Dan Sarkozi

Dan Sarkozi is the founder of Retreat Relax Rejuvenate. He has been a lifelong athlete, competing in Taekwondo, Boxing, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Alongside his athletic endeavors, Dan's coaching career began with his first black belt at age fourteen, continued when he began personal training in 2008, saw him become the youngest British Boxing Board of Control registered trainer/ second in 2009, and achieved the rank of Yoga Acharya (professor of yoga) in 2020. A lifelong practitioner of yoga, Dan suffered a surprise stroke at age 28, due to a hidden heart defect. He was fortunate to make a full recovery and return to professional boxing, of which he believes his lifelong practice of yoga, nutrition, and regular exercise played an integral role: ‘People always ask what I did to recover from my stroke, but the answer lies in what I did for the twenty years before I had it’. ​Now retired from competition, Dan has taught boxing, practical health, and Yoga all over the world, including the Empire Fighting Chance charity in the United Kingdom, where he was the founding coach and mentor. An advocate for a holistic approach to health and for acknowledging the needs of the individual, Sarkozi is an inspiring public speaker, keynoting at venues such as Excel London. Sarkozi is fluent in British Sign Language and an alumnus of The Open University, where he studied an Open Degree specialising in Health Sciences and Literature.
