Dean Alexander Jordan, LLB (Hons)
Director and Wellness Instructor
About Dean
Dean is a founding Director of the Heston Wellness Centre (HWC) and a dedicated advocate for community-led health. A law graduate with a sharp eye for governance and social justice, Dean transitioned into the wellness sector to address the physical and mental health inequalities he observed within the local community.
At HWC, Dean combines his legal rigour with a compassionate approach to fitness, ensuring that our programmes are not only safe and legally compliant but also deeply inclusive and effective for Heston’s diverse population.
Expertise and Qualifications
Dean brings a multidisciplinary approach to wellness, specialising in low-impact and high-energy disciplines that cater to all ages and abilities. His professional qualifications include:
Tai Chi & Qigong Instructor: Dean specialises in these ancient practices to help our elderly students improve their balance, coordination, and mental focus. His sessions are a cornerstone of our Falls Prevention initiative.
Yoga Practitioner: Focusing on breathwork and mobility, Dean helps participants manage chronic pain and improve flexibility, particularly for those with limited mobility.
Meditation Instructor: Dean earned his certification under the guidance of Swami Saradananda, and has since held meditation classes that focus on stress relief, mental clarity, and overall well-being.
Community Impact & Vision
Dean has been instrumental in growing HWC from a small local group to a community organisation serving over 300 residents. He is particularly focused on the "social prescribing" model, working to ensure that wellness activities are recognised as a vital part of the local healthcare ecosystem.
Having worked with the elderly and those with physical disabilities, Dean understands the importance of creating a "safe space" where participants feel seen and supported. His classes are known for their welcoming atmosphere.
Governance and Volunteer Commitment
In his capacity as a Director, Dean provides essential oversight of HWC’s operational policies, safeguarding protocols, and strategic planning.
"My goal is to ensure that everyone in Heston, regardless of their age or physical condition, has access to the tools they need to live a healthier, happier, and more connected life. At HWC, we aren't just teaching classes; we are building a resilient community." — Dean Jordan
