Vinyasa, Daoist Flow + Pranayama

What to expect

Vinyasa is a style of yoga which synchronises postures, transitions and movements by using the breath as a partner and trusted guide. It is often called flow. We will practice a slow paced flow and I will introduce you to the principles of somatics. Yoga is considered a somatic practice as we move our attention to our inner experience.

Somatics practice uses the mind-body connection to help you observe your internal self and listen to signals your body sends about areas of tension, discomfort or imbalance. The most common naturally occurring sensations you may have felt from within will be your heartbeat, butterflies in your tummy and definitely your breath as it moves in and out.

Daoist Flow is a holistic and nourishing practice which encourages us to connect with our bodies, breath, and movement in a way that feels natural and organic. 

This involves incorporating elements of qigong, somatics, and natural movement into the practice, all of which aim to promote a sense of flow and ease within the body. This practice is grounded in the belief that everything in the universe is interconnected and part of a larger whole, a principle shared by both Daoist and Yoga traditions. Daoist Flow cultivates a deep sense of awareness and connection with nature, both within ourselves and in the world around us.

Corporate Wellness

Investing in your team on a physical and mental health level is probably the best return on investment you could make. Staff burnout from stress and over work is a real issue. Offering your team a more holistic approach will benefit them greatly.

How do I know this? Because I work in advertising so I speak your language. I’m an Executive Producer these days but worked for many years as a motion designer and then Design Director. The creative process is fun and rewarding - but day in day out, it can take its toll too. I have worked at AMV BBDO, the Mill, Passion and now Woodblock. I have taught yoga to teams at Woodblock and Passion Pictures.

A weekly online yoga class that your team can tap into either first thing in the morning or after work once they get home could be a wonderful way to reward your team by showing them you care about their wellbeing. In the past this might have looked more like a card behind the bar at the pub. Not everyone wants that kind of kick anymore and the investment in their health may be a better choice. Healthy minds and bodies make for better and sustainable productivity. Contact me to discuss a plan and pricing.
