Teaching adults, teens & kids how to thrive in our modern world
Unique, in-person classes for adults, kids & teens in & around Totnes, South Devon.
The world has, and continues, to change dramatically
With the arrival of the modern, digital world society no longer retains the same level of structure both at home and in the world at large:
Kids: with the breakdown in traditional family structure, many children are not taught the qualities which allow them to grow and succeed
Teens: with the lack of proper family structure, and the constant interference of digital media, our teenagers are not developing the values they will require to succeed in adulthood
Adults: the pressure on adults emotionally, financially and mentally has now reached such high levels that a high percentage of adults are not coping with modern life
Yet we know that there must be more we can do to help them live a happier life. Imagine your child becoming strong, empowered, confident and able to cope with whatever they meet in their life.
We’re Here to Help
Our sessions offer something for everyone. Through years of experience, we have blended together traditional and new methods to strengthen you no matter what your age or gender.
We will guide you through a wide-range of challenges, exercises and thought-provoking ideas that will stimulate, educate and motivate you to be so much better than you ever thought you could be.
There will be specific sessions targeted at improving your physical skills, or increasing mental agility and critical thinking, or helping you to control and understand your emotions — Mind, Body & Spirit.
It will permeate your life and make the world around you seem brighter as you look at it through new eyes.
Why Train with Inner Depth?
1. Mental Agility
Our sessions require you to “think”, to analyse and to critique. That may challenge your programmed, or learnt, behaviour.
You become adept at critical thinking and analysis — even our young ones can see where something is being performed correctly or not.
This is the adage “make the brain work and the body will follow”.
2. Physical Dexterity
It is not our objective to get you “fit” in the physical sense. What we do is to improve your balance, co-ordination, muscular strength and overall abilities to function far more successfully in the world.
Whether you are a ”Dragon” learning to connect up your body and improve your sports skills;
Or a Teenager trying to reconnect as your body grows out of control;
Or and older student who just wants to hold back (and even stop) the effects of time and life.
We will make you the “best you can be” whoever, or whatever age you are.
3. Emotional Intelligence
We will give you the ability to understand your emotions and the way in which your actions affect the world you live in.
You may not have been taught to understand the universe inside you.
We give you the space and time to go on that journey.
You have the capacity to be a “great master” of yourself and we will help you discover that person.

Student & Parent Observations
She's like a new, vibrant girl
When our daughter started classes she was really shy and found it hard to speak in front of people. Within no time the teachers had her shouting, laughing and joking around. It was incredible to watch.

6 year old "Dragon"
It is like finding my Happy Place
When I think about my first time, I realise I felt very stressed with school and friends. Now, I can’t wait to get there. I have made some great friends who I love spending time with and I found that I was not alone. We are all going through the same sort of things but here we can just be happy.
Female Student:
14 year old (Kung Fu Teens)
I feel so peaceful after every class
It is a real bonus to find time for "me". Balancing work and family life with all the stresses that come with it is so difficult.
But, in class, I get chance to interact with like-minded people, discover new ways of looking at the world and leave any problems "at the door".
I know they will still be there when I go out but I leave feeling relaxed, refreshed and ready to "go again".
