Today we’d like to introduce you to Wayne Campbell.
Wayne’s journey as a healer began after experiencing a life-changing accident that ended his dance career. He over-flipped while doing a backflip on a concrete sidewalk, landing on his tailbone/sacrum. The pain was intense and unrelenting, no matter how many chiropractors or massage therapists he consulted with. While his dance career was over, his healing career began as Wayne went on to spend the next 20 years developing the stretches & Massage Techniques that would become his Campbell Flex Stretch Revolution & Texas Thai Sports Massage Methods.
In 2012 he created a Stretch Workshop called Campbell Flex Stretch Revolution. From 2012 to 2015, he taught this 2-hour stretch workshop locally in the Houston area. The Stretch Workshops were originally offered once a month and eventually twice a month. After creating a following of students and a demand for more workshops, he turned the Stretch Workshops into weekly 1 hour Stretch Classes that he renamed Stretch Flow Yoga and was teaching 3 classes a week.
After 4 months of teaching weekly Stretch Classes, he decided to open Urban Fit Yoga in August 2016. Currently, he offers 12 Stretch Flow Yoga Classes each week. He also offers Bikram Hot Yoga Classes, Hatha Flow Yoga Classes, Abs & Booty Burnin Classes, Yoga Sports Training Classes, Yoga Wheel Workshops, and a variety of other workshops through the year.
One of his favorite things to do every day is a stretch. Stretching allows Wayne to live pain-free. He has created a therapeutic group class from stretches that he’s developed, called the Campbell Flex Stretch Revolution. This class compliments Yoga, Pilates, Crossfit, Triathlons, or any other sports. “This has been a twenty-five-year journey into pain relief and flexibility that I have simplified into a Stretch Workshop format.”
The stretches of CAMPBELL FLEX STRETCH REVOLUTION have helped Wayne to start taking the Advance 84 Yoga Poses Class for the first time in September 2014, which allowed his body to prepare and compete in both the 2015 & 2016 Texas Yoga Championships, the 2017 Southern Regional Yoga Championship, and 2015, 2016, & 2017 USA National Yoga Championships. Wayne won First Place in the 2017 USA National Yoga Championship (Men’s 50+ Division) and will be competing in the 2018 International Yoga Championship.
Wayne is a Certified Bikram Yoga Teacher. He lives in Houston, Texas where he teaches both Bikram Hot Yoga and his Stretch Flow Yoga Classes (CAMPBELL FLEX STRETCH REVOLUTION). He is also a Licensed Massage Therapist and owes Texas Thai Sports Massage where he combines Thai Massage with Sports Massage and Myofascial Release. He received his formal massage training from Avalon School of Massage in Houston, Texas. That was where he was introduced to Thai massage, which was his inspiration and starting point for developing his Texas Thai Sports Massage & the Campbell Flex Stretch Revolution systems. “My life is about helping myself and others live as “pain-free” as possible”.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
The main obstacle has been embracing the areas of running a business that I have very little competence or experience in, like learning about SEO, city laws regarding business signs, and business software.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Urban Fit Yoga story. Tell us more about the business.
Urban Fit Yoga is a boutique Yoga Studio that offers Stretch Flow Yoga Classes, Hatha Flow Yoga Classes, Bikram Hot Yoga Classes, Abs & Booty Burning Classes, Yoga Sports Training Classes, as well as the Yoga Wheel Workshops. We are known for our Stretch Flow Yoga Classes, which helps to eliminate chronic pain and tightness. This is a Stretch Focused Yoga Class for all levels of students, looking to increase their flexibility, and for those living with chronic pain and tightness.
I am most proud of how so many of the students are finding relief from chronic pain and tightness, increased flexibility, and have a consistent yoga practice, taking 2-4 classes a week.
What sets us apart from others is the clear, alignment-focused personal teaching and instructions from Wayne Campbell. Wayne Campbell is the 2017 USA National Yoga Champion and has trained with former World & National Yoga Champions as well as Senior Yoga Teachers.
Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business?
Serendipity, rather than luck, has played a huge role in both my life and business. I have learned to slow down by sitting still, slowing my breath, and quieting my mind, which has allowed me to tune into my intuition. When I try and force an outcome, I run the risk of stress and struggle. When I slow down, allow and accept, get out of the way, serendipitously life flows effortlessly for me.
