Dean Klimczak

Like many frontline health workers, Deans professional work as a GP saw the care of others, take priority over self-care. Dean found yoga as a part of sliding door moment where he made a personal commitment to a better work/life balance and reclaiming more of himself for his own health and wellbeing.

He began his yoga journey in one of Yogahub’s Beginners Immersion courses. He then began the Ashtanga yoga self-practice method as well as expanding his practice into Yin and Hatha traditions. In 2024, after making steady progress for a few years, Dean undertook Yogahub’s 300hr YTT program to deepen his personal knowledge and understanding of yoga. With many patients presenting with aches and pains of modern living, Dean was motivated to take up teaching to help people re-introduce healthy movement into their lives.

His steady commitment to yoga has been a genuine success story that anyone can follow.

Dean has a warmth and kindness about him that puts even the most reluctant new yogi at ease. Starting out in his early 50’s he understands the challenges of practising with a stiff body in a room full of bendy people. From his own experience, he knows how recognise where a person is at on their yoga journey and how to help them make progress in a manageable and sustained way.

Dean also loves running, tolerates the gym and adores his dogs Milo and Rebel.
