Tom Davies
With over a decade of teaching experience, Tom has guided hundreds of students to achieve industry-recognised qualifications and successfully transition into the health and fitness industry. Having worked as both a lecturer in higher education and a yoga educator, Tom specialises in human anatomy, nutrition, and psychology - helping aspiring professionals understand not just the body, but also the mindset and behaviours that drive sustainable well-being.
Tom’s yoga journey began during a demanding period in his life, when chronic fatigue led him to seek balance through movement. What started as a physical practice soon evolved into a deeper exploration, incorporating Ashtanga Vinyasa, Vinyasa Flow, and Yin Yoga. Wanting to expand his understanding, he traveled to the birthplace of yoga - Rishikesh, India - where he immersed himself in ashram life and completed his initial teacher training. This experience ignited a passion for yoga philosophy, pranayama, and meditation, shaping a practice that extends far beyond the mat.
Previously, Tom worked as a trainer and assessor for a London-based yoga training provider, helping yoga teacher trainees refine their teaching skills and build confidence in their unique voice. Now, as the founder of Train 108, he delivers high-quality yoga teacher training designed to equip new instructors with the knowledge, skill, and self-assurance needed to make a meaningful impact.
Tom currently teaches Hatha and Ashtanga classes at a Yoga Studio in Ampthill but his expertise extends beyond traditional yoga, offering release classes that incorporate self-massage techniques with therapy balls to help students relieve tension and restore mobility.
Alongside his yoga qualifications - including a 200-hour YTT in Ashtanga, a Level 3 Diploma in Teaching Yoga, and a 300-hour Advanced Ashtanga YTT - Tom holds a First-Class Honours Degree in Exercise Science and a Distinction Master’s Degree in Physical Activity, Nutrition, and Health Promotion.
