbacks aren’t about living in the past—they’re about recognising the moments that shaped you.

More to come…

26/05/2026

If you’re new here — or have been following us for a while — we thought it was a good moment to share a little more about what sits behind My Life Tonic.

For us, wellbeing is something we all talk about… but don’t always fully understand.

When life feels good, our wellbeing feels good. But when things feel off, it’s not always clear why — or where to start to get back on track.

And that’s often when we realise… we may have been taking it for granted.

🌿 Our Approach

At its core, My Life Tonic is about helping you understand what supports your wellbeing — and then offering simple, practical ways to maintain and improve it over time.

We draw on a mix of ideas and frameworks, including:
✨ The importance of habits
✨ The 5 Pillars of Wellbeing
✨ The Science of Wellbeing
But more importantly, we believe there’s no one-size-fits-all approach.

🌿 Taking Action

Wellbeing looks different for everyone — and it can change over time.
Our role isn’t to tell you what to do, but to offer options and experiences that you can explore, at your own pace:
🧘 Yoga, meditation & breathwork
❄️ Cold water & sauna
🧠 Mindfulness practices (journaling, gratitude)
✨ Trying something new — being open, saying yes
🌿 How We Support You

Through My Life Tonic, we offer a range of ways to support your ongoing wellbeing:
Weekly classes (studio in Cookham & online)
On-demand library (yoga, HIIT, breathwork & more)
Wellbeing Reset sessions
The Wellbeing Scorecard (a simple starting point to check in)
1:1 sessions (online or in person)
You’ll also see glimpses of our travels and experiences — shared in the hope they inspire you to explore what works for you.

Ultimately, My Life Tonic is about helping you feel more balanced, energised and connected — in a way that fits your life.

And sometimes, it’s just as important for us to pause and remind ourselves why we do what we do 💛

22/05/2026

There’s something incredibly powerful about combining movement, heat, breath, and recovery.

That’s one of the reasons our Wellbeing Reset sessions are built around yoga, sauna, and optional cold water immersion — helping both body and mind properly slow down and reset.

So why does combining yoga and sauna work so well together?
🧘 helping release physical tension
🔥 supporting relaxation and recovery
💭 calming a busy mind
😴 improving sleep and switching off

And whilst the sauna often gets the attention, we shouldn’t forget the benefits of cold water too — from boosting mood and energy to helping build resilience and mental clarity.

Our June Reset sessions are designed for people who are:
• feeling mentally overloaded
• struggling to fully relax
• spending too much time “on”
• or simply needing some proper time out

Each 3-hour session includes:
✔️ Two yoga sessions
✔️ Sauna
✔️ Optional cold water
✔️ Healthy snacks
✔️ Small supportive groups (max 8 people)

📅 Saturday 6th June 10am & 2pm spaces available
📅 Sunday 7th June Both sessions are now fully booked (you’re very welcome to join the waiting list)

£60 per person.

If it feels like something your mind and body would benefit from right now, we’d love to welcome you.

Sometimes the moments that have the biggest impact on our wellbeing are the ones we barely notice.

* A smile from a stranger.
* A quick chat with a neighbour.
* Saying thank you.
* Checking in on a friend.
* A friendly conversation while grabbing a coffee.

These everyday interactions may seem small, but they can make us feel more connected, valued, supported, and less alone.

At My Life Tonic, connection forms an important part of our Wellbeing Scorecard within the Community Connection category. We often think improving wellbeing requires major life changes, but in reality, small daily moments can have a powerful effect on our mental and emotional wellbeing.

Positive interactions help boost mood, reduce stress, increase feelings of belonging, and remind us that we are part of a wider community. In a world where many of us spend more time on screens and less time connecting face-to-face, these moments matter more than ever.

Sometimes a simple conversation can completely change the direction of someone’s day — including our own.

Everyday interactions also encourage us to slow down and become more present. They create opportunities for kindness, empathy, and human connection in the middle of busy lives.

You never truly know what someone else may be going through, and your smile, kindness, or conversation could be exactly what they needed that day.

So today, don’t underestimate the power of the small moments:
• Say hello
• Start the conversation
• Smile more
• Be present
• Check in on others

Because sometimes the simplest interactions create the greatest impact on wellbeing.
