Practical Insights and Wisdom from Eastern Mysticism
course price icon
From 93 C$ /h
arrow icon
Want more clarity, calm, and better relationships — without the spiritual jargon or endless theory?
I’ve spent over 10 years studying Eastern mysticism and tantra. What I’ve kept are the practical tools that actually improve everyday life: how you handle stress, how present you are with people, and how clearly you see your own patterns.
This is not about becoming a monk or adopting a new belief system.
It’s about usable wisdom you can apply the same day.
What we cover (tailored to you):

Simple practices for presence and emotional steadiness
How to reduce reactivity and overthinking
Clearer decision-making and self-awareness
Better energy and connection in relationships
Grounded insights from tantra (without the hype)

Sessions are straightforward, down-to-earth, and focused on real results rather than philosophy.Ideal if you want more inner quiet and outer effectiveness — without the fluff.
Extra information
come with a very open mind and prepared to transform.

About Me
Hi, I'm Joe Bains — comedian, biohacker, yogi, and builder.

I've been a standup comedian performing across the UK and abroad, with sets at Brighton, Henley, and Edinburgh Fringe, and I'm a Toastmasters Advanced Bronze with countless speeches delivered.

I'm a member of Tony Robbins' crew at UPW seminars and a devoted student of eastern mysticism — a Tantric Yogi and Vipassana practitioner who's completed five retreats and now meditates 1–2 hours daily.

I'm also building two businesses right now: RevenueMind Pro AI (AI automation for businesses) and Bioluxe Lab (a Shopify health and wellness store).

My biochemistry journey led me through keto and carnivore, culminating in a published book on healthy living.

Before diving into health and wellness, I spent 15 years as a Linux Network Administrator and Database Administrator across London and Switzerland — so I'm genuinely comfortable geeking out with tech and AI shows.

I've also been around the world twice, visiting 60+ countries, so travel and personal growth are baked into my perspective.

I love talking about:
• Comedy, creativity, and the craft of performance
• Biohacking, nutrition, and the carnivore/keto journey
• Meditation, mindfulness, and spiritual growth
• AI automation and business building
• Travel and expanding your life experience

Feeling stuck, directionless, or quietly unhappy with your job, relationship, or life in general?
I help people go from shy, under-confident, and drifting... to clear, socially fluent, and actually living the life they want.
I know the journey because I lived it. I left school as a small, weak, introverted kid with zero social skills. I had to work twice as hard as everyone else just to keep up — so I did. I deliberately put myself in uncomfortable situations until growth became normal.
Today I’m an extrovert who has worked as an IT consultant across multiple countries, performed stand-up comedy, travelled around the world twice, published a book, and trained extensively in tools that actually work: Tony Robbins UPW/Date With Destiny, Millionaire Mind Intensive, Vipassana, breathwork, cold exposure, and more.
What we’ll work on together:

Clarity on what you actually want
Social confidence and the ability to connect with anyone
Practical mindset and daily systems that stick
Building momentum without overwhelm

No fluff. No endless theory. Just real, usable change.
Ready to stop drifting and start becoming the person you’re capable of being?

Juggling re-wires your brain and makes it 2-3% more denser.
I've taught kids and adults how to juggle.
If you learn it the right way its quite easy and fast.
Hit me up and I'll teach you to juggle quickly and easily.
Most of it is me giving you a quick lesson and you go away and practice it over several days then another quick lesson to get you to the next level and then you go away and practice that.
small simple steps of about 6 to 12 sessions will have you juggling.
each session is 15-30mins as most of it is you practicing what I've taught you.
60 mins is for individuals
120 minutes is for groups

A step-by-step tuition program that:
Builds self-esteem
Increases resilience
Improves wellbeing
Improves communication
Improves study skills

Resources provided include:
-Mentoring
-3D animation videos to explain concepts
-Worksheets
-Other supplementary materials

Who i've worked with;
-students at prestigious schools across the world (e.g. Eton College, St. Paul's)
-students at the top universities (e.g. Oxford University, Yale University)
-student athletes (e.g. Harvard/Stanford and Team GBR Olympics teams)
-recent graduates at the world's top firms (e.g. Goldman Sachs, Slaughter & May)

This programme has been turned into a workshop and will be delivered at both Oxford and Cambridge universities for first year students.

Every student needs assistance to rebound after the pandemic and lockdowns. I have the expertise to get students back on track.

I have tutored students from the most prestigious schools in the country as well as students internationally.

I have delivered talks at schools on student success and have authored four books on topics such as productivity, time-management, self-discipline & confidence.

I founded the first online personal development academy for teenagers based around a holistic approach to learning. I also create wellbeing & mental health resources for young people at schools and universities.

My role is not only in preparing students for the future but it is giving them the confidence to shape it. My objective is to inspire, motivate and cultivate ambitious young students who have the ability to identify and fulfil their aspirations.

I combine five interlinked components that, if worked on in tandem, can drastically change a students life for the better and aid them in becoming the pioneers of the future.

These 5 strands are:
1) Mindset
2) Wellbeing Management
3) Study Skills
4) Life Skills
5) Leadership Development

I place a special emphasis on personal development and this is what makes me different. I believe it is possible to equip students with the mindset and skillset to radically alter their lives for the better.

My instruction goes beyond this by including study skills such as note-taking, memory improvement techniques, speed-reading, and effective revision into its program. These skills will stay with pupils and enlighten their entire academic tenure.

Finally, my role is also about offering guidance to students in terms of their current issues, academic future and potential career paths. My educational system is a result of years of lessons I myself learned progressing through the academic arena all the way to university level. In addition, it encompasses all the research I have conducted in self-improvement, effective study skills and successful leadership. These methods have been tested and proven successful. I hope to impart this knowledge to the next generation and watch them do great things with it.

Yours sincerely,
Ash

Hi, I'm Polly! I graduated with a first-class BA in Geography from the University of Oxford and I am about to start my MA at SOAS University of London. My experience includes teaching English in China for a year, over four years tutoring Geography from KS3 to undergraduate level, and teaching A-level Geography at an international school.

Geography is more than just maps; it's the study of the world and how humans interact with it, making it essential for understanding our interconnected planet and the challenges we face. This class ranges from physical geography, such as Earth's features and natural processes, to human geography, including population, urban development, and cultural landscapes. Students will develop critical skills like map reading, spatial awareness, analytical thinking, and research while exploring global issues such as climate change and sustainability. By learning geography, students gain a deeper appreciation for diverse cultures and environments, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to navigate and address the complex challenges of our world.

As a qualified tutor for the National Tutoring Programme, I've developed strategies to address learning gaps and support students with SEND needs. My expertise covers human and physical Geography, ensuring comprehensive support across a range of topics. I tailor my approach to each student’s needs, focusing on content mastery, exam techniques, and revision strategies, with follow-up exercises to reinforce learning and build confidence.
