With a 12 year Army career and many years of experience in studying and practicing meditation, Zen, Yoga and peak performance practices, Stefan is cut from a truly unique cloth. After experiencing the life changing impact of habitual, performance optimising practices as an Australian Army Intelligence Specialist on operations, Stefan transitioned into a training role for the ADF to help empower soldiers to be their best. In 2022 he founded Shoshinry after pioneering an Army mindset training program, helping integrate Yoga into combat units and leading a Soldier Performance Cell. Shoshinry now brings this unique, effective training to leaders, athletes, veterans and coaches looking to master balance, focus and elevate their intrinsic vibrancy through inner change and lifestyle change.
Stefan has a background in a broad range of disciplines and combines both east and west, mind and heart orientated training. His approach focuses on systematically helping individuals and teams to develop themselves long-term, through evidence-based mindset tools and holistic habit change. He believes peak performance can't be separated from wellbeing, relationships, health, lifestyle and workplace culture.
