For the past 20 years my wife, Sharmila and I have been passionately exploring the fields health, wellbeing and human potential.
If you think about it, which is more important to you, your chronological age (the amount of candles on your birthday cake) or your biological age which is the way you look feel and perform?
Over millions of years the human body and brain have developed a system of messages that signal the body to grow or decay, to renew or age. We live at a very fortunate time in history where thanks to developments in fields like physiology, psychology, evolutionary biology, biomechanics, nutrition and ecology we understand so much more about how to trigger the body to send the right messages to support wellness, health and longevity.
Our aim at Oceans is simple, to help you turn back your biological clock and stay younger longer and enjoy the freedom to live life to the full at every age.
In 2008 we finally fulfilled a long ambition to open our own health and wellbeing centre. Having been involved in teaching fitness and martial arts to students and instructors for than 21 years this seems like a lifetime goal. Sharmila has been an instructor for 11 years and is also medical doctor with a passion to explore natural and preventative approaches to health
Having settled in Rottingdean 6 years ago with our 4 young daughters we’ve been lucky to work with a great bunch of people who have helped us establish a unique wellbeing centre.
Natural health research during the past 10—15 years has shown the human body is designed to function effectively for somewhere between 120 to 170 years and there are many cultures around the world who remain active and healthy beyond 100 years of age.
We believe that Great Britain as a culture could do so much better and we are on a mission to prove it. We don’t have any 120 year olds working out yet but the results so far working with people of ages and abilities are very exciting. But don’t take our word for it, we welcome you to have a chat with some of our members.
At Oceans we offer a comprehensive wellbeing programme this includes forms of exercise that signal the body to naturally grow and renew and can help avoid 70% of the issues associated with the normal model of ageing.
Having fallen in love with Rottingdean after moving here with our family it took 2 years to find the right venue for the centre. After numerous knock backs and set backs we finally found the ideal venue in beautiful natural setting looking right down the coast at Rottingdean. It was a slow gradual process over the following 3 years with numerous planning and development challenges. During this time though we continued to teach our classes at evenings and weekends and pioneered the teaching of the art for life that is producing excellent results.
Our main programme is taught in an exciting, supportive group format, which is very powerful and acts as another signal to the body to grow. It took another 3 years for planning and development of the centre which is spread across 3 floors of more 4000 sq’. The front door pretty much opens up onto the beach and the sea, hence the name Oceans. We have 2 nice size exercise studios where the main wellbeing programme takes place and a circuit gym overlooking the beach.
Though the location and venue is fantastic, Oceans is really about the people and we have been very fortunate to have found a great group of students and instructors who share our vision for an exciting healthy future. We all consider ourselves students, instructors included as we are constantly studying and discovering more about supporting health, fitness and wellbeing.
All guests are welcome to come in and try the centre with a free guest pass.
If you’d to find out more we’d love to hear from you and take time to show you around.
