As a teenager and young adult, Ty Brennand wasn’t interested in academic lessons, but lived for art and sport. During his early days at art college, he got mixed up with the wrong crowd. Lacking discipline and proper role models, he fell deeper and deeper into a dark hole until he felt there was no way out. But he found comfort and discipline in physical training – and discovered yoga – before vowing to turn his life around. With the help of The Prince’s Trust, Ty studied to become a personal trainer and run his own business. Now he is a role model for others as a Young Ambassador for the Trust. “I wanted to be around positive people – people who can uplift and help me. It was the first time in my life that I felt someone believed in me.”
