Greg Cawley
Chartered Accountant, 600hr Yoga Teacher
QLD, AUSTRALIAGreg Cawley is the owner of BrikMan Yoga in Toowoomba, Australia.
By his own description, Greg Cawley is a pretty normal bloke – and an unlikely yoga teacher. Born and raised in New Zealand in the 1960s, Greg started his professional life as an audit accountant working in large corporations in the UK and Australasia. After settling into married life, he bought three construction-based manufacturing companies and grew them with great success over the next 23 years. However, when the Global Financial Crisis struck, Greg was soon faced with the near failure of his businesses, the failure of his marriage, and the depression and devastation that followed.
Not willing to be stuck in the wasteland of this 'mid-life crisis', at age 55, Greg quit his career in business, moved to Australia, and took the unusual step of training to become a yoga teacher... with a difference. Suffering from sporting injuries, physical restrictions, and a lack of flexibility (like most men his age), Greg realised that he could be a great example to other men that yoga really was for them. BrikMan Yoga was born – yoga for men who have all the flexibility of a brick! The slogan says it all: 'No Sheilas. No Lycra. Just Blokes.'
Greg Cawley is on a mission to demystify yoga for men, based on his own personal experiences of the amazing benefits – both physical and mental – showing them that they can learn to bend so they don't break. Greg wants to inspire men of all ages to develop an attitude of selfcare, for the collective benefit of all the sons and daughters who need gentle but powerful warriors in their lives.
