Episode 32: Swiss 8 Mini Series: Tristan Rose of Blind Tiger Yoga

This episode is not for the faint of heart.

Tristan and I served in the Australian Army together for many years, and we have a long history...some of which includes some of his darkest days, where he was at the point of no return.

In this episode, we round out the Swiss 8 Mini Series, as well as the protocols and principles that he has implemented along the way, to dig himself out of the deep dark hole that is anxiety, depression and PTSD.

Tristan is the founder of Blind Tiger Yoga, and has taught his no bullshit style of yin based yoga, mindfulness and meditation to over 10,000 veterans and first-responders, as an alternate therapy for anxiety, depression and PTSD, not just as an intervention, but as a preventative measure to manage the mind...myself included.

In fact, Tristan is the mastermind behind the Australian government providing a partial grant to educate and certify a dozen Australian Army Veterans in his style of yoga, to be taught to each individuals network. This initiative was provided to aid in addressing the mental health implications that war-fighting soldiers face when discharging from the Military, and trying to re-integrate back into a civilian population that, for the most part, does not uphold the same standards and professionalism that these soldiers are used to...which usually makes for a difficult transition.

He is a pioneer in his field, and coaches from not only a scientific standpoint, but through lived experience.

Swiss 8 is a proactive mental health model designed to provide the tools required to deliver high-quality content around their 8 pillars of health and wellness, to allow you to be "Better At Life."

"I shouldn’t be in the position I am right now."

The odds were stacked against me:

● Poor family on welfare, eldest of 6 kids, parents didn’t work, abusive step-dad, no electricity or running water for a 6 years period of my life

● Caught up with the wrong crowd, stealing, drugs, skipping school

● At 14 years old, I sat on a bus for 3 days with $50 in my pocket, to travel to the next State over West, to begin a new life in the workforce - 2000

14 - 20: I grew up and learned how to become a man through work and rugby
20 - 26: I lived, trained and fought as a professional soldier, at a high level
26 - 32: I became a personal trainer, after failing in my pursuit to become a firefighter
32 - 38: I worked with, and won world titles with some of the best athletes on the planet, as their strength and conditioning coach
38+: The next evolution begins
