Yoga and wellbeing with Vaughan

WELLBEING, YOGA, MEDITATION & BREATH WORK FOR YOUR MIND, BODY & SOUL

I'm a down to earth, urban hippy with one foot on a DnB dancefloor and one foot walking barefoot in Latin America. I'm a trained yoga, breathwork, mindfulness and wellbeing facilitator, with a passion for creating spaces that allow people to thrive rather than simply survive. I also run authentic relating and conscious connection workshops with my partner Natty, and recently added Ecstatic Dance facilitation to my resume. Trained in level two Non-Violent Communication (NVC), motivational interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), my work explores a hybrid of cognitive and somatic work to find balance and flow in everyday life.

Before moving into the wellbeing space I worked in the fast paced, high pressure world of media production as a freelance director, producer and camera operator - an area I still dabble in to get my fix of creativity, hustle and bustle. In lockdown I started not for profit CIC 'Flip Your Dog For Mental Health', offering free yoga and wellbeing to low income families and marginalised communities in Hackney, East London. I carried my interest in charity work into face to face fundraising for Medicine Sans Frontier, and more recently I spent 2 years as a recovery worker, supporting people with alcohol and substance use issues, working 1:1 and also running support groups. This work came about as I sought support and guidance for myself, as I have a close family member who has had a long running relationship with heroin and crack.

I bring these skills and life experience, along with my personal encounters with mental health, challenging times and self growth, to my work. As cliched as it may sound, it's a genuine privilege to be supporting people like you explore and nurture a healthy relationship with self, as we navigate this crazy thing called life.
