Is this for you?

This is for you if...

You want confidence in your body again.

To feel strong and steady, and finally understand what your body has been trying to tell you.

You know you're capable of more.

There's another gear in you. You just don't know which door to walk through first.

You're running on empty.

Tired in a way sleep doesn't fix, and you can't quite put your finger on why.

You're ready to do the work.

You're not afraid of it. You just need someone to point you in the right direction.

Not sure which part of Lone Wolf Vision is for you?Three questions, thirty seconds. It'll show you where to start.

The philosophy

Everything here has a deeper meaning.

Life is a question of balance: knowing what you need more of, and what you need less of. Every class, every teacher and every service here works from the same philosophy, the five elements with the Lone Wolf at the centre. Tap one to see where it lives.

Balance · Instinct · Knowing what you need

The Lone Wolf

The lone wolf is not alone. It knows what it needs. All five elements in balance, and the freedom to choose what you need today.

Tap an element around the wolf to see what it brings, and where you'll find it.

Foundation · Stability · Strength

Earth

Grounded, stable, building from the foundations up.

Flow state · Adaptability · Release

Water

Flowing, releasing, working with patience rather than force.

Willpower · Courage · Self-discipline · Motivation

Fire

The willpower and courage to show up, and the self-discipline to keep going.

Presence · Clarity · Breath

Air

Light, clear, focused on awareness and ease.

Expansion · Potential · Beyond limits

Space

Opening up to your own potential. Fully connected to the world you live in, and expanding past your limits.

Sun breaking through the old trees in the Ushaw grounds
We have always roamed here

The wolf has been here longer than we have.

Ushaw comes from the Old Norse for wolves' wood. Over a thousand years before we arrived, this place already carried the name. The woods around the house, the stone walls, the silence between the trees, all of it named for something wild, solitary and free.

We didn't know that when we moved here. Some things find you, I suppose.
The people

You don't need to figure it out. We'll guide you.

Stephen Jack, founder of Lone Wolf Vision
Founder

Stephen Jack

Lone Wolf Vision started with a £500 loan that had to work. Before that, Stephen's life took him into the Army, where he came top through every stage of physical training, earned his place in the Royal Army Physical Training Corps, and went on to work with injured soldiers as a rehabilitation instructor.

Then everything fell apart, and he had to rediscover who he was. Travelling alone through Nepal, India, Kenya and Indonesia, he worked out what he needed as an individual and learned to walk his own path, as someone unique, like every one of us. That is where the five elements come from, and why they run through everything here.

You have given me my life back. I have spent twenty years in limbo where I felt my life was just going through the motions. Every day I wake up with a purpose.

I really want to say that I value and appreciate your classes and your knowledge and experience. I love the way you take us through things, the pace, the variation and progression.

DebJulie's yoga classes
★★★★★

It isn't a place for the super fit, bendy people only. People of all ages, ability, male and female attend the classes.

I began with a biomechanical assessment and the results informed a bespoke training plan. Stephen was always responsive, and he genuinely took seriously the context in which I was training.

CassieTRACK assessment and training plan
★★★★★

The Restorative yoga class is inclusive, purposeful, fun and challenging. The ethos in class is always positive, non-judgemental, and everyone is encouraged to work at their own level rather than comparing themselves with others.

I walked into Stephen's class a bit nervous but immediately felt welcome. I still practice daily 5 years on.
